Four comedians on the bill as Hilarity Bites Comedy Club returns to Whitby

Headlining the show on Friday September 6 is popular musical comedian Steve Gribbin, who has headlined comedy shows around the world over the past 30-plus years.

Steve’s original and satirical comedy songs combine razor sharp lyrics with tunes that put their foot in the door of your mind and refuse to leave; they are that rarity – comedy songs which are actually funny.

Joining Steve is rapid-fire gag merchant Tony Cowards.

With an arsenal full of one-liners, Tony’s thought of as one of the best joke writers on the UK comedy circuit, and his jokes turn up in all sorts of places, from greetings cards to The Times newspaper.

The show will also feature a newer act performing a shorter set, and the night will be hosted by popular host Carl Jones who has been making audiences laugh up and down the country for over a decade, and is also the host of popular Premier League nostalgia podcast When Football Began Again.

Doors open 7.30pm for an 8pm start

Tickets £12 available from the Coliseum Centre or online from the Hilarity Bites website.
