NEWS: Bethany Black @ The Forum Music Centre

Over fourteen illustrious years, Hilarity Bites have consistently succeeded in bringing some of the biggest and best names in stand-up (including the likes of Russell Kane and Reginald D. Hunter) to venues throughout the region, and their upcoming line-up at Darlington’s Forum on Saturday 2^nd October is no exception. Leading the bill is the legendary Bethany Black, actor, stand-up comedian and trans activist who, in a prolific career, has performed alongside the likes of Alan Carr and Tim Minchin and starred in No Offence, the Cucumber/Banana/Tofu trilogy and Doctor Who, as well as receiving a great deal of acclaim for her debut show Beth Becomes Her (which was nominated for Best Debut at the 2008 Leicester Comedy Festival).

Support comes from Liverpool-hailing comedian Adam Staunton, who has performed with John Bishop and Sarah Millican (alongside performing as part of the Big Value Comedy Show at the Fringe Festival), and the evening will be hosted by Pete Otway, whose razor sharp wit has seen him bag acclaim, win the BBC New Comedy Award and perform as part of Just The Tonic’s prestigious Big Value Showcase.
