You don’t have to learn the guitar you see. \n\nJenny Hart is currently making a name for herself up and down the country so\, why not get her in for look\, thought we? “Lively musical comedy that can be joyously wrong and infinitely dirty\, lusciously dark and often quite flirty” is what’s in store apparently! \n“She’s a bold\, brash\, shameless presence… …a powerhouse surely poised to storm the circuit.”  Chortle\n \nCalifornia’s Russell Hicks still can’t believe he gets to make people laugh for a living\, travel the world\, and most importantly\, not wake up early on Monday mornings. A provocative and exuberant comedian with a rock star edge\, his masterful weaving of improvisation with material has earned him a devoted following and appearances on Channel 4\, BBC and ITV. \n‘Masterful’ The List    ‘That was f***ing awesome’ David Gower    ‘A sharp wit and cut throat style’ Broadway Baby \nYour evening comes complete with Ash Preston  The comedians you see at Manchester Comedy Club are booked by Comedy In A Van

SUMMARY:Octagon Comedy Club\, Bolton
DESCRIPTION:Pete Otway\, Jacob Nussey\, Eddie Fortune and MC Harry Stachini at Octagon Comedy Club\, Bolton Please scroll down for comedians’ details.\n\nActs subject to change. Proper swearing. 18+ Fully seated. We want everyone to have a great night so pop your mobile on silent and please don’t talk when the show is on. Sorry\, but we can only refund or reallocate in event of the show being cancelled. Thanks!\n \nIt’s been a few years since dairy farmer Pete Otway swapped the cow sheds of Cumbria for the comedy clubs of the big\, wide world and even hosting a YouTube comedy travelogue with Serbian comedy stars Krusevac Geto. In fact\, Pete has carved himself quite the side hustle in presenting with regular appearances on the Hits Network\, Rock FM\, Radio City\,XS Manchester and BBC Radio 4 Extra. Pete has also performed stand-up on BBC Radio 2 and 4. \n“Brilliant” Steve Wright\, BBC Radio 2 “Laugh out loud funny” Broadway Baby  “An audacious comedian” Voice Magazine \nJacob Nussey unassumingly draws in audiences with his deadpan style\, sharp jokes\, and ill-fated anecdotes with clever punchlines. He’s seriously funny and well worth catching live. Named as ‘one to watch in 2023’ by comedy website Chortle\, we are firm fans and predict much bigger things for Jacob. \n‘Highly effective’ 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\n“Well observed characterisations and anecdotes” The Skinny    “Audience in stitches with gags” Bedfordshire News \nEddie Fortune takes the middle spot.
