Unfortunately, Barry Castagnola has had to pull out of this months Quay Comedy Club, but fear not, for now, you’ll get three for the price of two. Patrick Monahan is still taking part and will not be joined by Hils Barker and Tiernan Douieb.
Hils Barker is an exciting and thought-provoking stand-up with a satirical and very silly edge. She was a finalist in two major stand-up newcomer competitions; Channel 4’s So You Think You’re Funny? (2001) and Avalon’s Daily Telegraph Open Mic Award (2002), as well as appearing in the BBC New Talent Showcases (BBC Choice, 2002).
Tiernan Douieb learnt his trade on Dr Oliver Double’s stand-up course at the University of Kent and has been gigging since 2003. He has quickly become known as a top MC and rising star on the circuit. With his fast paced, energetic style, stupidly unpronounceable name and comedy topics ranging from dancing bears, being diabetic, and sometimes Lionel Ritchie, Tiernan is now performing all over the UK. This includes working for clubs and promoters such as Off The Kerb, Avalon, The Comedy Store, Comedy Cafe, The Comedy Company and Jongluers. He also recently performed in the Jestival Comedy Tent in its first year at Bestival and hosted the Bestival Launch party at the Bloomsbury Ballrooms.
