The Comedy Club Rotherham Theatre & Performing Arts

Host Comedian – Karen Bayley:

She has me in stitches" Alan Carr. "A very good act" Jasper Carrott.

The first ever female winner of the prestigious Comedy Store King Gong award, Karen was also a BBC New Comedy Awards Showcase final and Babycham Funny Women finalist, all when launching onto the UK comedy circuit in 2003. Brummie Karen has quickly picked up a whole host of rave reviews, comedy awards and references from her peers. Her material surprises with inspired and sparkling punchlines, with comic timing that is rarely less than brilliant. Already a rising star on TV and radio, she has appeared on The Last Word, Take The Mike, Sex on the Job, The Fred Macauley Show and a regular on Radio 5 Live.

Opening Comedian – Nick Page:

"Managed to combine a ready wit with his extensive knowledge" The Stage.

Nick Page got into comedy for a bet, he's still not sure if he's won. He turned professional 4 months after his first open mic appearance, helped by working with Steve Coogan's 'Baby Cow' production company and an approach from the BBC who needed someone with a knowledge of property and a bit of life for a new series. That offer turned into 3 series (so far) of 'Escape to the Country', which attracts daytime audience share of over 30% and has moved to prime time as well.

Headline Comedian – Colin Cole:

"He mesmerized the audience; they only took their eyes off him to laugh" The Melbourne Age.

Colin is literally one of the biggest names in comedy in Australia - not only is he 6' 7", he is also known for his hugely dynamic performance. His delivery is fast and furious, and his material ranges from the topical to the observational. Colin Cole's comedy TV credits read like a "'guide to Australian Television" they include hit shows such as 'Hey Hey', 'The Max Gillies Show' and 'Bingles'. He has toured extensively in the US, Canada and Hawaii, and now he's also taking the UK by storm.
