SUMMARY:George's Comedy Club\, Blackburn
DESCRIPTION:Danny Posthill\, Rob Rouse\, Joe Foster and MC Harry Stachini all at Blackburn’s first\, foremost and funniest 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! \nComedian and impressionist Danny Posthill is best remembered for his outstanding performance on the finals of Britain’s Got Talent. Danny’s hilarious stand-up features some very ‘special guests’ such as Alan Carr\, Michael McIntyre\, Gary Barlow\, Sarah Millican and Donald Trump\, alongside all the other topical political characters of today. \n“Brilliantly funny” David Walliams \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“Guaranteed to lighten even the darkest of moods” ★★★★★ Edinburgh Evening News   “A delirious but hilarious man” ★★★★★ The List \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 \nBrighton’s Joe Foster (★★★★ The List) takes the middle spot. The comedians you see at George’s Comedy Club are booked by Comedy In A Van \nDanny Posthill\, Rob Rouse\, Joe Foster and MC Harry Stachini at Georges Comedy Club\, Blackburn Friday 1 November 2024 (C) Comedy In A Van

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‘Gut-bustlingly hilarious‘ GQ Magazine ‘Fucking funny‘ Frank Skinner ‘Born to be a comic’ The Scotsman \nYour host for the evening is Stephen Bailey\, (Live at the Apollo\, Celebrity Mastermind\, Takeshi’s Castle etc). 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“Natural talent” Metro “Rising star” The Sun \nYour show is completed by Jules O’Brian who performs at venues and festivals around the country\, telling anyone who will listen about ageing disgracefully\, body hang-ups\, parenting\, and dating. She is TalkTalk’s official voice and her silly writings feature frequently in magazines including Prima and MamaLife. This former teacher’s relaxed and chatty style\, crowd interaction and warmth\, all served with a sardonic wit\, make her a natural crowd pleaser. \nThe comedians you see at George’s Comedy Club are booked by Comedy In A Van \nNick Doody\, Paul McCaffrey\, Jules O’Brian and MC Stephen Bailey at Georges Comedy Club\, Blackburn Friday 3 May 2024 (C) Comedy In A Van \n

Thanks! \nTen years since his BBC New Comedy Award win\, things have been going rather well for Steve Bugeja ( ‘Boo-Jay_Ah‘ seeing as you asked).

Daughter of a best selling author\, Jojo was raised in a castle until the money ran out and the entire family had to move into a caravan! Two marriages and four children later\, Jojo is a regular on Scottish TV and radio. \nHer “healthy neglect” approach to parenting forms the backbone to her material interspersed with everyday grievances and motherly advice.

Not only did this earn a very tidy sum for some very good causes but won Tom a Chortle Award into the bargain! \nWhen not performing stand up Tom writes and performs one man murder mystery plays. \n“Wave after wave of funny” The Scotsman “Gloriously silly” The Stage  “Excellent … beautifully daft” Sunday Times \n “An absolute delight” The Skinny “So funny at one point I thought my lungs were going to burst” Broadway Baby \nA regular on BBC One’s Live At The Apollo\, Tez Ilyas is also known for Tez Ilyas’ Christmas (Sky Arts)\, Man Like Mobeen (BBC Three) and 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.

Manc\, ginger and proud\, brace yourself for a full frontal comedic assault when Jamie pulls the mic form the stand. One liners\, puns\, pulling faces\, uncanny characterisations and clowning are all utilised as deadly weapons in Jamie’s one man war on the mundane. \n“Simply phenomenal” Notts Comedy Review “Absolutely hilarious” Seann Walsh \nMC Alex Boardman\, cut his comedic teeth on the burgeoning Manchester scene with sets at the Frog & Bucket often followed by an all nighter at The Hacienda!

Martin has established himself as one of the UK’s most popular and in-demand comedians. Martin has performed successfully at events of all description; from the Hammersmith Apollo to base camp at Everest\, from Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour to a show for the inmates of an Italian prison! \n“The UK comedy circuit would not be the same without him” Frankie Boyle  \n“Wore us out with laughter” Scotsman “Deadly eejitness” Herald \nBrennan Reece is fresh back from supporting Joe Lycett on his Australian tour.

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

Danny’s as sharp as a tack. \nCrowd work is just one of Mcloughlin’s skills though\, his material is highly distinctive and often falls back onto his twin obsessions with chocolate bars and all things Disney. He has even been known to mine maniacal laughter from simply eating a trifle on stage. ( This was even funnier for us the night it had gone off. ) \nAs well as Alexander’s he regularly performs at The Comedy Store\, The Glee and Manford clubs\, various music festivals and been regular MC for the coveted Edinburgh Comedy Awards Gala. Both Micky Flanagan and Sean Lock have asked him to support them on tour\, so he did! \nHis Damn Daniel podcast has won him a new legion of fans which have made his 2022 UK tour ‘More Fire’ possible\, although Danny claims it’s just so he can get a dressing room to himself. \n‘Innate comic timing\, insightful digressions and ability to think on his feet puts him alongside the most talented and genuinely funny comedians!’ Three Weeks \n‘He can recite an advertising jingle and still get plenty of laughs.’ Chortle \nCircus performer\, clown\, comedy historian and\, of course\, stand up comedian; Andre Vincent has many strings to his bow. So many he’s going to need a bigger bow…. \nBorn in a Woolworth’s department store Andre has since appeared in the oddest of places including a bullring in Columbia\, a Nova Scotian baseball stadium and Vietnamese refugee camps in the South China Sea! \nThis multi talented performer is equally at home improvising\, riffing off the crowd or unleashing one of his many scalpel-sharp one liners and is a must see for all those who love laughing till it hurts. \nAndre’s many claims to fame include having opened for the legend that was Bob Hope as well as teaching Cliff Richard to ride a unicycle! \n“One of the best” The Times   “Thought-provoking originality and biting humour” The Scotsman \n“Blokeish jollity with welcome shots of rage and giggling incomprehension” Metro  “Ferociously funny” Sunday Times \nAccording to Molly McGuiness’s Instagram she’s ‘a comedian\, a writer\, a cow\, a gossip and a slapper’ but\, having reached the finals of last year’s BBC New Comedy Awards\, it’s fair to assume she’s a little bit more than that. We like what we’ve seen so afr and we think you will too. \nAnd who better to hold it all together 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. He’s also written and performed in three of his own Radio 4 series alongside Johnny Vegas\, Lee Mack and the late\, great Sean Lock.\n \nThe comedians you see at George’s Comedy Club are booked by Comedy In A Van

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.

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?  \n  This natural comedian\, 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. 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. \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! \nWhen not making people laugh like drains Harry writes\, acts and films short sketches and documentaries.  \n   “Audience in stitches with gags” Bedfordshire News \nSome people simply have a natural ability for what they do and that certainly seems to be the case with Blackburn’s former civil servant Tez Ilyas. Within months of first picking up a microphone this former civil servant from Blackburn found himself in the finals of no less than eight comedy competitions\, within a few years he won the BBC New Comedy Award and 2017 will see him embark on his first national tour! \nWithin three years he had written his first hour long show – TEZ Talks.

SUMMARY:George's Comedy Club\, Blackburn
DESCRIPTION:Duncan Oakley\, Paul Pirie\, Tal Davies and MC Jamie Sutherland Scroll down for comedians’ details.  \nDuncan Oakley’s musicianship is enough to impress event the most cynical of crowds but\, once combined with his stand up comedy\, he’s in a league of his own. Expect silliness\, surrealism\, surprises\, big\, big laughs and rocking tunes from British comedy’s best loved axeman. \n“Pure brilliance” Yorkshire Evening Post \nOnce famously described as “Spewing out one-liners like he had just scoffed a dodgy prawn” by the Daily Record\, Aberdonian 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 \nBy comparison\, Tal Davies is very much the new kid on the block but she definitely won’t look out of place amongst even the most seasoned of pros.  Tal’s views on personal hygiene and newborn babies are\, at best\, unconventional but you will soon be bathed in waves of laughter by this hilarious Brummie. \n2021 Midlands Comedy Awards. Best Breakthrough Act \nLiverpool’s Jamie Sutherland left the crazy\, crazy world of being a financial adviser. Like some sort of comedic Swiss Army knife\, Jamie utilises gags\, tales\, and observations to win over the crowd and\,  should you prefer a good old fashioned gag\, he has plenty of those up his well tailored sleeve too.  If you have ever been treated to corporate hospitality at an Everton FC home game then it was Jamie who kept you entertained. \nActs subject to change. 18+ Proper swearing. Fully seated. We want everyone to have a great night at our shows. Please respect those sat around you by putting your mobile on silent and not talking when acts are on stage. Thanks! Sorry\, but we can only refund or reallocate if the show is cancelled. \nGeorge’s Comedy Club is booked by Comedy In A Van
