JUSTIN Moorhouse, Jason Cook and Gordon Southern make up tonight and tomorrow's triple bill for the Hyena Lounge Comedy Club's residency in The White Rose during the Great Yorkshire Fringe in York.
Hyena Lounge promoter Toby Clouston Jones is presenting line-ups on all three Fridays and Saturdays of the 18-day festival in the spiegeltent in Parliament Street.
Andy Askins, Steve Shanyaski and Jason Cook were in action last Friday; Askins, Rob Rouse and Andre Vincent, last Saturday. David Hadingham, Bethany Black and Vincent will perform next Friday; Stephen K Amos, Hadingham and Vincent, next Saturday.
Gordon Southern
Looking forward to this week's shows, Toby says: "Justin Moorhouse is instantly recognisable to comedy fans as Young Kenny in Phoenix Nights, spending the whole of the second series with his face painted as a tiger.
"His exuberant, larger-than-life personality and cheeky northern charm have built a reputation on the live comedy circuit; he's performed his stand-up on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Live At The Apollo, and he's now hosting the Saturday morning football phone-in show on BBC Radio Five Live."
London comedian Gordon Southern's upbeat and energetic delivery, combined with his observational comedy and quick-witted improvisation, has secured his place on comedy bills all over the world.
Jason Cook
"Gordon is a regular headlining comedian on the UK and International circuit, spending several months every year performing in Australia. Being regarded as a truly international act, he’s worked in many exotic and challenging places, including Afghanistan, the Falkland Islands, Kosovo and Liverpool," says Toby.
"A talented actor and award-winning writer, Southern has written for some of the most memorable comedy shows of the past 20 years. He's always a hugely popular act with the Hyena Lounge audience and his sheer energy and superb material makes his time on stage fly by."
Jason Cook will be the compere, making a rare change from being a headline act himself. "Best known for creating, writing and starring in his BBC2 sitcom Hebburn, alongside his best mate Chris Ramsey and Vic Reeves, he's also performed his stand-up on Russell Howard’s Good News and at clubs and festivals all over the world," says Toby.
Tickets for the 9.30pm shows cost £14 from greatyorkshirefringe.com, on 01904 500600 or on the door from 9pm.
