Cottingham Comedy Club: Dane Baptiste plus support
Thursday 09.04.26 at 6:30pm
For our next big night, we've only gone and done it... Dane Baptiste is finally making his Cottingham Comedy Club debut! After 10 years of running Hull & East Yorkshire's favourite midweek comedy night, we're still bringing you huge names in an intimate room - and this is a proper milestone.
Doors & Dough Punks Pizza from 6:30pm * Show 8pm
Headliner: Dane Baptiste
Dane Baptiste has spent the last decade becoming one of the UK's most distinctive comedy voices.
A trailblazer from the start, he became the first Black British comic ever nominated for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe (2014), before creating and starring in SunnyD on BBC Three - the first BBC sitcom written by a Black British writer with a predominantly Black British cast in over 20 years.
Since then, his CV has exploded:
Host of Live at the Apollo
Appearances on Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Countdown, and more
International sell-out tours
Netflix & Amazon Prime specials
Creator and host of Dane Baptiste Questions Everything, with guests ranging from Reggie Yates to Ed Miliband
This is a rare chance to see a national-level headliner up close, in a room that fits fewer people than an EYMS bus.
Plus Three Brilliant Support Acts
A hand-picked lineup of rising and established talent, including:
Mandy McCarthy - "Warm, fearless, and hilariously relatable."
Alex Redman - "A delightful presence that demands attention" - The Stand
Connor Read - "Jokes AND looks that kill; your new favourite comic" - Olga Koch
All held together (in varying states of chaos) by your award-winning regular hosts:
Fresh Prince of Hull Fair Jed Salisbury & International Head of Admin Rich Austin.
