Live From The Town Hall - June 2025

We have been trying to bring Troy Hawke, of the Greeters' Guild, to Dewsbury for over two years and we've finally managed it! You may know Troy from Live at the Apollo, or his many viral online videos greeting consumers as they enter Paundland, B&Q and Primark, or that time he called Man City's Erling Haaland a “Tremendous Nordic Meat Shield” and confused Jack Grealish by telling him he had a fabulouslty symetrical face. 

This show will be epic, and if you play your cards right, you might even get a greeting from Troy in the foyer after the show.

We're also bringing back the mighty Halls of Ridiculous for their second Dewsbury Town Hall performance of their super improvisational comedy. THE HALLS OF RIDICULOUS 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'. Riding high on this success, they went on to sell out shows at the 2022, 2023, & 2024 Leicester Comedy Festival.

Their comedic prowess was recognised in 2023 when 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'.

With support from Gag  N Bone Man regular Jonny Brook, and hosted, as ever, by our very own Graeme Rayner.
