Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Peter Brush, Pete Selwood & Host Al Stevenson - The Milton Rooms

September's Hilarity Bites Comedy Club brings you:

Peter Brush - a highly distinctive performer and deft writer of finely crafted jokes, Peter Brush unassumingly takes the stage with his slight bespectacled frame and scruffy hair, before consummately conquering it with an arsenal of razor sharp quirky one liners and peerlessly original routines, all delivered in an amusingly awkward fashion.
Peter performs at all the major clubs across the UK, as well as having done many of it's biggest festivals, he has also played shows in Switzerland, Norway and Hungary. Formerly a BBC New Comedy Award finalist, he has written for several BBC Radio 4 shows and was the support act for Alexi Sayle's most recent tour. Other acts he has supported on tour include Jonathan Pie, Jason Manford, Fern Brady, Arthur Smith and Paul Sinha.
'compellingly hilarious.... first class gag writing.... an original and achingly funny voice' Chortle

'He's a great comic' BBC Radio 4 Saturday Review

Pete Selwood
A hotly tipped up and coming comedian on the circuit, Pete Selwood has quickly risen through the comedy ranks with swagger. After winning the Lawrence Batley New Yorkshire Comedian of the Year (quite a mouthful), he has gone from strength to strength, winning comedy competitions and winning over audiences.
The Barnsley born Yorkshireman is an adept storyteller, focussing on tales of Northern life as a perpetually single man in his 20s. Being born with only one hand also gives him a unique view and experience of the world around him, poking fun at having a fairly minor disability in modern Britain.
In keeping with his material about disability, Selwood is also half of a double-act with Britain's Got Talent star Jack Carroll, performing sketches and creating videos about the portrayal of disability within our society.

Replacing Elaine Robertson - Al Stevenson
Al Stevenson is the quick witted, sharp tongued lad of Newcastle!
His charm allows him to tear through audiences with rapid fire, all whilst getting away with it through a cheeky grin.
Although he is newer on the circuit, his talents have already seen him rise to the finals of Beat The Frog World Series, beating hundreds of acts to do so, and to host and headline prestigious venues such as The Stand Comedy Club in Newcastle.
His humour has caught the eye of his fellow comics, leading to him performing support spots for Mark Nelson, Lauren Pattison, Matt Read and event international comic Kevin James Thornton!
'Al Stevenson combines the blunt double-entendres of Julian Clary with the bored, world weariness of Jo Brand' Chortle
'Blisteringly confident and deliriously lurid crowd work' NARC
'Destined to be a stand up comic' Lost Voice Guy
