Darlington's Dedicated Live Music Venue & Studios
Our monthly comedy night from Hilarity Bites Comedy Club with live standup comedians Paul Tonkinson, Clayton Jones, Amy Albright, and host Rick Molland
▪️ Eddy Brimson
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.
“Excellent… extremely talented… brilliant” – Time Out

▪️ Amy Albright
Amy Albright brings vibrant energy and razor-sharp wit to the stage, effortlessly weaving stories that keep audiences hooked from start to finish.
Her humour slices through the noise with a refreshing honesty and a sharp, disarming charm. She might insult you — and make you thank her for it.
Quick-witted, self-assured, and quietly ruthless, Albright is fast becoming a standout presence on the UK circuit.
“His seamless interactions with the crowd demonstrate that he’s a natural-born comedian… appealing to both the young and old, female and male” – Three Weeks
▪️ Rick Molland
Not many Englishmen can cut it as an MC in a Scottish Comedy Club – but that’s exactly what Rick Molland did every weekend of the year for years.
An award winning film maker and former Scottish Comedian of the Year runner-up, having proven his comedy metal in some of the most formidable environments Scotland has to offer, including T in the Park, Rockness, and The Wickerman Festivals, Rick Molland is the former resident compère at Edinburgh’s Monkey Barrel Comedy Club.
