The Urmston Comedy Club

Event information

Welcome to the first night of The Urmston Comedy Club.

This month we welcome our first headliner
Barbara Nice (@mrsbarbaranice)

Mrs Barbara Nice is the comedy creation of Janice Connolly. Barbara is your average Stockport housewife who has given up the domestic bliss of Tupperware and Poundstretcher shops for the unpredictability of the comedy world. No audience is too rowdy for her to handle - she's already raised five teenagers with the affectionate attitude of a playgroup leader at a wild Iggy Pop concert, Barbara is guaranteed to warm the heart of any audience.

“Imagine a hybrid between Mrs Merton and Victoria Wood” The Times

“A refreshing blast of hilarious humanity” Zone Magazine

“A cross between Victoria Wood and Janis Joplin” The Stage

“Excellent…Has the audience eating out of her hands within seconds” Manchester Evening News

Starting the night off is Jay Hampson (@Jay_Hampson)
Based in Manchester Jay has been working and progressing through the circuit since 2009. Jay possesses excellent timing, a laid back delivery and intelligent material drawing on a wide variety of topics. Fluent use of language coupled with cutting gutteral quips, Jay puts a well thought out spin on a variety of different topics.

"Confident and natural performer…with good creative material…brought the audience with him on the journey" - Hull Comedy Festival

"Well structured set which frequently displays good writing" - Giggle Beats

“Dry, Clever Drollness” - The Liverpool Echo

"Jay Hampson chronicled his transformation from a Manchester ghetto kid into a self-loathing, Guardian-reading, consumer of overpriced organic products" - Jesmond Local


Holding proceedings together is our brilliant resident MC Rich Wall (@richjwall)

"Lively and engaging. He’s learnt a lot about pumping his performance with energy from the likes of Michael McIntrye – though thankfully not the skipping."
Chortle.co.uk

'Rich is an excellent MC who has a warmth that puts the audience at ease from the start and continues to make them laugh with great jokes and cheeky banter throughout'
Si Gunnell, Abbcom Comedy - Sheffield

"Rich Wall is an astute observer of life's absurdities, which he relates to the audience with warmth, passion and genuine likeability."
Martin Bain, Promoter, A Laugh In Stockport
