Live at Niamos in Hulme, Manchester on Thursday 30th May...
DYLAN MORAN
As part of a series of very special shows with the historic Hulme Playhouse Theatre (now Niamos) we are thrilled to welcome one of the ALL TIME greats!
Widely regarded as the finest stand up of his generation, selling out shows worldwide, Dylan Moran will be bringing his dark, dry and relentlessly sharp humour to Niamos as he performs an extended headline set.
Described as “The Oscar Wilde of comedy” and “The greatest comedian, living or dead” you can expect something special from the Bafta and Perrier Award winning Moran, famed both for his incredible standup performances and his roles in Black Books, Shaun of the Dead, Notting Hill and much more!
“His comedy takes on an existential dimension, as Moran comes to represent the struggles we all wage for meaning and connection” The Guardian
“High-octane riffs from the Irish master of grumpiness…spellbinding” Evening Standard
“Funny and fascinating, and utterly deserving of his place in the modern classics” The Times
JO ENRIGHT
Support on the night is provided by the incredible Josephine Enright. Jo Enright is an award winning stand-up comedian and actress who has appeared in Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights, The Job Lot, Life's Too Short and After Life.
“Jo Enright is one of the most naturally gifted comic talents I’ve ever seen. I’d put her in the same league as Julie Walters.” Peter Kay
"One of Britain’s best character actresses." Grace Dent
SCOTT BENNETT
Recently described by the Evening Standard as “Live Comedy’s best kept secret” Scott Bennett has been blazing a trail through the stand-up circuit for the best part of a decade. He’s written for many high profile acts such as Chris Ramsey and Jason Manford, and recently recorded his debut on BBC One’s Live at the Apollo. In massive demand as a comedy writer and with regular appearances on BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz and The Now Show, Scott is an act on the verge of breaking through into the big time.
“Great Material, great delivery, a very funny man” Rob Brydon
“A Joy to watch” Chris Ramsey
“Flashes of Peter Kay, Jason Manford and John Bishop” Beyond a Joke
