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 November 13 night will be the sublime Danny Deegan.

Danny’s tales of mischief and the characters he creates have kept audiences all over the country enthralled as he weaves in and out of the people he has met traveling. His talent and likability coupled with his confidence make him one of the most popular acts in the North, a master at dealing with a tough crowd, and an act that promoters always turn to when booking gigs. .Danny has provided tour support for Chris Ramsey, Mick Foley, Dave Spikey and Paul Sinha as well as performing in Switzerland.
A seasoned headliner and MC, his credits including work for promoters such as Off The Kerb, The Glee, Ten Feet Tall, Frog & Bucket, CKP, The Stand and Avalon.Danny also performed a headline set at the Green Man festival in South Wales getting a great reception from the 400 people in the comedy tent and being asked to wrap up for Manchester band “The Doves” after their headline set in front of 12,000 people.
"Charming, witty and most importantly funny" - Metro
"Blisteringly funny comedy that left us all breathless and aching" - BSH Magazine
The opening act is magnificent MIKE KEENAN, a rising star on the UK circuit, performing reguarly for clubs and promoters across the UK in addition to writing for BBC radio.
He has been described as "Brilliant" (Up The Creek), "A Joy to Watch" (Shoecake Comedy) and "Superb" (Backyard Comedy Club).
His first solo show “Impossible Dream” was nominated for the 2025 Best Debut Award at Leicester Comedy Festival. His Year 9 Maths Teacher said he "will never achieve anything of worth if he keeps joking around" and so he leant into it.
We’ll also have a set from the pulsating BEN HART. The charming but crucially hilarious Northerner is making a real name for himself on the comedy circuit with his review quotes including “watch him now before it costs you a fortune” and “funny, confident, and relatable”. We know you’ll love him too.
The show will be hosted by quick-fire gag merchant BEN TURNER, a World One Liner Championship and Comedy Cellar Yorkshire New Act of the Year finalist.
