Thurs 26 Mar - Live Comedy Night

* HEADLINING CHRIS WASHINGTON AND PAUL TONKINSON *

Topping the bill will be Chris Washington, a rising star who is taking the comedy industry and audiences alike by storm. With bags of Northern charm, he had a hugely successful debut run at the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, during which he received a sparkling nomination for the coveted Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer with his solo stand-up hour Dream Big (Within Reason). 2018 started with a bang for Chris, in January he brought his Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated show to London’s Soho Theatre, followed by two sell-out shows at the Salford Lowry Studio and invitations to perform at Latitude, Festival 41, Kendal Calling and Festival No. 6. Since becoming Re:Play Breakthrough Comedian of the Year Winner and a finalist in the Magners New Comedy Act in 2015, Chris has proved he’s a definite one to watch, being likened to a Peter Kay for the smartphone generation. A favourite on the live circuit he has already supported Jason Manford and Tom Stade on tour.

Opening the night will be Paul Tonkinson, a sensational live performer, Yorkshire man, marathon runner and Time Out Comedian of the Year. Tonkinson has long upheld his esteemed reputation as one of the finest stand-ups the UK has to offer. TV appearances include Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Pointless Celebrities. He started stand-up in 1992, when he won the Time Out New Act of the Year Award. The same London magazine named him stand-up comic of the year in 1997. He is now a circuit stalwart, and regularly entertains the troops.

Support for the evening will be Richie Roberts. The evening will be compered by the Mill's fabulous resident MC, Pete Teckman, who won the Not So New Comedian of the Year 2023 award. 

Over 18s only. Please note some material by comedians may be of an adult nature. Acts are subject to change. Tickets are non-refundable or transferable.
