SUMMARY:Hilarity Bites Festival Special
DESCRIPTION:Hilarity Bites Comedy Club x Ripon Theatre Festival feat. Tarot\, Black Liver\, Joe Kent-Walters\, and host Lee Kyle\nTonight’s extra special comedy collaboration has a twist of theatre and a dash of music with a good dollop of improv squirted on the top. \nTarot\nBorn from the loins of multi-award winning sketch powerhouses Gein’s Family Giftshop and Goose\, the on-stage members of Tarot\, Adam Drake (Extraordinary)\, Ed Easton (Starstruck) and Kath Hughes (After Life) write it together with the off-stage members Ben Rowse (Petrichor) and Kiri Pritchard-McLean (Live At The Apollo). \nFollowing a sell out critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2019 they went on to create their Radio 4 series Soundbleed and two short films Hiraeth and Pedwar. Their second Fringe show Cautionary Tales enjoyed similar success in 2022 followed by a week long run at the Soho Theatre\, and can now be seen on ITVX. \nThey have also appeared on Dave’s News Desk at the Edinburgh Fringe\, The Paddock for Channel 4 and Live from Barry Island for BBC – but this is a show that is best witnessed live and up-close! \n“The jokes come out of nowhere\, are bark-out-loud funny\, and the whole hour is startlingly live” – The Guardian \n“One of the balls-out funniest show of the Fringe” – Chortle \n“Tarot will not give you nightmares\, though you might wake laughing your head off” – Evening Standard \nBlack Liver\nRuth is from Blackpool. Keith is from Liverpool. Together they are BLACK LIVER. \nBorn out of the boredom of lockdown 2020\, Black Liver (AKA comics Keith Carter and Ruth Cockburn) has become a surprise hit. The rock ‘n’ roll comedy duo are currently on nationwide tours with two of their shows\, putting sounds and words together to make you smile inside and out. \n“Iconic” – The Forgotten Arts Festival \n“Theatre\, comedy\, musical\, cabaret… you get them all with these two!” – Stage Handed Magazine \n“Part music duo\, part double act – Black Liver are that quirky couple you want as your best friends…” – Northern Uproar \nJoe Kent-Walters\nBBC New Comedian of the Year 2023\nJoe Kent-Walters is a multi-award winning comedian from Huddersfield. He has been delighting audiences up and down the country with his idiosyncratic style of outrageous character comedy\, most notably with his comic creation Frankie Monroe\, MC of a working mens club in Rotherham that is a portal to hell. \nHis performance as Frankie saw him win the 2023 BBC New Comedy Award after a “barn storming” (Ibid) set at Glasgow’s Kings Theatre Joe is now in development with the BBC and is one of Jiksaw’s 2024 ‘Faces of Comedy’. \nPrior to his BBC success Joe won the 2021 Chortle Student Comedy Award which saw him play the main comedy stage at Latitude festival and tour Australia\, performing at the Sydney Comedy Store. \n“Mesmerising and unpredictable presence” – Chortle \nLee Kyle\nIn his never ending quest not to have a proper job\, Lee Kyle spent time as part of an all male Spice Girls tribute act before spending a decade as a professional wrestler. \nManaging the difficult trick of being both odd and relatable\, he did a show at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013 that he heard was well received but he doesn’t read reviews because his psyche is too fragile to handle them so he isn’t totally sure what they said. \nArmed with props and a rapid gag rate he cuts a confident\, if off-beat figure on stage. His jokes veer between the clever and the silly and deliver more than their fair share of belly laughs. \n“Had everyone on their feet – Sublimely ridiculous” – The Northern Echo \n“A brilliant performance.. Pure genius!” – NARC Magazine \n“Quirky and original – the highlight of the night” – Giggle Beats \nNote: Line-ups are subject to change in extreme\, and unavoidable\, circumstances. \nShow may contain strong language and adult themes. \nDoors 7.30pm\, Show starts 8pm \nTicket price: £10

SUMMARY:Look After Your Knees
DESCRIPTION:Look After Your Knees is a new solo work by theatre maker\, performer and physical comedian Natalie Bellingham. It is about the pain and beauty of growing older\, of connecting and unravelling\, of taking hold and letting go. This new solo performance uses comedy\, storytelling\, movement and interaction to uncover some of the things in life that can be hard to talk about. It’s a celebration of being human in all its banality\, sprinkled with joy and ridiculousness. It’s a visual and physical collage performed by a clown delving into the space inside us left behind by time. \nThis is a show about facing change when you didn’t see it coming. It’s about what comes next. \n“Be kind to your knees\, you’ll miss them when they’re gone” Baz Lurhman\, 1999 \n“Great comic timing\, fantastic physicality and delivers emotional moments exceptionally well… clearly (an) exceptional talent.”\nJacob Bush\, The Reviews Hub Yorkshire\n“Honest\, raw and emotionally open on the stage\, it makes for a performer who is utterly compelling.” Nick Ahad\, Writer and Broadcaster \nNatalie was a 2021 Funny Women finalist and co-founder of Uncanny Theatre with whom she toured original work for a decade throughout the UK. She has recently been touring The Polar Bear (Is Dead)\, a creative collaboration with Daniele Pennati from Milan\, and has been working with acclaimed art clown Jamie Wood to create this new solo show Look After Your Knees. \nWednesday 3 July\, 8pm \nPresented in memory of Ripon Theatre Festival founder\, Ian Holloway. There will be a collection after the show for St Michael’s Hospice. \nYou may also make a donation to the charity directly via Ian’s Just Giving page.  Thank you for your support. \nTickets £12 (£10)

SUMMARY:We're Not Going Back
DESCRIPTION:75 Mines. 3 Sisters. 1 Cause. (And a six-pack of Babycham) \n2024 is the fortieth anniversary of the 1984/85 miners’ strike\, a dispute that still resonates today. But the strike wasn’t just about pickets vs police – in this thought-provoking musical comedy\, there are no miners and no cops. Instead\, we follow the fortunes of three sisters in a pit village\, hit hard by the Government’s war against the miners and determined to set up a branch of ‘Women Against Pit Closures’.\nIt’s early 1984\, and Olive\, Mary\, and Isabel are sisters whose everyday squabbles collide with a strike that forces them to question their lives\, their relationships\, and their family ties. \nhttps://www.ripontheatrefestival.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/WNGB-trailer-captioned.mp4\n  \nThis strike wasn’t just a war fought on the battlegrounds of a picket line\, Parliament\, and public opinion; it was as much a battle in the homes and families of those fighting for their communities.\nWe’re Not Going Back tackles the resilience of working communities\, the make-and-mend fabric of family\, and the power of sticking two fingers up to a government hell-bent on destruction… and all with humour\, song and a six-pack of Babycham. \nPresented by Red Ladder Theatre Company and Unite the Union\nWritten by Boff Whalley \nTicket price: £14 (£12)
