Hornby Comedy Club, Lancaster

Hornby Comedy Club, Lancaster at Hornby Institute this February with Tony Burgess ( ‘Sharper than a Stanley knife’ The Visitor), Tom Taylor (‘Excellent‘ Sunday Times) and MC Rob Riley all at the first ever Hornby Comedy Club!  Please scroll down for comedians’ details.

Tony Burgess has been making a living from this stand up comedy lark since his teens. An obsessive writer from an early age, flab free gags are the hallmarks of Tony’s scintillating sets. Whether it’s musings on the Madchester days of yore or surreal takes on contemporary family life, surrender to the onslaught of laughter will be your only option! All gags and routines come in Tony’s trademark Mancunian jackdaw delivery.

“Great, well crafted gags” The Times    “Sharper than a Stanley knife” The Visitor

As daft as it is deft, Tom Taylor’s highly individual musical comedy is a surefire winner in front of any crowd. During the dark days of lock down, Tom collaborated with David Walliams, Mel Giedroyc, Graham Norton, Clare Balding and even Cliff Richard to create The Isolation Song Contest. Not only did this earn a very tidy sum for some very good causes but won Tom a Chortle Award into the bargain! When not performing stand up Tom writes and performs one man murder mystery plays.

“Wave after wave of funny” The Scotsman “Gloriously silly” The Stage  “Excellent … beautifully daft” Sunday Times
