LINEUP SUBJECT TO CHANGE (ticket holders will be contacted in the event of a change to headliner)

One of the top comedy club nights in the country, The Comedy Network, returns to the Town Hall this autumn.

Each event will feature an MC, opening act and headliner for the bargain price of just £10.

Headliner – Steve Day

Steve Day describes himself as Britain’s only deaf comedian – if there are any others, he hasn’t heard. Actually there are a couple of others who have started since he wrote that joke, but it’s only a joke after all.

For the past 18 years Steve has been performing to huge laughter around the country and abroad. Well, they tell him the laughter was huge to humour him, he doesn’t know either way.

Married with five children, a fact nothing to do with not being able to hear the word ‘no’, Steve has been described as ‘warm and witty’ by the Scotsman and has received many other rave reviews whilst performing shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival including five stars form Chortle for Deafy’s Island Discs, a show The Sunday Times called ‘funny and moving’.

A familiar voice on Radio 4, Steve has appeared many times on You And Yours, was a token man on Woman’s Hour, has appeared in two radio dramas, All Fingers and Thumbs with Bill Nighy, whom he punched dramatically, and Sound Barriers with Patricia Routledge and Caroline Quentin, both of whom he was prevented from punching. He has also been tour support for Sarah Millican.

A disabled performer, Steve is more concerned with success in the mainstream comedy circuit, but is happy to ‘deaf it up’ as necessary if the money is ok and there are sandwiches.

Steffan Alun is a TV presenter, radio host and actor – but he does those things in Welsh, so you won’t have heard of him. First and foremost a comedian, he has supported Elis James on tour, has performed full runs at the Edinburgh Festival every year from 2015, and is a familiar face at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival since 2013.  He recently completed his first tour with the solo show Romantic Comedy, after a hugely succesful run at Edinburgh, adding extra dates due to popular demand.

Influenced by his upbringing as a monolingual Welsh-speaker, Steffan’s stories and observations about life in English-speaking UK delight audiences in comedy clubs, arts centres, and theatres across the country. With strong opinions about everything from… well, actually, no, literally everything – he cuts to the quick, without ever going for the cheap shot.
