Saturday Night Special: Silly Boy
In his intimate debut hour “SILLY BOY” Rich Hardisty takes us on a journey through the highs and the lows of his unusual life.
Expect anecdotes and observations about mental institutions, missing dads and mania, all from his warm/inquisitive/childlike perspective.
In the show Rich tries his best to convey what mental illness really looks and feels like.
But you won’t find any self pity or loathing here… this is a celebration of the beauty and silliness of it all and the interesting, hilarious and sometimes shocking things his brain is capable of doing (whether he wants it to or not.)
Raw, open and honest but most importantly…FUNNY!

Dan Nightingale is Working It Out
Dan Nightingale is Working It Out. A full show of very funny stand-up
comedy from one of the very best circuit comedians in the UK. After
the huge success of Dan's podcast 'Have A Word', he'll be going out on
a national tour in the Autumn of '22, but before he does he'll be
developing that show at preview gigs like this one. With full support
from a comedian mate who's been on the podcast, you know it's going to
be a Smasher."We're laughing. Dan's laughing... Funny as hell." Leicester Mercury

Entertainment Club
After being name-checked by the Guardian as one of the brightest hopes of the Manchester entertainment scene, Entertainment Club is back, by popular demand! Now in the luxurious upstairs theatre of The King's Arms, Entertainment Club returns with a widescreen cabaret format, welcoming not only stand-up comedy but also (though not limited to) avant-garde noise bands, sinewy performance art, and decadent gothic romance.
Hosted by Jim John Harkness ('Veering towards a breakdown'- The Guardian) the evening is an experimental space for exploding the confines of genre, where the audience bring no preconceptions and expect nothing from the performers, except, perhaps, a compulsory offering of their shimmering soul.£6.00 ADV £8 OTD -
