SUMMARY:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club: Brennan Reece\, Louise Leigh\, El Purnell & Dave Twentyman
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly comedy night from Hilarity Bites Comedy Club with live standup comedians Brennan Reece\, Louise Leigh\, El Purnell\, and host Dave Twentyman \n\n▪️ Brennan Reece\n \nBest Newcomer (nominee)\, Edinburgh Comedy Festival 2016\nEnglish Comedian of the Year 2015\nBest Show (nominee)\, Fringe World Australia \nAs 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. \nBrennan 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). \n“A powerfully entertaining\, unstoppable force” – Chortle\n“A teenage Alan Bennett” – The Skinny \n\n▪️ Louise Leigh \nAt 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. \nSince 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. \n“A naturally funny woman” – ★★★★ – Chortle \n\n▪️ El Purnell \nEl 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. \n“That was staggeringly original” – Adam Bloom \n\n▪️ David Twentyman \nAffable\, 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? \n“Thoroughly impressed\, best I’ve seen in ages. Great warmth and style” – Dave Spikey \n\nPlease Note: Line-ups are subject to change in extreme\, and unavoidable\, circumstances.\nShow may contain strong language and adult themes. \n\nTickets: £12\nDoors From 7.00PM\nShow Starts: 8.00PM (Approximately)\n18+ Only\nUnreserved Seating\nBefore attending please read our Covid-19 Disclaimer and check out our Venue Info Page\n\n\nHow To Buy Your Ticket\n\nBuy Online\, using the box below\nVisit The Forum Reception \nCall us on: 01325 363135\nPlease note our reception and phone line are not always manned especially at busy events\, please see our Opening Hours & Venue Info for more info.\n\nA non-refundable 50p booking fee is added to each ticket when buying online\nOn the door ticket sales are subject to availability and not guaranteed\nTickets also available from Hilarity Bites

SUMMARY:The Fire Doors (Tribute to The Doors)
DESCRIPTION:The Fire Doors faithfully bring to life the music of Jim Morrison\, Robby Krieger\, Ray Manzarek and John Densmore; a celebration of The Doors’ six classic albums\, from the brooding psychedelia of the self-titled debut to the bluesy howl of L.A. Woman. The Fire Doors embrace every aspect of this uniquely fascinating band – poetry\, mysticism\, flamenco and jazz all wrapped up as hard-hitting rock\, but with the pop smarts that led to chart-topping singles such as Light My Fire\, Hello\, I Love You and Touch Me. \nThe Fire Doors sees four mainstays of the North East’s music scene (Peter Brewis\, David Brewis and Andrew Moore of Field Music and David Hyde from The Futureheads) coming together to share their first musical love. Their mission now is to help keep the music of The Doors alive. \nThe band are a genuine force and pull the Doors’ hits off with clout and conviction. The result achieves that magic combination of being so tight they almost sound loose.” Daniel Dylan Wray\, The Guardian \n“They’re called Fire Doors. If you see footage of them\, they’re incredible. This band are incredible musicians.” Richard Osman\, The Rest Is Entertainment  \n\n\nTickets £14.00 advance\nDoors From: 7:30PM\n Show Starts 8:30PM (Approximately)\n16+ (Under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult)\nStanding event \nBefore attending please read our Covid-19 Disclaimer and check out our Venue Info Page\n\n\n How To Buy Your Ticket\n\nBuy Online\, using the box below\nVisit The Forum Reception \nCall us on: 01325 363135\nPlease note our reception and phone line are not always manned especially at busy events\, please see our Opening Hours & Venue Info for more info.\n\nA non-refundable 50p booking fee is added to each ticket when buying online.
