SUMMARY:Darwen Comedy Club
DESCRIPTION:Troy Hawke\, Phil Nichol\, Howard Anstock\, MC Danny Mcloughlin. Scroll down for comedians’ details. \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! \nSometimes I dread writing these biogs and this is\, most definitely\, one of them! How do you describe a comedy sensation such as Troy Hawke? \n  Well\, first things first. He is the creation of award winning comedian Milo McCabe. And what makes him different? Well\, Troy is an erudite home schooled 1930’s throwback…the Errol Flynn of the high street. Educated\, sophisticated\, but utterly clueless. He tackles modern issues head on in his uniquely untimely manner. Home schooled by a mother who was very much tied to the past\, Troy engages with the 21st century like someone who has spent the last forty years in suspended animation. He’s also a bit of a whizz when it comes to Scrabble and has performed a full length show connecting Scrabble scores to all the weirdest of conspiracy theories.  \nSo\, he definitely won’t have even heard of social media then? This is where things get slightly contradictory. Troy is huge on social media as the sole member of the Greeters Guild\, welcoming shoppers to all the big stores such as Wilko\, Tesco\, Wairose and B&Q (who were distinctly non-plussed!).  \nJune 2022 saw Troy reach a more mainstream audience when he was invited to join Phil and Hollie on ITV’s This Morning! As you can imagine the usual antics ensued with Troy pranked the pair by inviting their boss onto the set live on air! \nThis idiot savante dresses like a matinee idol\, speaks in perfect received pronunciation and is completely at odds with the world around him. Whether recounting an afternoon at the football with ‘the chaps’ or engaging in ‘audience badinage’ with the front row you can be sure the laughs come thick and fast! \n‘Belly laughs from start to finish’ ★★★★★ Weekend Notes  ‘Mad comic genius’ The Scotsman \n ‘Near perfect character comedy’ New Current  ‘Undeniably funny’ ★★★★ Chortle ★★★★★ Fringe Feed  \n\nTo say Phil Nichol is something of a legend on the comedy circuit would be an understatement. He has won the ‘main comedy award at the Edinburgh Fringe (after two previous nominations) which is the comedy equivalent of the Nobel PrizeHis skill as an improviser whether it be musical\, comedy or straight is unparalleled. hil is an energetic and exciting performer with an unquenchable thirst to break boundaries and innovate with his work. 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 very best comedians you can see performing live today \n.“Riotously funny” Sunday Telegraph   ★★★★★ The Scotsman   “Cripplingly funny.” Three Weeks \n \n\nHoward Anstock is the middle act and your compere is Danny Mcloughlin (“Alongside the most talented and genuinely funny comedians” Three Weeks) \n \nDarwen Comedy Club is booked by Comedy In A Van

SUMMARY:Darwen Comedy Club
DESCRIPTION:Danny Ward\, Stephen Bailey\, Tal Davies\, MC Raymond Mearns. Scroll down for comedian’s details. \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! \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\n\n“Worked brilliantly throughout\, with a killer ending”. Bournemouth Echo  \n“Slick\, quick\, and packed with funny” ★★★★ Three Weeks \n\nStephen Bailey ( Live at the Apollo \, Celebrity Mastermind etc) is a proud Northern\, working class\, gay man. 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\n“Natural talent” Metro   “Rising star” The Sun \n\n\n\n\nThe show comes complete with Tal Davies and your compere for the evening is Glasgow’s Raymond Mearns. Raymond combines razor sharp observations with blinding improvisation and audience interaction to produce one of the most memorable evenings of comedy you are likely to see. \n\n“An improvisational genius” Frankie Boyle “Funny and cathartic” The Scotsman\n\nDarwen Comedy Club is booked by Comedy In A Van

SUMMARY:Darwen Comedy Club
DESCRIPTION:Steve Harris\, Peter Brush\, Mike Cox\, MC Roger Monkhouse. Scroll down for comedian’s details. \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! \nSteve Harris has been a stand up comedian for over twenty years and followed in the footsteps of Peter Kay\, John Bishop and Alan Carr by winning the North West Comedian of the Year Award . The only difference being it was Steve’s fifth ever gig! \nWhatever your age or wherever you’re from Steve has something that will leave you breathless with laughter. A master of the obvious and a Ninja of the not so obvious\, you’ll be hit so hard by a punch line you won’t know where it’s come from. A well-crafted act and the confidence to work outside of it\, is what sets Steve aside from the workaday comedian. He also does a particularly impressive frozen emu impression. \n“I couldn’t lift my hands to wipe the tears of laughter from my face” Chortle “Quite simply\, fantastically funny” BBC\n \nLeeds based Peter Brush (★★★★★ ”Compellingly hilarious.. …achingly funny” Chortle) is a quirky and unique performer and the antithesis to loud\, brash comedians. A gifted writer he supported comedy godfather Alexei Sayle on his 2020 tour. \n  Mike Cox (“Delicious cynicism and razor sharp wit.” Romesh Ranganathan) takes the middle spot and compere for the evening is seasoned pro and Manchester Comedy Store regular Roger Monkhouse  who exerts a masterful control over any audience. Roger is widely regarded as a master of observational comedy with routines that are universally and unfailingly hysterical. \n“Unfailingly entertaining – a gifted natural” Chortle\n \nDarwen Comedy Club is booked by Comedy In A Van

Thanks! \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 \nProbably now best known for his numerous Radio 4 series\, Sheffield’s Tom Wrigglesworth has brought mirth to the masses as far away as New Zealand whilst picking up plaudits and prestigious awards on the way. \n★★★★★ Time Out ★★★★★ Scotsman \nBlackburn’s very own Tez Ilyas (“Serious talent.’ Telegraph ‘Radiantly entertaining.’ The Times) will be hosting the proceedings and Coventry’s Stella Graham (‘Go see her now” The Skinny completes a fantastic show.  \nDarwen Comedy Club is booked by Comedy In A Van
