Jonathan Mayor & Danny Deegan
Coming to Hilarity Bites in Thornaby on April 5th 2012:
Jonathan Mayor
"Dress like a butterfly and sting like a scorpion!" as Mohammed Ali never said about Jonathan Mayor – the forgotten Bollywood love-child of Hinge and Bracket, Kenneth Williams and Eddie Izzard.
As a headline act, Jonathan sets the stage alight with his razor sharp audience banter and stunning charisma. But don’t be fooled by the glitter and glamour, underneath lies an intelligent line of socio-political humor, from a unique and fascinating perspective, He will reduce any audience to hysterics whether they are erudite, worthy, Radio 4 listeners or the drunkest Friday night crowd.
Jonathan Mayor is developing into a huge cult. When Jonathan arrives, its showtime, engaging the audience both on and off-stage. It is this that has made him the most requested compere by audiences at many venues – including as a resident compere at Manchester’s Frog and Bucket, where the list has included Johnny Vegas, Peter Kay, Dave Spikey and Steve Coogan.
“An incredible presence on the stage. Mesmerising to watch and an extremely articulate improviser. Fantastic.” - XS Malarkey
“Stories of his rugby playing days clashed brilliantly with his overly camp persona while his banter with the students was unrivalled” - Mancunian Matters
“a self-obsessed glittery queen with a larger than life personality who arrives on stage in a bamboozling mix of innuendo” - Manchester Evening News
Danny Deegan
Danny Deegan is a comedian, writer and actor who began performing in 2003 and has since risen steadily through the ranks of some of the most prestigious Comedy Clubs in the UK. His tales of mischief and the characters he creates have kept audiences all over the country enthralled as he weaves in and out of the people he has met travelling. His talent and likability coupled with a confident swagger see him as one of the most popular acts in the North.

MC Tony Jameson
Since starting in September, 2008, Tony Jameson has established himself firmly as one of the brightest prospects in the North East comedy scene.
With his whimsical rambling manner, or flight of fancy, Tony takes audiences on a tour of the inner workings of his mind and the strange things that happen in his life. Fleeting from whimsy to dark one-liners, before stopping for a cup of tea and a breather. It’s a bit like a small child who always asks ‘why?’ His observations are well thought out, keeping the audience on their toes and intrigued, eager to see where his journey will take them.
"Tony Jameson delivered both an imaginatively amusing and well received performance..." - Three Weeks
"With his hyperactive brain and whimsical imagination, he is sure to keep the laughs coming..." - GiggleBeats
"Fast rising talent..." - Newcastle Evening Chronicle
