SKIPTON'S only monthly comedy night returns on Wednesday for the start of its second full year in a venue that was voted Best Pub in Yorkshire at the end of 2014.
The My Newt event at The Castle Inn - which always features a professional headline act from the UK comedy circuit, plus up and coming talent - has proved hugely popular since it started.
Promoter and resident MC Daniel J Kennedy said: “There’s absolutely no doubt this is the best night out in Skipton.”
And Daniel says the first show of the year will get 2015 off to a real bang.
“Our headline act, Dan Nightingale is widely regarded as one of the best performers working on the comedy circuit today,” said Daniel. “His mix of fiendishly accurate observation, energetic characterisations and killer punchlines have made him a favourite with all the leading comedy clubs and brought him to the attention of none other than John Bishop who booked him to appear on his Sky 1 show Only Joking.
“Also on the bill is Tony Basnett – a north east comic who is making a real name for himself very early on in his career – plus a middle section packed full with new exciting talent.”
As always, entry is free, although those interested in attending are advised to reserve a table by contacting Calvin Dow at the bar on 01756 796304.
