MC Dean Coughlin hosts our show tonight with a superb line up.

Gentle giant Martin Mor is one of our absolute favourite acts. With many years experience and a hugely engaging manner, he is one of the most in demand comedians on the circuit.

‘Uproariously funny… Mor is a wonderful entertainer and provider of many insights on life’ (ThreeWeeks).

‘If we could all live our lives more like Martin Mor, the world would be a much better, happier place’ (Fest).

After 25 years of semi-retirement, Sol Bernstein is back!

He’s the man who helped the careers of Elvis Presley. Marcel Marceau (never even got a “thank you”) and even the Beatles were influenced. He’s worked with, and been friends with, some of the world’s GREATEST performers; Judy Garland, The Rat Pack, Lenny Bruce, Jack Benny, George Burns, Doris Day, Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe and Eddie Large.

He’s performed all over the world at venues including The London Palladium, New York’s Carnegie Hall, The Paris Olympia, Caesars Palace Las Vegas, and Scunthorpe Baths, but it’s on the comedy circuit where Sol really comes to life. His charisma, his style, his catch phrase “why don’t you put on a tie” his chutzpah, put it all together and you get the magic that is Sol Bernstein.

Faizan Syed is a Manchester-based comic who moved to the UK as a child, his well-crafted jokes make light of growing up in an immigrant household and the inevitable mental health challenges it brings.

Leonardo’s Hotel, Middlesbrough

TICKETS £35 plus b/f incl pie & peas and disco

Doors 7.00pm Show 8.00pm-late

It’s Big Mouth’s legendary New Year’s Eve party at Leonardo’s Hotel and New Year wouldn’t be New Year without the madness of MC Matt Reed!

“Reason alone to attend a comedy night is having Matt Reed as MC” BBC Newcastle

If you haven’t seen Simon Wozniak before, you are in for an absolute treat.   Last time he played for us, the whole room was crying with laughter.

Simon’s frenetic and opinionated style has seen him rise phenomenally through the ranks and he can now be seen performing regularly at some of the biggest and best comedy clubs in the country. Unapologetically brilliant with his honest and line crossing content, you are going to love him!

Rob Thomas is one of those yarn spinning comics who will draw you in with his shaggy dog tales, then suddenly hit you with a raft of unexpected punchlines. His funny stories always end up reducing the whole crowd to hysterics. He is also a scouser. And lovably large and larger than life!

After the comedy, we have our ever-popular old school pie & peas (veggie/vegan & gluten free options available) with a disco till late.  It’s the perfect way to see in the New Year. This is always a sell-out, so don’t leave it too late to book tickets!

Unreserved seating  but don’t worry we’ll always manage to seat your party together/18+/ not for the easily offended / line ups subject to change
