Event information

Thornton Hough Comedy Club returns with another rib-tickling line-up on Friday, September 11 with Parkgate Fish and Chippy van outside for the night too.
Thornton Hough Village Club & Bar’s venture into comedy have proved a runaway success since they were launched in 2024 by DBN Events headed up by Dean Boodaghians-Nolan.
Headlining our September 11 night is the amazing Chris Kehoe!
Described as having a unique and subversive wit, Chris is a critically acclaimed comedian who mixes topical and surreal with aplomb. An intelligent and important voice in the world of satirical comedy Kehoe brings a down to earth charm to his musings on the state of the world. He plays clubs across the country and has provided tour support for both Paul Sinha and Geoff Norcott.

“A damn fine satirist.” – The Skinny

"So funny he almost turned me left wing” – Geoff Norcott

"Astounding" - Dave Spikey
The opening act is sensational Scouser ALEX STRINGER.
Alex Stringer’s hysterically sarcastic material and brilliant dead pan delivery has audiences howling with laughter. She is one of the fastest rising stars on the comedy circuit and has proven herself to have a huge future in the industry.
Award-winning Alex performs at big clubs across the UK making weekend appearances at the likes of Frog & Bucket, Manfords Comedy Club, Comedy in a Van, Leeds Hifi, LOL Comedy Clubs, Nodding Dog Comedy and has done tour support for circuit stalwarts Tom Ward, Hayley Ellis and Sally Anne Hayward.
Her extensive accolades include Chortle Hotshot 2025, Ish Comedy Award shortlist nominee at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2025, Bury Met Comedian of the Year Finalist (2024), Comedy Bloomers LGBT+ New Comedian of the Year Finalist (2022), Northwest Comedy Awards Breakthrough Comedian Nominee and West Didsbury Comedy Festival New Act of the Year Runner Up (2020). This is not an exhaustive list!
“Comedy Gold” – Rolling Stone
“Natural at audience interaction” – Chortle
“Authentic, fresh comedy, born from a very funny woman“– The Skinny
We’ll also have a set from PETER EDGE.
Far from edgy, Peter is an embattled Dad and Grandad, who has been travelling the country making audiences laugh for over seven years now.
He readily admits that comedy is not so much a ‘dream’ for him as an entry on his bucket list. Accordingly, he’s been described (by his wife) as ‘one to see before he dies’. A sort of Victor Meldrew meets Liam Neeson kind of vibe…relatable, but you’ll be glad you’re not related.
“… risqué but told with an endearing, earthy, lovable, Scouse manner. A master of the craft, he aims his material squarely at his audience. True life tales of parenthood peppered with rib cracking asides” (Lancaster Post 2025)
"a solid booking on any lineup. Relatable material delivered impeccably". – RockCentral Promotions.
Doors 6.30pm. Comedy 8pm.Food will be available from Parkgate Fish and Chippy van on the night.
Further comedy nights are scheduled to take place on Friday, November 13.
