Live at the Unity Hall - February 2025

We're bringing the powerhouse king of one liners Gary Delaney to Dewsbury. You may recognise Gary from Live at the Apollow, his regular appearances on Mock The Week, or from his many viral social media videos. He is simpy one of the best touring comedians in the country. Gary is the only comic ever to have got two gags in the same top 10 for Dave’s TV Funniest Jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe.

★★★★ ‘A cavalcade of brilliantly inventive puns’ Guardian

★★★★ ‘More quality jokes in one hour than most comics have in their entire careers…Quite brilliant’ Scotsman

★★★★ ‘A master craftsman’ Times

★★★★ ‘One of Britain’s grandmasters of the one-liner’’ Chortle

Opening the show we have the sublime Halls of Ridiculous, who bring a breath of fresh air to the UK comedy scene, combining lightning-fast improvised comedy with high-octane character sketches. But here's the twist - every bit of hilarity is conjured up on the spot, fueled by the audience's suggestions, ideas, and occasionally, their wonderfully weird imaginations.

In 2022, their Edinburgh Show 'The Halls of Ridiculous' earned a stellar 5-star review from EdFringe Review, hailed as 'a euphoric experience, the best show of the Fringe'. In 2023 they clinched the 'Best Alternative Act' title at The Yorkshire Comedy Awards and secured the Southport Comedy Awards' prestigious 'New Comedian of The Year Award'.

We also have a special guest comedian, and hosting is our very own Graeme Rayner.  "One of the most accomplished MCs I've ever seen. In total command of the audience" - Joe Pasquale
