SATURDAY Night Lounge welcomes masters of mirth Russell Hicks, Alex Boardman, Mike Wilkinson and Jonathan Mayor to The Duchess, in Stonebow, York, this weekend.
"Russell Hicks is among the most exciting comedians to have come out of America and he's been branded as one of the 'Top Six Comics To Watch' by Stand Up Talk Magazine in Los Angeles," says Hyena Lounge Comedy Club promoter Toby Clouston-Jones.
"Headlining the student circuit in the United States, Russell regularly takes his solo shows across the country to the biggest universities, and because he's prolific and consistently delivers quality new work, audience members are often compelled to return for two nights in a row. Fast and loose, no two shows are ever the same with his sharp wit perfectly marrying the the pessimism of Jack Dee with the deadpan aggression of Denis Leary."
Boardman opens this weekend's show, rather than headlining as he usually does, and Wilkinson returns to take the middle slot. "As with Alex, the last time Mike played the club he headlined, and with Jonathan Mayor also back to host the show, fresh from supporting Sarah Millican, it’s a cracking bill of four headline quality acts for a Saturday night," reckons Toby.
Tickets for the 8pm show cost £14 on 01904 641413, at hyenalounge.com or on the door from 7pm.
