A NEW comedy club is being launched in North Yorkshire

Truefitt’s Tap on Northallerton’s High Street are starting the club, in conjunction with Darlington-based Hilarity Bites Comedy Club.

It will run on the first Wednesday of the month, and will feature some of the best in professional UK talent trying out new material, alongside a professional host and headline act.

The shows will also give audience members an opportunity to get up and try-out stand-up, with three spaces at each show being reserved for complete novices to try it out for themselves.

Headlining the first show, on June 3, is Kevin Precious. He has performed at many of the biggest clubs in the UK, as well as presenting awards to the likes of Jimmy Carr and Harry Enfield as presenter of the Loaded Lafta awards in 2008.

Tickets are £5 each, and are available from hilaritybites.co.uk, or direct from Truefitt’s Tap.
