Darlington's Dedicated Live Music Venue & Studios
Our monthly comedy night from Hilarity Bites Comedy Club with live standup comedians Brennan Reece, Louise Leigh, El Purnell, and host Dave Twentyman
▪️ Brennan Reece
Best Newcomer (nominee), Edinburgh Comedy Festival 2016
English Comedian of the Year 2015
Best Show (nominee), Fringe World Australia
As seen on Live At The Apollo (BBC), Celeb Coach Trip (E4), and Roast Battle (Comedy Central), and supporting Joe Lycett on his 2022 UK Arena tour.
Brennan is a multi award winning working class wordsmith (Edinburgh Best Newcomer Nominee and English Comedian Of The Year Winner). A stand-up, a storyteller, and self confessed mummy’s boy, his boyish cheeks recently cropped up on Survival Of The Fittest (ITV), The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV) Live At The Comedy Store (Comedy Central) and racking up over 6 million YouTube hits for his stint on Top Gear (BBC).
“A powerfully entertaining, unstoppable force” – Chortle
“A teenage Alan Bennett” – The Skinny
▪️ Louise Leigh
At the age of 37, Louise realised she’d never ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair. So she waited another 5 or 6 years and took up stand up comedy instead.
Since then, Louise has performed two well-received runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and is working for some of the biggest comedy clubs in the UK.
“A naturally funny woman” – ★★★★ – Chortle
▪️ El Purnell
El Purnell is a unique whirlwind of a crowd-pleasing comedy act. His energy and gags per minute are off the scale delivering many belly laughs and so much fun for the audience. He has a unique and clever spin delivering his set in Spanish with a springle of English. Audiences LOVE the interaction, jokes, and actual realisation they can understand him without speaking his mother tongue.
“That was staggeringly original” – Adam Bloom
▪️ David Twentyman
Affable, quick-witted banter merchant, Dave Twentyman survived a childhood in St Helens by evolving rapid, startlingly-bright patter and a smile that he somehow stole from Barry Manilow. This is a man who could teach Teflon a trick-or-two but who remains vastly more fun than your average frying-pan. What higher praise can there be?
“Thoroughly impressed, best I’ve seen in ages. Great warmth and style” – Dave Spikey
