About this Event
GET READY for a fantastic night of comedy in a venue so secret it's called The Hidden Ivy.
This Saturday 8th June, Garden Gigs have put together a line up to keep you laughing for weeks and teamed up with The Hidden Ivy to create a night worth talking about - and most definitely to return to!
With a licensed bar, you will be able to keep topped up on your bubbly belly laughs throughout the night as you walk into an outdoor, undercover and heated (if necessary!) secret garden, to take your seats and welcome to the stage...
THE LINE UP -
Headliner: Emmanuel Sonubi
EDINBURGH COMEDY AWARD NOMINEE: BEST NEWCOMER 2022 NEXT UP COMEDY AWARD: BEST SHOW NOMINEE 2022 CHORTLE AWARD NOMINEE: BEST CLUB COMIC 2023
Sonubi has only been on the comedy circuit for what feels like "five minutes" and he's already garnering himself a reputation as the "one to watch"! Having gone from open spot to closing BBC's "Live at the Apollo" in an incredibly short space of time, you will be seeing big things from this big man in the coming few years.
"One of my favourite discoveries of 2019 was Emmanuel Sonubi. Hilarious, warm and unique. If you don't see him now for a tenner, you won't be able to smugly tell your mates about it when they're paying £50 for a crap seat at the O2!" - Jason Manford
Opening Act: Jon Pearson
Crowned Best MC in the Midlands in 2022, Jon is undoubtedly a circuit favourite!
His crowd work is second to none, as shown by his Spotify Album released by Comedy Dynamics.
Jon’s career has even taken him overseas with performances in Spain, Norway and even as far away as Wigan. Jon is also a familiar face on at comedy festivals across the UK having taken three solo shows to the Leicester, Nottingham & Edinburgh festivals with the highlight of the all coming in the form of a sold out show at his home town Melton Theatre in Melton Mowbray.
Jon has also provided tour support for Darren Harriot on his UK 2018/2019 tour and Lucy Porter on her UK 2017 tour. Jon’s laid back storytelling has audiences hanging on his every word. With tales based around his own life experiences, his anecdotes are relatable and certain to have people in hysterics.
"One of the best MCs in the business" Darren Harriot
Middle Act: Dawn Bailey
An original performer, Dawn won the XS Manchester Radio Comedian of the Year in 2016, which led to her presenting a show on the station.
A likeable and affable nature, Dawn is a regular on the UK comedy circuit and performs for some of the most reputable promoters in the Country.
Dawn’s honesty regarding life and love are raw, straight to the point and comes with a no-holds-barred delivery. She is a merry maker and definitely loves to have a damn good chuckle
"Pin sharp anecdotes from a life juggling a career, kids, attending weekly slimming club meetings and the joys of involuntary flatulence… she’s a very funny lady”- The BBCD
The MC: Stevie Gray
A cheeky and very likeable comedian, Stevie Gray's stage act fuses jokes, music, news stories and audience participation to create an up-tempo energy in any room. The recent addition of a guitar on stage has added an extra-dimension to Stevie's act and made him one of the hottest new acts on the UK comedy circuit.
