This months HEADLINE ACT is  ...

PAUL TONKINSON

A sensational live performer, Yorkshire man, marathon runner and former (double award-winning) Time Out Comedian of the Year, Paul Tonkinson has long upheld his esteemed reputation as one of the finest stand-ups the UK has to offer. With a unique and distinctive style, Tonkinson is noted for his effervescent physicality and skillful impressions, which bring alive exuberant, tender comic reflections on love, family and the day-to-day idiosyncrasies of 21st century living. A plethora of first class material, combined with tremendous charm and irrepressible, infectious energy make for quite a formidable talent.

After many years of storming the circuit, and much badgering from fellow professionals, he took to the road in 2012 with his eagerly anticipated debut tour: Paul Tonkinson; Fancy Man. The tour took in 50 dates across the UK, and gave audiences the opportunity to experience the full Tonkinson phenomena in all it’s glory.

Following his solo tour, he was given the opportunity to play to a wider audience, joining the mighty Michael McIntyre as a special guest on live shows around the UK. In 2013 he had the honour of joining Michael as a special guest on his global arena tour; playing to millions across the globe, as far and wide as Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong. Paul joined Michael again last year, as special guest on the Happy & Glorious Tour; playing to sold-out crowds in arenas across the UK.

On TV, he’s most recently performed on BBC One’s Michael Mcintyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Comedy Central’s The Comedy Store and The World Stands-up. He was recently a contestant on Ch. 4`s hit show Celebrity Come Dine With Me, proving he’s not just a dazzling stand-up talent, but a whizz in the kitchen, scooping first place to win the cash prize for charity. Back in the day, when he was a mere whippersnapper he had a stint presenting Ch. 4’s The Big Breakfast and he has also presented radio shows on XFM in London and Manchester. He has just completed a stint as a Programme Associate on BBC One’s Michael Mcintyre Chat Show.

His first love remains stand-up, and Tonkinson remains in great demand in the UK and across the globe, performing at all the major international comedy festivals including the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs festival where he hosted the esteemed Britcom Gala. Confirming his status as an invincible and highly versatile performer, he is also a regular entertainer for the UK Armed Forces, and has performed in Afghanistan and Iraq; playing to 2,500 troops in 45 degree heat in the middle of the desert.

 


“HILARIOUS; NOBODY MAKES ME LAUGH LIKE PAUL TONKINSON. SIMPLY ONE OF THE GREATEST COMICS AROUND. GO SEE HIM!”


Michael McIntyre



“EXCELLENT…EXTREMELY TALENTED…BRILLIANT”


Time Out


 

Our Opening Act is ...

HOWARD ANSTOCK

After only starting his comedy career in 2017, it was not long before Howard won his first accolade as the Cheshire Cat Comedy New Act 2018, closely followed by being awarded the Kung-fu Pug Comedy New Act 2019.

Howard was then a Great Yorkshire Fringe New Act finalist 2019 and World Series semi-finalist in 2019.

With deeply personal material, that mixes anecdotes and experiences, Howard has been described as “an acidic Victoria Wood”, which is high praise indeed.

From being homeless to being humorous….Howard is at the start of an exciting comedy journey!

Definitely one to watch out for….he is fast becoming a regular on the UK comedy circuit…very funny!!

 

Middle Act(s) 

KATE ROBB
Kate was a Funny Women Awards Semi-Finalist just a few months after her first gig. With relatable content and sharp writing, the jokes come quickly. She has been described as ‘Talented and going places’ (Notts Comedy Review) and ‘Definitely one to watch’ (Gag n Bone Man Comedy)

 

Our Host for the night is 

JAMES KILVINGTON

Very popular on the UK comedy circuit, the “every-day” man, James Kilvington has over 10 million recent views from online content and featured in every major newspaper for his comedy performances.  Used to playing in large auditoriums, he is also just as at home in small rowdy crowded rooms or intimate comedy clubs. He’s also done UK tour support for some big names on the UK circuit including Clinton Baptiste.
