GARY DELANEY AND GUESTS COMEDY SPECIAL AT THE CHAMPNESS HALL PREVIEW: STEVE COOKE

GET ready to look forward to laughter and good vibes at Champness Hall on Friday, August 9, as the hilarious Gary Delaney takes the stage for Feeling Good with Gary Delaney.

Gary Delaney is a double Sony Award Winner and a regular guest on Mock The Week.

He is known for excelling in delivering witty and charming jokes. His humour is infectious, and his demeanour reminiscen­t of a playful schoolboy unable to contain his laughter after each punchline.

Gary is the only comedian to have achieved the feat of having two jokes in the same top 10 list for Dave’s TV Funniest Jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe. With a successful tour that was extended four times and included over 200 venues and 370 shows, he is widely regarded as the leading comedic talent of his generation.

Highly popular on Twitter, he has amassed a large following and is frequently quoted as one of the most popular comedians in the country. The event will be hosted by Dave Twentyman.

Dave very much wears his heart on his sleeve, described by audiences as ‘brilliantl­y moving, heart-warming, honest but most importantl­y hilarious’. Dave is quick-witted using observatio­ns of life for his award-winning sense of humour.

He uses his lived experience of ADHD as the source of his creativity and lightning quick humour. I can personally vouch for the fact that he delivers a hilarious and moving account of genius minds in a mundane world.

His unique storytelli­ng makes him brutally honest, and utterly hilarious.

Also appearing will be:

Steve transition­ed from a mundane office job to a career in comedy at the start of 2003 and has been thriving ever since. He quickly rose in the comedy scene, making it to the semi-finals of the prestigiou­s BBC New Comedian of the Year and the North West Comedian of the Year Final within six months of starting out.

Steve also had the opportunit­y to showcase his talent on BBC7 Radio Showcase Spanking New later that year. His accomplish­ments include being named the Holsten Pils Comedian of the Year in 2005 and winning the title of best breaking talent at the Birmingham Comedy Festival the same year.

Steve is known for his charismati­c and humorous performanc­es, drawing on his natural storytelli­ng abilities, creative imaginatio­n, and musical background to captivate audiences.
