SUMMARY:Darwen Comedy Club
DESCRIPTION:Steve Gribbin\, Dan Tiernan\, Dean Coughlin\, MC Freddy Quinne all at Darwen’s monthly comedy club! Scroll down for comedians’ details.\n\nActs subject to change. 18+ Proper sweary swearing. Fully seated. We want everyone to have a great night so please pop your mobile on silent and don’t chat when the show is on. Thanks!\n\nSteve Gribbin first took to the stage at the tender age of 13. He was cruelly beaten into third place by a ventriloquist and a Donny Osmond impersonator. You can’t keep a good man down though and Steve’s love of making people laugh rivals that of his affections for Liverpool FC and Elvis Costello. Steve puts absolutely everything he has got into every single gig he does. Sweat drips as he hammers out short\, sharp satirical songs that strike chords throughout the room. If it’s in the news\, he’s written something rapturously funny about it\, slaughtering sacred cows with deft musicianship and crowd slaying wit. No one can count themselves as a true comedy fan until they have seen Steve Gribbin. A bulletproof booking\, whether it’s Glastonbury or The Comedy Store\, Steve will more than do the job and we are proud to call ourselves fans. \n‘A highly refreshing and original comic. Hilarious!‘ The Scotsman ‘Pulls it off with real aplomb.‘ The Independent \nManchester’s Dan Tiernan is making big waves on the circuit despite only being in his mid-twenties. Gay\, dyspraxic and with enough energy to power the national grid\, Dan draws on his unconventional and chaotic life for inspiration and will reduce you to tears of laughter. 2021 saw him named Break Through Act of the Year in the North West Comedy Awards\, 2022 saw him win the BBC New Comedian Of The Year\, British Comedian Of The Year\, and\, in January 2023\, he became The Met Comedian Of The Year. Dan is going to be huge. \n“Raucously entertaining” The Guardian “Exhilarating performance… …a frenzy of laughter.” Chortle \nYour middle act is Mild High podcast host Dean Coughlin and your compere is Freddy Quinne who absolutely hates writing about himself in the third person but needs to fill out this part of his website because sometimes promoters will use these bios and copy and paste them into their own comedy events when he is on. Including us. We are going to add that he is half-Manx\, the man behind the Pigoted podcast and a very safe pair of compering hands. \n‘King of underground comedy’ The Pulse \nThe comedians you see at Darwen Comedy Club are booked by Comedy In A Van

Thanks! \nWell\, where do we start when it comes to Bethany Black? We could tell you that Chorley’s funniest daughter is Britain’s only goth\, lesbian\, transsexual comedian but that was fully covered in her debut show – ‘Beth Becomes Her’. \nAs well as making people laugh a lot\, Beth was spotted by Russell T Davis and played ‘Helen’ in Channel 4 series’ Cucumber\, Banana and Tofu. \nThis is all well and good but just how funny is she? Oh\, don’t worry about that as the answer is ‘very’.

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 \nJordan Ducharme is a Canadian comic specialising in the gritty type of humour that made him fall in love with stand up as a teenager. He’s continued to mature into a competent powerhouse on stage\, with no subject off limits and no stone left unturned in his own life. \nMoving to Manchester in 2019\, Jordan was quick to make a big splash\, quickly moving into paid work across the North West and further afield.\n \nYour host for the evening; Raymond Mearns. Something 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. As well as performing stand up\, Raymond has acted in everything from two films with legendary director Ken Loach to to the Cheesy Strings advert. \n “Every line that issues from this man is funny” Chortle    “A genuine improvisational genius” Frankie Boyle \nChorlton Comedy Club is booked\, marketed and produced by Comedy In A Van \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Chorlton Comedy Club
DESCRIPTION:Rob Rouse\, Eddy Brimson\, Catherine Young\, MC Phil Nichol at Chorlton Comedy Club! Scroll down for details on the comedians. \nPlease arrive in plenty of time. The bar temporarily closes at 8.30pm until the first interval. Doors open at 7.30pm \nActs subject to change. 18+ Fully seated. 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. Sorry but we can only refund or reallocate in event of the show being 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   “A delirious but hilarious man” ★★★★★ The List \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 his brother\, Dougie). 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 \nPhil Nichol is something of a legend on the comedy circuit. He has won the ‘main comedy award at the Edinburgh Fringe (after two previous nominations) which is the comedy equivalent of the Nobel Prize. \nPhil is an energetic and exciting performer with an unquenchable thirst to break boundaries and innovate with his work. His skill as an improviser whether it be musical\, comedy or straight is unparalleled. With a surreal edge to some of his mischievous rantings Nichol always brings something new to the stage\, his keen sense of fun and eye for the shocking and absurd has cemented his position as one of the best comedians on the circuit today. \n“Riotously funny” Sunday Telegraph “Cripplingly funny.” Three Weeks “Unflappable\, luminous talent” The List \nThe show comes complete with Catherine Young. Winner of the Hilarity Bites New Act of the Year 2019. Catherine regularly absconds from Middlesbrough and the general misery of life\, by running around the UK comedy circuit looking for anyone who will listen to her. \nChorlton Comedy Club is booked\, marketed and produced by Comedy In A Van \n \n  \n  \n
