Comedy fans are in for another TV treat as Hartlepool’s Hot Potato Comedy Club kicks off its brand new autumn season this Saturday. (24 September).

Ace Canadian Bobby Mair from 8 Out of 10 Cats and character comic Nige, a popular support for big hitters including Ricky Gervais and Johnny Vegas, share headline duties, with huge Hot Potato favourite Matt Reed as MC.

Peter Vincent of promoters Ten Feet Tall said: “It’s a cracking way to start our brand new season, and we’re looking forward to a top night here.

“Bobby Mair is currently going down a storm up and down the land, and people will know him from a great run of telly gigs including 8 Out of 10 Cats and Russell Howard’s Good News.

“And we love Nige to bits. A brilliant scouse scally invented by Keith Carter, his seventh gig was a finalist in the BBC New Comedy Awards.

“He’s since supported the likes of Ricky Gervais and Johnny Vegas, and he even found time to accidently knock legendary Beatles producer George Martin into an ice sculpture when he was just that little bit tipsy.

“Matt Reed always goes down a storm here in Hartlepool, and we think you’ll love Che Burnley too. Cheeky and chatty, Che’s definitely tipped for bigger things in the not too distant future.”
