Ha Ha Hitler! live in Manchester Ha Ha Hitler! Buy Manchester Comedy Tickets
Stockport Plaza - (Thur 4th Feb)
Following the hit national tour of Ha Ha Hamlet!, The Ha Ha boys bring you their spin on The Great Escape. It's 1942, German occupied France. Three hopeless RAF pilots plan an escape from the infamous stronghold Chateau Plonke. Under the watchful eye of General Von Schnitzershitz, Tom, Dick and Hilary take you on an unforgettable journey of ridiculous Luftwaffe laughter with a plot thicker than Hitler's moustache. What do German Generals get up to behind closed doors? Will Tommy find romance with French beauty Sophie Ce Soir? How will our heroes disguise themselves? And how important is the Enigma Machine code book to the outcome of the world's most talked about war? Experience Hitler's birth, his interrogation techniques and his bloody suicide in this mad-cap, knockabout tale of love and bravery. This is the most hilarious war time story never told.

Stockport Plaza - (Fri 5th Mar)
In a vain attempt at bourgeois credibility, Manchester’s sharp-dressed, punk poet Lenny, changed his name to John Cooper Clarke and embarked on a polysyllabic excursion though Thrillsville. Clad in the slum chic of the hipster, he issued the slang anthems of the zip age in the desperate esperanto of bop. Expect a mix of hilarious anecdotes of life in a Northern town interspersed with machine-gun fast delivery of some of his best poems. ‘If you think poetry is dull and boring, or posh and erudite - you haven’t seen JCC!’

Dave Gorman at the Lowry Dave Gorman Buy Manchester Comedy Tickets
Lowry Lyric Theatre - (Sat 13th March 2010)

In 2009, DAVE GORMAN set off on a unique national tour. The intention: to cycle over 1500 miles across Britain in 33 days… with a gig each night. I suppose that explains the title. But demand for the show has been so high that he’s decided to keep performing it… but this time without cycling from venue to venue. He’s obviously getting lazy. So now only the last bit of the title makes sense. But look at it from his point of view. Same show, fewer blisters. What would you do? Of course from your point of view it doesn’t matter because it’s not a show about the journey

A heady mix of artistic integrity, loyalty and avarice has put Jimmy back on the road. If you only see one comedy show this year… what’s the matter with you? Get out more. A ‘rapier’ is the long sword of a gentleman. ‘Rapier wit’ is defined as clever, quick, intelligent humour. Please note, Jimmy Carr doesn’t have ‘the long sword of a gentleman’ and even if you like him, ‘clever, quick and intelligent’ is a bit of a stretch.

Following last year’s sell-out tour and sensational performances on ‘The Royal Variety Performance’, ‘Live At The Apollo’, and ‘Michael Mcintyre’s Comedy Roadshow’, the Welsh Wonder is back on the road with a brand new show. Last year, he punched a shop-assistant over the duvet tog-rating system and went berserk over a mince pie. Stung by accusations that he over-reacts, this year Rhod sets out on an emotional rollercoaster of a journey to discover the truth. Is he, as he believes, a visionary in a sea of closed minds, or has he, as everyone else believes, got anger-management problems? Total sell-out, Edinburgh 2005-2008. If. Comedy Nominee 2008. One of the hottest names in stand-up today.
