“Takes post-modern stand-up to a dangerously funny new level” – The Guardian

‘The King of post-modern nonsense” – Telegraph
 

 

Opening Act is another regular headline level comedian PETER BRUSH

A highly distinctive performer and deft writer of finely crafted jokes, Peter Brush unassumingly takes the stage with his slight bespectacled frame and scruffy hair, before consummately conquering it with an arsenal of razor sharp quirky one-liners and peerlessly original routines, all delivered in an amusingly awkward fashion.

Peter performs at all the major clubs across the UK, as well as having done many of it’s biggest festivals, he has also played shows in Switzerland, Norway and Hungary. Formerly a BBC New Comedy Award finalist, he has written for several BBC Radio 4 shows and was the support act for Alexei Sayle’s most recent tour. Other acts he has supported on tour include Jason Manford, Fern Brady, Jonathan Pie, Geoff Norcott, Arthur Smith and Paul Sinha.

 

★★★★½
"Compellingly hilarious.. first-class gag writing… an original and achingly funny voice" - Chorlte

 

"I love Peter Brush, what a comic" - Jason Manford

 

Middle Act is AMIT MISTRY

Amit Mistry is a comedian born and raised in Manchester, to Indian ‘freshie’ parents who moved here from abroad to find a better life. Amit shares highly relatable stories about modern life as a dad and husband, leaving all crowds entertained and amused up and down the country! Amit has opened for circuit powerhouses like Stephen Bailey and Mick Ferry, and was shortlisted for BBC new comedy awards in 2024. An act for all, except his in laws!

 

Host for the night is Shoe Cake Fave CHRIS LUMB

A superb impressionist and a warm, welcoming, friendly host. Chris has appeared on TV shows such as 'Russell Howard's Good News' and 'Britain's Got Talent'

Brilliant show.. full of great stories and laughs. The night was made even better by Troy taking time at the end of the show to come into the bar for a chat and to pose for photos with everyone.

Great night support from local ledgend Fran Garrity then the amazing Troy Hawke the act is not for some but I've seen him before in the same venue few years ago this work in progress show was great and well polished Troy's interaction and rollercoaster of his life stories are great I've knocked 2 stars off the venue as it was very cold when we first arrived the heating was on after around 20 mins you could feel the temp plummet they should have a whip round to get punters to throw in a couple of quid in the hat to go towards the energy bill.The compare Matty Oxleu was a welcome suprise too.
