We want everyone to have a great night so please pop your phone on silent and don’t chat whilst the show is in progress. Thanks! Sorry\, but we can only reallocate or refund if the show is cancelled.\n \nOne of the few comics able to play to any audience without compromising on his material\, David Longley can delight a hen party and the comedy connoisseur on the same night. on the one hand\, abrasive\, crude and insulting and on the other\, articulate\, intelligent\, charming and disarmingly funny. Longley’s towering stage presence and intensity\, combined with his cutting wit have made him one of the most popular circuit comics in the UK\, whether it’s doling out thought-provoking insights or revelling in toilet humour\, Longley is a gifted wordsmith with great audience interaction skills. \n“Highly original and bloody funny” Three Weeks “Intelligent\, silly\, thought-provoking and filthy” Metro \nAudiences can be forgiven for underestimating Peter Brush when he takes to the stage. If ballsy bravado is your thing then Brush certainly isn’t your man. Peter unassumingly takes the stage\, his slight frame\, spectacles and scruffy hair adding nothing to the illusion that we’re in for some first class entertainment. \n\n\nLeeds based Peter is a quirky and unique performer and the antithesis to loud\, brash comedians. A gifted writer he supported comedy OG Alexei Sayle on his 2020 tour. \n”Compellingly hilarious.. …achingly funny” ★★★★★ Chortle\n \nFew are funnier than Comedy Store and Frog & Bucket veteran Mick Ferry! Whether he’s running with a scatterbrained idea\, an audience suggestion or dipping into his extensive mental files of absolute\, top drawer gags and routines\, the end result is a barrage of laughter from a very happy audience and that is what we are all about. \n“See him or regret it” John Bishop ★★★★★ Mirror “Absolute legend” Jason Manford \nThe show comes complete with Kay Nicholson Off The Rails Comedy Club is programmed\, promoted and produced by Comedy In A Van \n\n

We want all our guests to have a great night so please respect those around you by turning off your phone and not talking whilst the show is in progress. As comedian’s material is copyright any form of video or audio recording is strictly forbidden. Thanks! \nLouis Burgess may have over 50 million online views but it’s live where he really comes alive. His rip-roaring concoction of singing\, rapping\, sampling\, beat boxing\, strumming\, looping and more creates a fire hydrant of comedy. \n“Had the crowd in stitches” Teignmouth Post    “Audience virtually crying with laughter” North Devon Gazette\n \nDiamond geezer\, Watford fan and stalwart of British comedy\, Eddy Brimson has many strings to his bow. As well as being a much in demand comedian\, he has penned several books on his first love of football including ‘Tear Gas And Ticket Touts’ and the ‘Hooligan’ series (alongside brother Dougie).

Oh\, don’t worry about that as the answer is ‘very’. Awards include winning the 2020 Joe Comedy Award and Bethany is British Comedy Guide recommended. \n“Laughing at every other word” ★★★★★ LGBT Arts Review    “A great comedy mind” British Comedy Guide \nThe comedians you see at Lancaster Comedy Club are booked by Comedy In A Van \n \n\n

Thanks!  \nHoward Read has performed stand-up all over the world from the Aspen and Melbourne Comedy Festivals to being nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award. He’s headlined comedy clubs up and down the country\, won a Writer’s Guild Award and performed in front of Royalty. If you’re aged around twenty then you may well remember both him and his alter ego\, Little Howard from their telly days.  Little Howard now lives in Dubai.  As well as cracking gas and embarking of fitful flights of fancy\, Howard sometimes plays the ukulele\, but only so he’s got something to hit audience members with\, when they try to stop him playing the ukulele. \n‘Incredibly\, achingly funny’ Daily Mail  ★★★★★ Independent  ★★★★★ British Theatre Guide \nNick Doody was the first ever British comedian to perform in Croatia and the last ever British comedian to support Bill Hicks. So\, whether you’re a newly emerging nation state or a soon to die comedy icon\, Nick is your man! \n“I love Nick Doody!” Independent \nSomething of a comedy god in his native Scotland\, the superbly sweary Raymond Mearns combines razor sharp observations with blinding improvisation and audience interaction to produce the most memorable comedy you are every likely to see.

Eddy is also an accomplished actor who has popped up in everything from Casualty to Absolutely Fabulous. He also played the arsonist who torched Frank Butcher’s business in East Enders and you don’t get much more geezer than that! \n“Quite simply brilliant” Sky  “The crowd loved him” The Guardian\n \nWigan’s Chris Washington made his Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2017 with his self-produced show ‘Dream Big (Within Reason)’ after taking all his annual leave in his full-time job as a postman. The gamble paid off and Chris received a nomination for Best Newcomer despite having no management\, promoter or PR. A feel-good underdog story which he describes as getting five numbers and the bonus ball on the comedy lottery. \n★★★★★ One4Review ★★★★★ Three Weeks ★★★★ Times ★★★★ Chortle \n\nHarry Stachini used to teach kids. Naughty kids. As in really\, really naughty kids and\, if you can make a success of that how difficult is a career as a stand up comedian? This natural comic\, still of comparatively few summers\, allows his natural warmth to carry hilarious tales and intricately spun stories with a skill usually only present in much more experienced comics. \n\nHarry’s a grafter and his solid work ethic and reputation amongst both audiences and promoters make him the comedian to watch out for in the next year or so! An impressive easy-going style pulls off stand ups oldest trick of leaving us feeling we are chatting to a mate as he shares his distinctive outlook on the world\, involves the audience and skilfully leads us into well-crafted scenarios\, with expert delivery. When not making people laugh like drains Harry writes\, acts and films short sketches and documentaries. \n“Well observed characterisations and anecdotes” The Skinny    “Audience in stitches with gags” Bedfordshire News \nYour show comes complete with Ricky Balshaw Comedy @ Whip & Kitten is booked by Comedy In A Van

We want all our guests to have a great night so please respect those around you by turning off your phone and not talking whilst the show is in progress. We can only refund or reallocate if the show is cancelled. Thanks!\n\nPaul McCaffrey’s numerous TV appearances include Live at the Apollo\, Russell Howard’s Good News\, Impractical Jokers UK and Stand Up Central. One of the most in-demand club headliners and support act for the biggest names in comedy including Kevin Bridges and Sean Lock. Whether it’s an enormous arena the cosy confines of a pub back room\, McCaffrey’s slightly cynical and completely baffled take on modern life wows the crowd every time. Come and see why!\n\n‘McCaffrey simply has funny bones‘ Shortlist ‘Born to be a comic’ The Scotsman\n\n‘Never anything less than gut-bustlingly hilarious‘ GQ Magazine\n\nAndrew Bird‘s fledgling steps into comedy began an under aged drinker in a Northampton pub\, eliciting laughter from ‘the lads’ in the tap room. An unsuccessful stint at art collage was followed by a more successful stint at working in a factory but he really missed the tap room bantz. London called and\, once again\, he had the pub regulars laughing but was also performing short spots on The Big Smoke’s legendary open mic circuit.\n\nAll the above has forged his mildly grumpy\, slightly stressed and bemused style of performance which not only make him stand out from the comedy masses but will\, no doubt\, contribute to an untimely death.\n\n“Comedy gold” The Scotsman  “Funny\, likeable and effortless” Time Out ‘Made me laugh every night’ Michael McIntyre\n\nYour evening comes complete with Canada’s Matt Foster and MC Rob Riley

The Salvation Army had different ideas… As former integral part of the Perrier award-winning show Otis Lee Crenshaw and the Black Liars\, with comic/songster Rich Hall\, Christian’s career has taken him around the world three times. On his way\, he received accolades at international festivals and numerous network TV credits in the USA\, Australia\, New Zealand and Britain. Now a solo stand-up performer and playing all the major comedy venues in his own right\, Christian uses his dynamic guitar and vocal skills to target histrionic rock bands\, musical theatre and morose indie musicians.   \n“The funniest songs I Have heard in a long time” The Scotsman ★★★★ Three Weeks ★★★★ Broadway Baby \nJoey Page was something of a cult comic\, a hit at comedy festivals around the globe and popped up on Never Mind The Buzzcocks in it’s BBC 2 days. Now\, there’s little better for a performer’s ego and reputation than being a cult but it can be tricky to pay those bills. Joey spent lockdown working on something more accessible and has struck the perfect pitch between ‘old’ Joey’s niche appeal and the instant\, big laughs modern audiences expect. A stunningly original funnyman at the height of his game. \n“Laugh-out-loud” ★★★★ Australia Times ★★★★★ Three Weeks \nThe show comes complete with Omar Badawy and Comedy In A Van’s Rob Riley returns to host the show. \nComedy @ Great Bentley Country Park is booked and teched by Comedy In A Van and promoted by Vigour Entertainment. \n  \n\n  \n

Thanks \nOn sale now on 01206 384656 or in person from MICA reception  \n\n\nBen Norris lies on the periphery of laddishness; part lairy blokishness\, part middle-class haughtiness and a well-stocked arsenal of sharp lines and the wherewithal to work any crowd make Norris one of the more engaging and enjoyable comics on the circuit. He has appeared on a range of different television shows such as Mock the Week and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. He is also the cousin of actor Martin Freeman and father to triplets! \n“Killer gags” The Scotsman “A master of the craft” GQ Magazine “Truly a sight to behold” Ed Byrne  \nOnce famously described as “Spewing out one-liners like he had just scoffed a dodgy prawn” by the Daily Record\, Paul Pirie‘s brand of high energy lunacy puts him very firmly in the Robin Williams school of comedic performance. Everyday tales of domestic mishap are vividly brought to life by Pirie’s manic antics. Be prepared for the unexpected and some very silly noises too. \n“Hilarious rubber-faced clown” The Scotsman \n\n\nAs seen on BT Sports DIY Pundit\, Danny Ward has an affably manic style that certainly wins over the crowds. It’s everyday things that fascinate Danny and he’s also a big fan of charity shop tat. If you have ever wondered how to plunge the entire national Wetherspoon’s chain into chaos then Danny has the answer which is as hilarious as it is simple. Whether he’s riffing off the audience or having his entire performance dictated by his FiloFax (ask your mum)\, Danny is a solid and unique comedian who seriously beefs up any comedy night. \n“Worked brilliantly throughout\, with a killer ending“. Bournemouth Echo “Slick\, quick\, and packed with funny” ★★★★ Three Weeks \n\nThe ‘highly effective’ (Chortle) Jacob Nussey takes the middle spot \n\nThe comedians you see at MICA Comedy Club is booked by Comedy In A Van
