Tues 30 Dec - Live Comedy Night

* HEADLINING TERRY ALDERTON AND MATT STELLINGWERF *

Topping the bill will be stand-up comic Terry Alderton, a full-on 100mph comedian who uses his body and an immense and unique vocal range to hurtle audiences through an ad-libbed riot of exuberant, loose-limbed physical comedy at its very best. From the moment Terry Alderton was spotted at the legendary Joker Comedy Club in Southend – also home to Lee Evans among others – comedy star Terry Alderton has always been something special. With a set full of extraordinary caricatures – including his own nasty alter-ego – some stunningly acute impressions and observations and a hyperactive delivery, stand-up performer Terry Alderton is loved by comics and fans alike. A versatile performer, he has also enjoyed considerable success as both a comic and straight actor, appearing as a fireman in long-running hit ITV drama London’s Burning in 2002, Holby City, The Bill and Waking The Dead and as a yardie gangster in Guy Ritchie’s seminal Brit-flick Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. 

Opening the night will be Matt Stellingwerf, who is a fast rising star on the international comedy scene, and highly regarded by his peers. A man of contradictions, Matt expertly brings these contradictions to the stage with his typical low-key style and confidence, finding the humour in topics as diverse as love, mental illness, sex, drugs, and this crazy interview he once conducted with a serial killer on Death Row! He has won four NZ Comedy Guild Awards, been nominated for several others, and was nominated as Best Newcomer at the 2014 NZ International Comedy Festival. He has toured extensively, performing throughout NZ, Australia, the USA & the United Kingdom.

Support act will be 3 Wise Men, a musical comedy duo based in London. Completing the line up will be Mackenzie Pike, a young female comedian who talks through the trials and tribulations of being a girl's girl in a man’s world with a bundle of sass.

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.

FOOD! Gourmet burgers, hotdogs and fries available from The Flavour Trailer - here on this Tuesday evening!
