Live From The Town Hall - September 2024

Our headline act is quite simply a legend of the world of comedy. The one and only BAFTA and Perrier award-winning comedian Dylan Moran is coming to Dewsbury. Star (and writer) of the cult classic Black Books, Dylan is also known for his appearances in Shaun of the Dead and Notting Hill as well as over 3 decades on the stage as a multiple award winning comedian. In 2010 Dylan was voted the 14th greatest stand up comedian of all time by Channel 4, ranking him ahead of George Carlin, Frankie Boyle and Eddie Murphy (as well as berry stand up ever apart from 13).

We've also got the amazing musical comedy of David Eagle. Having previously conquered the world of folk music, David is a member of three-time BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winning band The Young’uns. When he branched out into stand up, he was crowned New Comedian Of The Year by Leicester Square Theatre and winner of the new act competitions at Bath Comedy Festival and Nottingham Comedy Festival. He has also been nominated for Best Newcomer at the Chortle Awards. With David being blind, his comedy often explores how his disability means the most ordinary, commonplace events are turned into surreal and convoluted dramas.

With support from rising star Hollie Noble, and as usual hosted by local favourite Graeme Rayner.
