Having established themselves as one of the North East’s premier purveyors of all side-splitting delights since their humble beginnings in 2007, Hilarity Bites Comedy Club have made it their mission to ensure that quality comedy is never in short supply throughout all the corners of the region.
Proof that they’re far from running out of steam in their conquest can be found in the return of Hilarity Bites The Hipp, in partnership with Darlington Hippodrome, which finds them bringing a barrel of laughs to Darlo’s premier venue on Thursday 24th November.
Headlining is the legendary Reginald D. Hunter, who hardly needs any introduction given his almost ubiquitous presence on the who’s-who of comedy panel shows within the last twenty years, with his signature style of brutal and honest wit. Joining Reg is Ivan Brackenbury, the hapless hospital radio DJ and creation of Tom Binns, the creator, star and writer of the cult BBC series Hospital People; Nina Gilligan, who has been going from strength to strength since winning the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year Award in 2021; and Brennan Reece, Live at the Apollo alumni, fresh from supporting Joe Lycett his huge UK arena tour! Get ready for the stitches!
Hilarity Bites The Hipp takes place at Darlington Hippodrome on Thursday 24th November.
