Win a pair of tickets to Hartlepool's Hot Potato Comedy Club

Hartlepool Town Hall Theatre will once again welcome Hot Potato regular and master of ceremonies Danny McLoughlin and two top comedians.

The show, featuring Ivo Graham and Jeff Innocent, takes place on Saturday, April 28.

Ivo started his stand-up career at the age of just 18 and soon after he became the youngest ever winner of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny award at Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

His crafty, self-aware wit proved a hit with audiences and critics and all three of his solo shows were met with sell-out runs in Edinburgh and London.

It also led to him making several TV appearances on shows including Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week and Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled.

Website The List said: “He shows off some delightful turns of phrase and ingenious flights of fancy as his tales of semi-failure escalate.”

Meanwhile, Jeff Innocent has been described as everything from ‘philosophical geezer’ and ‘cockney philosopher’ to having the ‘body of a nightclub bouncer and the brains of a university boffin’.

He is an actor, stand-up, writer and was crowned Best Club Comedian of 2016.

While Jeff may look like a character straight out of a Cockney gangster film his stand-up and cultural comment delve much deeper than his hard-man, exterior.

UK comedy guide Chortle says: “He commands the room, hits strong gags with confidence and style and has the audience bending to his every whim.”

Please note, line-ups are subject to change and the 8pm show is not for the easily offended.

Tickets are £10 or £7 up to one week before the show.
