Bradford Comedy Club are back with a belting line up for you!

Joe McTernon – Headline

With almost 40 million online streams Joe McTernan is a Edinburgh based comedian and has toured with Tom Stade and Steve Hughes (2021). His energetic and personal style has gained him bookings at many gigs across Scotland.

Joe has performed on BBC Scotland’s Television show ‘The Comedy Underground’, starred and co wrote (Scottish Comedy Award winning) the online sitcom M.U.F.F alongside Daniel Sloss, and has also written and performed in content for BBC Short Stuff.

 

Anthony J Brown – Opener

Clad in a sartorially edifying bespoke manner, like a dapper and dandy funeral director, Anthony cuts a unique on-stage presence with humour blacker than a raven that has slammed it’s claw in a coffin lid.

Eschewing the well trodden terrain of the one-liner witticism, Mr Brown’s penchant is for 4, 5, 6 and 7-liners drenched in evocative imagery and laced with comedic red herrings. And not the merest hint of profanity.

He constantly engages the assembled throng with a cryogenic stare whilst slowly and very gently caressing the microphone stand with well manicured talons.

To be quite so casually tactile with an inanimate object in full public view takes a certain confidence, especially whilst punctuating his bizarre and often hilariously misanthropic anecdotes with measured pauses that you could reverse a Heavy Goods Vehicle through.

The overall effect is both perversely hypnotic and wholly original, leaving the audience zealously hanging on to every syllable like turncoat lemmings on a rockface.

He appears at all the major UK venues.

Jongleurs/Metro ‘Stand & Deliver’ Comedy Award Winner and former BBC New Comedy Award Runner-Up.

Appeared on Channel 4′s “Phoenix Nights”, ITV’s “Attitude” and “Spanking New” on BBC7.

 

Thomas Henry – Middle

Thomas has been entertaining crowds in London and New York with his wry observations and cheeky charm. Official selection for the New York Comedy Festival and winner of Broadway Comedy ‘New Faces’, he’s one to watch on the UK comedy scene.

 

Chris Lumb – MC

Our resident MC since day one and also a firm favourite on the Comedy Improv circuit performing with The Discount Comedy Checkout.

!!TRIPLE HEADLINER SHOW!!

Kevin Finn is a multi-talented comedian known for his high-energy performances. Born and raised in Ontario, Canada. His charm attracts audiences from all over the globe through his captivating story telling, impeccable dialects, and precise regional accents. Growing up with immigrant parents from England and Ireland, Kevin has sold out theatres across Ontario and has amassed a large and loyal online following.

His relatability and cheeky comedic timing create a perfect storm guaranteed to leave every audience wanting more.

 

Roland Gent – After completing a Foundation Course in Performing Arts at Chesterfield College Roland Gent started a career in radio, as a broadcast assistant on BBC GMR Talk and then Radio One. He even presented a breakfast show on Asian Sound Radio under the name Rakish.

He started performing stand-up in 1997, making his Edinburgh Festival debut at The Great Big Comedy Picnic composite stand-up show in 2003.

The following year, he was a finalist in both the City Life North West Comedian of the Year and the Holsten Pils/FHM Comedian of the Year and now boasts of performing hundreds of gigs a year, mainly in the North-West.

 

Sean Percival was born and raised in Dudley. When he left school he became a Fabricator/Welder, which meant early mornings, that didn’t fit in with his late night lifestyle. At this point, Sean had no interest in comedy whatsoever.

He didn’t own a single comedy DVD and he’d never been to a comedy club, but when Steve (the lorry driver at the factory where he worked, who was also a performance poet and ran creative writing workshops) told him that he was funny and that if he wrote down some of the things he said at work he could possibly be a comedian, Sean decided to give it a go.

Steve took Sean to a comedy club. Sean then wrote some stuff and Steve helped him edit it. Sean started doing open mic spots and a couple of years later he gave up work and became a comedian.

Since then Sean has had a fantastic time performing all over the world. It’s a great way to make a living.

!!TRIPLE HEADLINER SHOW!!

Kevin Daniel – Originally from Glasgow, he has spent his working life in the corporate world of low finance and recently decided to venture into the realms of stand up comedy. Despite only starting to perform comedy in June of 2019, Kevin has already been nominated for Best Newcomer at the Midlands Comedy Awards and a finalists in numerous New Comedian Competitions (he’s yet to actually win one though).

His warm and honest storytelling style deals with the daily trials and tribulations of a man trying to survive life unscathed. You can keep up with and follow his comedy journey using the links below

“Kevin is probably one of the hottest properties on the Midlands circuit right now. Having started only a few years ago he’s stormed his way onto the upper echelons of the circuit with his outrageous storytelling techniques that will leave you wanting more” Doorstep Comedy (Adam O’Reardon)

“I’d heard great things about Kevin before I booked him and he didn’t disappoint. A hilarious new act with all the confidence and assurance of an act with years of experience. A great fit for any line up” Giggleshack (Colin Havey)

 

Pete Selwood – A hotly tipped up and coming comedian on the circuit, Yorkshire born-and-bred comedian Pete Selwood has quickly risen through the comedy ranks with his excellent storytelling style, that mixes hilarious observational material with killer punchlines.

In his short time on the comedy scene he has already won the Liverpool Echo New Comedian Of The Year 2016, Hot Water New Comedian Of The Year 2016 and the Laurence Batley New Yorkshire Comedian Of The Year 2017.

He was also a finalist in Hilarity Bites in both 2016 and 2017.

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, Pete 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.

 

Julien Lee – The range of one-liners Lee shoots out range from intelligent to well crafted to just plain daft. However, wherever they land on that spectrum, they are funny. Having featured in the BBC New Comedy Awards in 2015 and Radio 4’s Ross Noble’s Newcastle in 2016 he then went on to be runner-up in Leicester Comedy Festival’s UK Pun Championships in 2017 & 2018.  In 2018 he took his first solo show, Jokebox, to Edinburgh.  During Lockdown he published his first joke book, also called Jokebox, which has sold well.
