Hilarity Bites presents... Eric Lampaert & Danny Deegan tickets and listings

Coming to Hilarity Bites in Hartlepool on February 18th 2012:

Eric Lampaert

WINNER - 2010 Latitude Comedy Best New Act of the Year Competition

Since 2008, Erics play-dough face and weird grasshopper legs have been used on the stand up comedy circuit. And sometimes his face gets on the television, which can cause quite a stir. Some people think his face is CGI. Its not. Thats his actual face and he loves it.

Resembling the lovechild of Tim Burton and a hairy lampost, Eric has been described as "delightfully weird" by Time Out magazine. A set from Eric never disappoints. He is an energetic, excited, over exaggerated character who will keep you engaged and entertained. And not just because you'll be looking at his face.

The strength of his scatty character rips through the room like a mini-hurricane, destroying complacency and raising the spirits - Chortle
This is exactly what you want: gusto, affability and the ability to whip up an air of playful havoc - Fest
One to watch. Sublimely amusing - Time Out

Danny Deegan

Danny Deegan is a comedian, writer and actor who began performing in 2003 and has since risen steadily through the ranks of some of the most prestigious Comedy Clubs in the UK. His 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 travelling. His talent and likability coupled with a confident swagger see him as one of the most popular acts in the North.

Danny also recently performed a headline set at the Green Man festival in South Wales getting a great reception from the 400 people in the marquee and being asked to wrap up for Manchester band "The Doves" after their headline set in front of 12,000 people. Outside of live work Danny has made several TV and radio appearances. From being a guest on Radio GMR to having his own show "Afternoons with Danny Deegan" on CAT FM in Crewe.

"Deegan has a mature confidence in his abilities" - Chortle
"Brimming with confidence and full of ideas Danny Deegan has star written all over him" - Durham21.co.uk
"Charming, witty and most importantly funny" - Metro

MC Tony Jameson

Since starting in September, 2008, Tony Jameson has established himself firmly as one of the brightest prospects in the North East comedy scene.

With his whimsical rambling manner, or flight of fancy, Tony takes audiences on a tour of the inner workings of his mind and the strange things that happen in his life. Fleeting from whimsy to dark one-liners, before stopping for a cup of tea and a breather. Its a bit like a small child who always asks why? His observations are well thought out, keeping the audience on their toes and intrigued, eager to see where his journey will take them.

"Tony Jameson delivered both an imaginatively amusing and well received performance..." - Three Weeks
"With his hyperactive brain and whimsical imagination, he is sure to keep the laughs coming..." - GiggleBeats
"Fast rising talent..." - Newcastle Evening Chronicle
