About this event

A night of stand-up with Angelos Epithemiou, Paul Tonkinson and Hayley Ellis. Angelos Epithemiou is the award-winning burger van owner, plastic-bag enthusiast and accidental celebrity created by comedian and actor Dan Renton Skinner. Catapulted to fame on BBC cult classic Shooting Stars, Angelos graduated from team member to official scorekeeper, confusing viewers and delighting comedy fans in equal measure. He won Best Comedy Breakthrough Artist at the British Comedy Awards in 2011 and later starred in his own Channel 4 series, The Angelos Epithemiou Show. Other appearances include Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Come Dine With Me, Pointless Celebrities and Sunday Brunch. Expect low-budget glamour, high-grade nonsense and unsolicited wisdom. Paul Tonkinson is one of the UK’s most accomplished stand-up comedians, renowned for his infectious energy, razor-sharp observations and brilliantly physical style. A double Time Out Comedy Award winner, he claimed New Act of the Year in 1992 and Stand-Up Comic of the Year in 1997. Paul first burst onto national television as a presenter on The Sunday Show before becoming a familiar face on Channel 4’s The Big Breakfast. His many TV credits include Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Live at the Comedy Store, The World Stands Up and numerous BBC, ITV and Channel 4 appearances. A marathon runner and master storyteller, Paul remains one of Britain’s finest live performers. Hayley Ellis is an award-winning stand-up comedian, writer and compère whose sharp wit, relatable storytelling and gloriously self-deprecating humour have made her one of the UK’s most sought-after comedy acts. A winner of Best Show and Best MC at the North West Comedy Awards, and winner of Best MC at the Comics Comic Awards, she was also nominated for Best MC at the Chortle Awards 2025. Hayley has written for Russell Howard’s Good News and BBC Radio 4’s Newsjack, appeared on MTV and Virgin TV, and has supported comedy giants including Sarah Millican, Jason Manford, John Bishop and Russell Kane. Micky P Kerr is an award-nominated musical comedian, writer and performer from Leeds whose blend of sharp observational humour, catchy songs and self-deprecating storytelling has made him a favourite on the UK comedy circuit. He shot to national prominence as a finalist on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent in 2018, winning his live semi-final and earning praise from Simon Cowell. Micky was runner-up in the prestigious Musical Comedy Awards and has been nominated for Best MC at the Yorkshire Comedy Awards. Equally at home in comedy clubs, theatres and festivals, Micky delivers hilarious, heartfelt comedy that audiences instantly relate to.
