GARY DELANEY

Double Sony Award Winner • Two Live at The Apollo Appearances Regular Guest On Mock The Week (18 Appearances) • Chortle Award Nominee

Gary Delaney is the premier gag smith of his generation and through social media he’s become one of the most followed and quoted comedians in the country. He is the only comic ever to have two gags in the same top 10 for Dave’s TV Funniest Jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe. He has recently finished his sell-oout touring show 'Gary in Punderland', which  was extended four times and took in over 200 venues

A master at crafting one-line jokes that range from the silly and sublime to the down-right dark and depraved, this special show brings him out to Beccles to perform a rare headline club-set.  This appearance is one of very few he will be making while he takes an extended break to write and prepare for a new tour scheduled for 2026.. Don't miss this comedy masterclass.  Gary will be joined by Two top headline-quality  support acts and a fantastic M.C.

He loves each and every gag and you can’t help but be carried away by his infectious charm. He’s like a cheeky schoolboy who can barely hide his glee with each and every punch line.

The show runs from 8.30pm until approximately 11pm including two intervals of approximately 20 minutes.

To reduce the queuing at the bar during intervals, you should consider purchasing your interval drinks before the show begins.

RIA LINA

Ria is a touring Filipina comedian, actress and writer known for her appearances on BBC’s Live At The Apollo (As a guest Act and Host), Have I Got News For You, The Now Show and Mock The Week - and in November was named as one of The Evening Standard’s ‘Hottest Comedians You Should Be Watching Now’.  Throughout her stand-up career Ria has taken five shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with her work tackling topics such as autism, topical news and racial identity. Her career stretches from stage and screen, to radio and the occasional ukulele - all in a unique style described by ‘The Scotsman’ as ‘fearless , provocative and very funny’. Ria is the only Filipina comedian in British stand up and has a BSc in Experimental Pathology, an MSc in Forensic Science and a PhD in Virology under her belt, so it’s not only Ria’s comedy that’s highly intelligent. A regular pundit on Sky News, BBC News, Times Radio and TalkRadio, Ria is in demand for both her scientific insight, confident delivery and biting wit.  A prolific writer, Ria has written for the Ladyboys of Bangkok ‘Fantasy & Feathers’ and ‘Glamorous Amorous’ tours, and wrote and acted in ITV2 comedy sketch show ‘Meet the Blogs’. She has also written and presented her own Channel 4 documentary that revealed the truth behind the myths that surround East Asian women in Britain.
