A night of world class comedy is descending upon the pretty little town of Ripponden, and features some of the biggest names on the circuit.
Headlining the show is the brilliant Carl Hutchinson. Known as "the comedy catalyst for a great night out," Carl is a sell-out theatre act and veteran tour support for Chris Ramsey. You've seen him on shows like The Stand-Up Sketch Show and The One Show.
Joining him is the internationally acclaimed Shazia Mirza. A global headline act, Shazia is known for her biting, deadpan observations that "guarantee laughter" (The New York Times). Her extensive TV credits include QI, Have I Got News For You, and Would I Lie to You.
The lineup also features the uniquely hilarious Tom Little, a Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year winner and Edinburgh Festival award nominee, and the inventive Ethan Formstone.
Keeping the show on track is your compere for the evening, the superb Anthony J. Brown, described by Reece Shearsmith as "a truly unique performer."

Anthony J Brown
Clad in a sartorially edifying manner, like a dapper and dandy funeral director, Anthony cuts a unique on-stage presence with humour blacker than a raven that's slammed it's claw in a coffin lid. And not the merest hint of profanity. 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. Jongleurs / Metro Stand And Deliver Award winner and former BBC New Comedy Award Runner-up, he is a regular contributor to Radio 2's The Arthur Smith Lectures. As seen on The Stand Up Show and Phoenix Nights. 'Dark quips and relentlessly witty audience-goading ad-libbing from a compelling host' (City Life) 'Hilarious ad-libs and wicked one-liners from an infectiously funny performer (The List).
