Comedy Club

Thornton Hough Village Club & Bar's venture into comedy have proved a runaway success since they were launched in 2024 by DBN Events headed up by Dean Boodaghians-Nolan.

Headlining our June 12 night will be the magnificent award-winning improvised comedy sketch duo The Halls of Ridiculous.The terrific twosome, who have done tour support for Russell Kane, bring a breath of fresh air to the UK comedy scene, combining lightning-fast improvised comedy with high-octane character sketches.

But here's the twist - every bit of hilarity is conjured up on the spot, fuelled by the audience's suggestions, ideas, and occasionally, their wonderfully weird imaginations.Featuring Chris Lumb (as seen on BBC Three's Russell Howard's Good News) and Phil Allan-Smith (as seen on BBC One's This is My House), The Halls of Ridiculous grace stages across the UK, from renowned comedy clubs to their very own scratch night in Otley.Their comedic prowess was recognised in 2023 when they clinched the 'Best Alternative Act' title at The Yorkshire Comedy Awards and secured the Southport Comedy Awards' prestigious 'New Comedian of The Year Award'.The opening act is the loveable scamp Chris Giles.Yorkshire-based Chris's style of storytelling, observational comedy, as well as sound for like impersonations, and crowd interaction has seen him perform all over the country.

He's gained himself a reputation for being a very entertaining stand up not to be missed.Well also have a set from James Allen.A 2018 Chortle Student Finalist, James delivers whimsical tales of personal embarrassment that have seen him support George Lewis and Hayley Ellis on tour.The show will be hosted by quick-fire gag merchant Ben Turner, a World One Liner Championship and Comedy Cellar Yorkshire New Act of the Year finalist.
