Ropery Hall News

Join us for an evening of top flight stand-up comedy. As ever, a lovely Barnstormers Comedy MC will be on hand to introduce three more excellent acts from the UK Comedy Circuit and beyond.

 Tonight, they are: the delightfully acerbic storyteller Mark Maier, ‘It’s high time, someone gave him a show of his own’ – The Guardian; the swaggering Northern charmer that is Danny Deegan, ‘Deegan has a mature confidence in his abilities’ – Chortle; and one man musical whirlwind Duncan Oakley, ‘Leaping between stupidity and pure brilliance!’ – Yorkshire Evening Post.

Why not come along and witness the chance to see a star of the future?

Multi- Award-winning, stand-up comedian and Hull local, Jack Gleadow, is one of the most unique performers on the UK comedy circuit today. He takes his inspiration from the golden era of variety; Jack is the One-Man Stand-Up Variety Show with the use of sounds, stories, jokes and a scooter!

A Christmas spectacular featuring: from the Mash Report, Steve N Allen, ‘A performer with masses of talent’ – Fringe Review; excellent Mancunian anecdotalist Tony Burgess, ‘Wish he could have talked all night: side-splitting stuff!’ – Metro; and excellent Kiwi comic Matt Stellingwerf, “Matt utterly stole the show on Saturday! He’s an outstanding act” Comedy Cafe, London

RBM Presents Josh Berry & Rafe Hubris

Josh Berry: Who does he think he is?

Josh Berry will mock people who went to slightly more prestigious private schools than him and whinge about his career for the best part of forty minutes. Josh will also probably do some impressions in this time even though he pretends to be artistically above all that stuff now. 

‘Josh Berry? Fair play man, fair play’, James Acaster. 

‘Highly amusing’, Gyles Brandreth. 

‘Absolutely superb’, Jon Culshaw. 

‘Truly excellent work’, Omid Djalili. 

‘A remarkable new talent’, Rob Brydon. 

Rafe Hubris: In Auditorium cum Hubris

Rafe Hubris (BA, OXON) is, by his own admission, ‘the most promising 25 year old special advisor (SPAD) to the Conservative party and definitely the most classic’. Watch this supremely confident Eton and Oxford alumnus tell the story of the pandemic which he helped the government organise ‘vary vary wall’, all whilst ‘un peu coké’. The show will be divided between Rafe’s ‘absolutely classic’ anecdotes about his time in government and his answers to your submitted questions. Rafe has also promised to secure all those who buy a ticket with a tasty PPE contract (PPE is incidentally what Rafe studied at Oxford University when he was a student there getting a degree from Oxford). 

‘Enjoyable’, Dominic Maxwell, The Times. 

‘Brilliant’, Owen Jones.
