About the show
Live Comedy is back in Bingham.
After the departure of the much loved and missed Ian Whitcombe (don't worry, he's still alive - just living in Scotland), previous headliner Stevie Gray has stepped in with his Flat Cap Comedy brand to help resurrect this sleeping beauty of a comedy night.
Join host Stevie Gray, as he brings 3 headline level acts, a pro MC and an up and coming rising star from the local scene, to tickle your funny bones!
Christian Reilly
Topping the bill is Christian Reilly, a musical comedy genius, who performs the most hilarious comedy songs on his guitar. He is cool, current and seriously funny and performs very funny, catchy tunes… hysterical material. Not to be missed, once seen, never forgotten!
“If you’re a fan of Bill Bailey or Rich Hall, you’re probably a Christian Reilly fan already” -The Guardian
Peter Brush
A highly distinctive performer and deft writer of finely crafted jokes, Peter Brush unassumingly takes the stage with his slight bespectacled frame and scruffy hair, before consummately conquering it with an arsenal of razor sharp quirky one-liners and peerlessly original routines, all delivered in an amusingly awkward fashion.
Peter performs at all the major clubs across the UK as well as doing shows in Budapest, Switzerland and Norway. Formerly a BBC New Comedy Award finalist, he has written for several BBC Radio 4 shows and was the support act for Alexei Sayle’s most recent tour.
Other acts he has supported on tour include Jonathan Pie, Jason Manford, Fern Brady, Arthur Smith and Paul Sinha.
‘compellingly hilarious.. first-class gag writing… an original and achingly funny voice’ – Chortle
‘I love Peter Brush, what a comic’ - Jason Manford
‘unique observations and connections that stand-ups crave’ – The Guardian
‘He’s a great comic’ - BBC Radio 4 Saturday Review
Ben Briggs
A professional comedian for over 15 years, Ben has worked as both an act and compere for some of the biggest clubs in the UK and abroad.
He is brash, honest, razor sharp and at times dark but always very, very funny. Ben has appeared at the Leicester, Nottingham, Birmingham and Edinburgh Comedy festivals. In 2015 he was finalist in the English Comedian of the Year.

Kate Vincent
Originally from Luton but residing in Newark, Kate burst on to the Flat Cap Comedy radar when she told Stevie at a gig (when she was in the audience) that she has been learning and training to be a comic. Stevie asked if she'd like to have a go that night & Kare subsequently blew the roof off! A real star in the making.
Stevie Gray (MC)
The night will be compered by Stevie Gray: with a wonderful mix of Crowd Work, Audience Interaction, Music, Stories and Jokes.
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Featuring
Christian Reilly
Now a solo headline act all over the globe, Christian uses his improvisations, sharp wit, youthful energy, guitar skills and vocal mimicry to target histrionic rock bands, musical theatre and morose indie musicians with his charming onstage confidence machine-gunning impossibly catchy tunes with hysterical lyrical content. His solo Edinburgh Festival Show, ‘Lost In Music’ was sold out, critically acclaimed and was the winner of the 'Spirit Of The Fringe' Award. In 1999 Christian started playing guitar and singing for the American comic polymath Rich Hall. High points included winning the Perrier Award in 2001 for "Rich Hall is Otis Lee Crenshaw", being on subsequent CD and DVD releases, seeing the world, appearing on stage with Seinfeld star Michael Richards and getting on Late Night with Conan O' Brien. He was a regular on a BBC radio show with the Richard Herring, called That Was Then, This Is Now that was critically acclaimed and lasted for 3 series. This led to a key role in Herring’s groundbreaking podcast, As It Occurs To Me which ran for three years and won a Chortle award for best internet comedy and appearances on Radio 2’s ‘Jammin’. 'So much biblical gusto and zest it is impossible not to be possessed by his optimistic persona' (Broadway Baby). 'If you’re a fan of Bill Bailey or Rich Hall, you’re probably a Christian Reilly fan already' (The Guardian). ‘LOLternative Rock’.
