One half of the hit Dead Men Talking podcast Freddy Quinne absolutely hates writing about himself in the third person but needed to fill out this part of his website because sometimes promoters will use these bios and copy and paste them into their own comedy events when he is on. Including us. We are going to add that he is half-Manx and a very safe pair of comedic hands.

‘King of underground comedy’ The Pulse ‘A natural comic’ Manchester Wire ‘Quality comedy’ Fringe Review

Jamie Hutchinson‘s horrible dating past, humiliating anecdotes, and perpetual singledom may sound more suited to a counselling session but, in the hands of this naturally funny craftsman make for a painfully funny set. Manc, ginger and proud, brace yourself for a full frontal comedic assault when Jamie pulls the mic form the stand. One liners, puns, pulling faces, uncanny characterisations and clowning are all utilised as deadly weapons in Jamie’s one man war on the mundane.

“Simply phenomenal” Notts Comedy Review “Absolutely hilarious” Seann Walsh

Alun Cochrane has popped up on everything from Have I Got News For You to 8 Out Of 10 Cats to Frank Skinner’s Absolute Radio show. Expanding life’s more mundane details into eye wettingly funny routine has been his mainstay for many a year. Whether it’s crisp packet opening etiquette or the buddy bench at your kids’ school, Alun has done all the thinking for you. Later years have seen him take on modern life’s more contentious topics but don’t worry, laughter is always first and foremost and, if you have been left with a little bit to think about, then all the better.

“Big belly laughs” The Guardian “Master storyteller” Metro ‘Some of the most listenable-to lines in the business‘ The Scotsman “Alun Cochrane’s ability to make the little things in life a comedy goldmine is phenomenal” Chortle

Your evening comes complete with one act to be confirmed. Didsbury Comedy Club is booked, marketed and produced by Comedy In A Van and held at St Catherine’s Community Centre
