Gary Delaney, the comedian and Mock The Week regular, will be entertaining fans at Bishop Auckland Town Hall as part of the Hilarity Bites Comedy Club on Friday, October 7.

Having extended his last tour four times due to demand, the Sony Award winner and Chortle Award nominee is currently touring with his There’s Something About Gary show. Outside of his stand-up work, Delaney recently won Celebrity 15 to 1 and will soon be seen on Celebrity Mastermind and Celebrity University Challenge for the London School of Economics team, alongside his fellow alumnus Martin Lewis (from MoneySavingExpert.com), who encouraged Delaney to follow his dreams of being a stand-up comic.

His comedy performances on TV and radio include Robert’s Web (Channel 4), Loose Ends (BBC Radio 4) and Russell Kane’s Whistle-Stop Tour (BBC Radio 2), and he’s also a regular writer for shows including A League Of Their Own, Live At The Apollo and The Royal Variety Performance. Delaney's jokes have also twice appeared in TV channel Dave's Top Ten Funniest Jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe.
