Event information
Comedy returns to Congleton in September with TV’s Scott Bennett (BBC One’s Live At The Apollo, The News Quiz etc) introducing Garrett Millerick (‘Brilliant’ ★★★★★ Three Weeks), Have A Word’s Dan Nightingale (‘Funny as hell’ Leicester Mercury) and Paul Campbell at Radley & Co, beneath The Lion & Swan, Congleton. Please scroll down for comedians’ details.
Acts subject to change. Proper sweary, swearing. Fully seated. 18+ We want all our guests to have a great night so please respect those around you by turning off your phone and not talking whilst the show is in progress. Sorry, but we can only refund or reallocate if the show is cancelled. Thanks!
Entertaining the metropolitan elites at London’s Soho theatre or the Edinburgh Fringe is one thing but keeping baying crowds of UK and US squaddies happy requires a slightly different skill set! In fact, keeping them so happy you get asked back three times is the hallmark of a solid comic at the very top of their game and that sums up the wondrously monikered Garrett Millerick perfectly!
Co-host of hit podcast Laughable (alongside Jayde Adams and Red Richardson), Garrett has also performed his stand up on hit US talk show Conan as well as all the usual venues, tours and support slots to be expected from a comedian this good.
Acerbic yet delightful, grumpy but both hilarious and passionate. We really can’t recommend Garrett Millerick to you enough.
“Brilliant.” ★★★★★ Three Weeks “Wonderfully funny.” ★★★★ The Times “A unique joy.” ★★★★ The List
Now best known as co-host of the Have A Word podcast, Dan Nightingale is widely regarded as one of the best performers working on the comedy circuit today. Mixing fiendishly accurate observation with energetic characterisations and killer punch lines, his comedy is original, playful, intelligent, poignant and exciting; sometimes ridiculous… but always hilarious.
‘Funny as hell’ Leicester Mercury ‘Enthusiastically charming albeit self-deprecating storyteller’ ★★★★★ Three Weeks
After spending lock down live streaming weekly comedy shows from his garden shed Scott Bennett appeared on BBC News, Sky News and Five Live. This further increased the small, yet loyal, fan base built from Scott’s exemplary comedy club appearances. Since then Scott has appeared on BBC’s Live At The Apollo, become a regular on Radio 4’s The New Quiz, won numerous awards and toured the UK. November 2024 saw Scott perform at the Royal Variety Command Performance.
‘ Live comedy’s best kept secret” Evening Standard “A very funny man” Rob Brydon ★★★★ Chortle ★★★★ TV Bomb ‘Proper meat-and-two-veg jokes’ Beyond The Joke
