The Best in Comedy show returns to Maddermarket Theatre in April with an extra special show featuring the wonderful Sara Pascoe, Stephen Bailey, Jacob Hawley & Lily Phillips.
Sara Pascoe decided she wanted to be famous at 14 years old. Since then, she has auditioned for Barrymore, scared Pete Burns and ruined Hugh Grant’s birthday - but look at her now… (please look, she needs you to look. And clap. And laugh. And then clap again).
She wrote and starred in her recent BBC 2 sitcom Out Of Her Mind, and is the celebrated host of BBC 2’s The Great British Sewing Bee, BBC’s Last Woman on Earth, Dave’s Comedians Giving Lectures and Comedy Central’s Guessable.
★★★★ “A comic in her prime” – The Times
-------------
Comedian, presenter, actor and writer, Stephen Bailey is a proud northern, working class, gay man. The multi-award nominated star’s indecorous brand of gossipy humour has singled him out as one of the UK’s most sought-after comedy talents.
Stephen’s credits include co-host on BBC One’s Date or Drop alongside Amanda Holden, Would I Lie to You, Live at the Apollo, The Stand Up Sketch Show, Roast Battle, Celebrity Mastermind and The Apprentice: You’re Fired to name a few…
"A superstar in the making" - British Comedy Guide
--------------
Jacob Hawley has become a critically acclaimed new voice in comedy. He is host of the smash-hit Screen Rot podcast, is a regular on Talk Sport & his TV appearances include The Russell Howard Hour.
★★★★ “A down-to-earth talent who’s got it in spades” – The List
--------------
Lily Phillips is one of the most exciting up and coming voices in comedy in the UK. She is a series regular on The Stand Up Sketch Show and The Stand Up Sketch Show Christmas Special (ITV2), and co-hosts the hugely popular podcast Ghastly Women.
★★★★ “Charming and moderately obscene” – The Scotsman
