Meet the Host

We’re thrilled to have the charismatic and witty Colin Manford as our host for the evening.

Prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of laughter as we showcase the incredible talents of three top-notch comedians:

Chris Brooker

Chris is returning to our stage after having us in stitches last year with his unique mix of comedy and improvisation meaning you will never see the same routine twice! After a decade on the UK comedy circuit Chris has forged a fine reputation for himself, dubbed comedy’s ginger Viking by a promoter, he really is a larger than life character! Taking his brand of comedy to the US and Canada, his most recent solo show ‘Unstoppable’ had glowing reports on both sides of the Atlantic. Immensely likeable, Chris will win over any crowd and drag them along for the ride.

Sully O Sullivan 

Having had Skipton doubled up in laughter last year Sully is back at Skipton Town Hall with his wonderfully witty blast of hilarity again! First landing on TV screens in New Zealand’s original stand-up series ‘Pulp Comedy’, globe trotting Kiwi Comedian Sully O’Sullivan’s been declared a highlight of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival by The Scotsman, won the International Improvaganza Tournament in Canada, featured on Australian TV’s ‘The Comedy Channel’ and in 2021 sold out every single night of his 22 date Edinburgh Fringe run. Renowned as an act capable of performing in any room and to any audience, Sully has also built up a reputation as one of the most reliable and quick witted comperes on the circuit. Sully offers a crucial mix of cynicism, intelligence and menace with some killer punchlines thrown in!

Dan Antopolski

After adventures elsewhere Dan is doing stand up again, for love and of course for money! Dan Antopolski’s surreal won him the BBC New Comedy Award in 1998 as well as Perrier Award nomination in 2001. Dan has performed at the usual comedy clubs as well as international comedy festivals, with appearances at Montreal, Melbourne and New York. And as an actor, Dan has starred in the BBC Two sci-fi spoof Hyperdrive as technical officer Jeffers, appeared in the Da Vinci Code movie as Jesus and recently shot a role in the feature film Paddington 2. Get ready for spectacular displays of verbal pyrotechnics, edgy material and some of the best gags you have ever heard.

Whether you’re a comedy aficionado or just looking for a night of laughter and fun, our monthly comedy event is the place to be. Get ready for an unforgettable evening of laughter, wit, and pure comedic genius. We can’t wait to see you there!

The Hub bar will be open from 7pm with regular drinks intervals throughout the show.
