Thanks! \n\nStephen Bailey\, (Live at the Apollo\, Celebrity Mastermind\, Takeshi’s Castle etc) is a proud Northern\, working class\, gay man. Although best known as a TV presenter it’s the arena of live\, stand up comedy where Stephen really shines. Gossipy\, bitchy\, close to the bone even\, but with such an infectious sense of fun everyone gets the joke and no one is left behind. \n“Natural talent” Metro  “Rising star” The Sun \n‘International Word Clown’ Gordon Southern divides his time between the UK and\, as soon as it starts to get a bit nippy\, Australia\, where he has quite a following.  If that’s already making you a tiny bit jealous then just wait to hear how he has wowed the crowds in Kuala Lumpur\, Bratislava and Jakarta. Gordon even headlined Serbia’s first ever comedy festival and has been booked twice for football governing body UEFA in Switzerland (Technically\, shouldn’t that count as a sending off?) and was the voice of the parrot in the Admiral insurance advert.  Assuming you haven’t seen comedy in any of the above countries and you’re still trying to place the face then chances are it will be the world famous Comedy Store on Leicester Square where he regularly appears. \n★★★★★ Adelaide Advertiser ★★★★★ Keeping Up With NZ ★★★★★ Broadway Baby \nAnd who better to compere the show than the deliciously manic Phil Ellis? Phil’s hysterically funny and downright wrong kid’s show – Funz And Gamez was so funny the Edinburgh Fringe people had to create a prize for it.

SUMMARY:George's Comedy Club\, Blackburn
DESCRIPTION:Rob Rouse\, Stephen Bailey\, Karl Porter and MC Tez Ilyas all at Blackburn’s longest running comedy club Scroll down for comedians’ details. \nActs subject to change. Fully seated. 18+ Proper sweary swearing. 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! \nRob Rouse‘s career has seen him encompass pretty much everything from presenting Channel 4’s The Friday Night Project\, to appearing the West End to teaching geography. We would like to point out that this isn’t in chronological order. Rob’s a one man comedy whirlwind who drags the audience into his craftily spun tall tales with bucketfuls of manic energy\, first class stage craft\, eerily convincing characterisations and a barrage of hilarious one liners. \n“Guaranteed to lighten even the darkest of moods” ★★★★★ Edinburgh Evening News  “Delirious but hilarious” ★★★★★ The List \nStephen Bailey\, (Live at the Apollo\, Celebrity Mastermind\, Takeshi’s Castle etc) is a proud Northern\, working class\, gay man. Although best known as a TV presenter it’s the arena of live\, stand up comedy where Stephen really shines. Gossipy\, bitchy\, close to the bone even\, but with such an infectious sense of fun everyone gets the joke and no one is left behind. \n“Natural talent” Metro “Rising star” The Sun \n\nTez Ilyas! Within a few years of first picking up a microphone this former civil servant won the BBC New Comedy Award and embarked on his first national tour in 2017 – TEZ Talks. Based on the popular TED Talks the show dispelled myths about British Muslims and\, despite the somewhat ambitious topic\, Ilyas worked his magic\, stormed the Edinburgh Fringe\, sold out an extended London theatre run and saw TEZ Talks turned into a Radio 4 series. \nA familiar face on our screens\, Tez is probably best known for Tez Ilyas’ Christmas (Sky Arts)\, Man Like Mobeen (BBC Three) but has also appeared on everything from The One Show to The News Quiz and\, of course\, his very own The Tez O’Clock Show on Channel 4. A phenomenally funny comedian who refuses to shy away from trickier subjects yet never forgets that the laughs need to come thick and fast. \n★★★★★ Mirror ★★★★ The Times ★★★★ The Telegraph ★★★★ Sunday Times \nYour show comes complete with Karl Porter \n\nThe comedians you see at George’s Comedy Club are booked by Comedy In A Van \n

Fully seated. 18+ Proper sweary\, swearing. 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 \nDescribed as having performed ‘Some of the best stand up I’ve seen’ by fellow Glaswegian Kevin Bridges\, Gary Little certainly makes an impression when he takes the stage. In fact\, you might be mistaken for thinking the venue’s bouncer has just decided to give this stand up comedy lark a go. Appearances aren’t everything though and\, as soon as Gary hits his stride\, you will be enjoying a deftly skilled comic and story teller with a veritable library of side-splitting stories to tell. \nNothing is off topic for Gary\, whether it’s something as mundane as dog walking etiquette\, as comically ambitious as his own depression or even the occasions he has spent pleasuring Her Majesty (His 2009 show ‘He’s Only Jail Gay’ was a hit at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe) you can rest assured he will make it devastatingly funny. \n“A born raconteur” Scotsman   ‘Brilliantly observed’ Herald\n\n‘Tears were streaming down my face’ ★★★★★ Mumbles Comedy   \n Gender fluid and dyspraxic?  Liverpool’s Sam Serrano certainly has a mine of comedic material in his day to day life and it’s small wonder their dark and self deprecating wit has taken the circuit by storm.  It has also seen Sam provide tour support for Brennan Reece and perform an incredible five solo hour shows at Hot Water Comedy Club\, Nottingham and Leicester Comedy Festivals \n“Killer lines…a lot going for them\, expect to see more” Chortle \n “Laugh-out-loud funny” Yorkshire Post \nRob Rouse‘s career has seen him encompass pretty much everything from presenting Channel 4’s The Friday Night Project\, to appearing the West End to teaching geography. We would like to point out that this isn’t in chronological order. Rob’s a one man comedy whirlwind who drags the audience into his craftily spun tall tales with bucketfuls of manic energy\, first class stage craft\, eerily convincing characterisations and a barrage of hilarious one liners.\n\n“A delirious but hilarious man” ★★★★★ The List\n\n“Guaranteed to lighten even the darkest of moods” ★★★★★ Edinburgh Evening News \n\nLondon’s Tegan Marlow takes the middle spot  \n\nGlossop Comedy Club is booked by Comedy In A Van\n  \n\n\n\n\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

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 \n2019 World One Liner Champion Stephen Cookson rounds off another hilarious evening at Darwen Comedy Club! \nThe comedians you see at Darwen Comedy Club are booked by Comedy In A Van

Thanks! \n\nRob Rouse‘s career has seen him encompass pretty much everything from presenting Channel 4’s The Friday Night Project\, to appearing the West End to teaching geography. We would like to point out that this isn’t in chronological order. Rob’s a one man comedy whirlwind who drags the audience into his craftily spun tall tales with bucketfuls of manic energy\, first class stage craft\, eerily convincing characterisations and a barrage of hilarious one liners. \n\n“Guaranteed to lighten even the darkest of moods” ★★★★★ Edinburgh Evening News  “Delirious but hilarious” ★★★★★ The List \n\nStephen Bailey\, (Live at the Apollo\, Celebrity Mastermind\, Takeshi’s Castle etc) is a proud Northern\, working class\, gay man. Although best known as a TV presenter it’s the arena of live\, stand up comedy where Stephen really shines. Gossipy\, bitchy\, close to the bone even\, but with such an infectious sense of fun everyone gets the joke and no one is left behind. \n\n“Natural talent” Metro “Rising star” The Sun \n\nLancaster Comedy Club is booked\, marketed and produced by Comedy In A Van\n

A first rate comedy act with unashamed vaudevillian echoes.

Much as we love Steve\, we do sometimes worry about him… \n“Comedy masterclass” The Stage \nBest known for his regular appearances at both London and Manchester Comedy Store’s\, Roger Monkhouse is something of a legend on the circuit. A complete mastery of the English language dressed in oodles of gentlemanly charm will win over the coldest of crowds making Roger one the very best comperes working today. It’s not all off the cuff stuff though; there are decades of class routines\, observations and bankable gags in reserve too. One of the very best.\n \nCompere for the evening is Tom Wrigglesworth. Tom is best known for his live storytelling shows and Sony Award winning BBC Radio comedy programmes which take a comical and emotional look at family relationships.
