Monday 8th October


October’s autumnal instalment at the Red Deer brings gale-force wit with a chance of sing-alongs, and as usual it’ll be raining cake and cookies. Thankfully that’s a meteorological metaphor and baked goods will only land on you if you’re a baddie. Otherwise you can just scoff them before giggling at the following:

Silky

One of the finest comedians you may not have heard of, the Liverpudlian-in-exile made it to the finals of the BBC New Comedy Award alongside Daniel Kitson, Lee Mack and Julian Barratt on his fourth gig and has been a full time comedian for half his life. Unsurprisingly, he’s a bit of a natural who combines his considerable musical talent with idiosyncratic banter and quick-witted charm, and is capable of filling a room with so much warmth and energy that he could probably replace fossil fuel.

‘funny and clever’ – Tim Minchin

‘One of the comedy circuit’s most popular headliners… on the cusp of superstardom’ – Yorkshire Life

‘Among the best of the circuit… born funny’ – City Life

‘a very, very funny fella… just brilliant’ – John Bishop

‘One of the nicest comics on the circuit, Silky makes rooms rock. More addictive than crack’ – Leeds Guide

‘a very philosophical type, and an annoyingly good guitar player’ – Mitch Benn

Graham Lee

A Leodensian comedian who has taken great care to hone his craft and produce comedy that satisfies both his intellect and his sense of humour, Lee balances intriguing material with an assured, deliberative performance which makes him one of the most compelling up-and-coming acts in the the North.

‘Very good, very intelligent – has the best joke on the comedy circuit’ – Matthew Osborn

‘His delivery belies a deceptively sharp comic mind, and his set incorporates satirical swipes, intelligent insight and daft asides to build an impressive head of steam’ – Kill for a Seat Comedy

‘Intelligent contempt at modern life from an affable, yet acidic gagsmith’ – 1331 Comedy

‘Twisted Yorkshire grit coupled with immediate onstage assurance and finely honed observational mirth’ – Stagefright Comedy
