Guildhall Comedy Club: December

Kevin Daniel and Ashley Frieze are the two acts on the bill for the Guildhall Comedy Club on Tuesday 1 December, with local comedian Nik Hill as MC. It's a mid-week night at the Gloucester Guildhall, which is the venue's cinema space rather than the main hall.

Daniel is still relatively new in comedy years, and he's built his following on a relaxed style and tales of everyday life. Frieze is a larger-than-life musical comedy act, with stand-up interspersed with original silly songs. Between them, you've got a night that moves from observational storytelling to musical comedy, and Nik Hill to hold it all together.

The Guildhall itself is the county's premier arts venue, built in 1890 and opened in 1892 on the site of Sir Thomas Rich's Blue Coat School. A major refurbishment between 1985 and 1988 turned it into the lively room known today as 'The County's Liveliest Venue', and it's hosted national music acts including Radiohead, Muse, Primal Scream, Lily Allen, Pete Doherty and Ash, alongside comedians such as Frankie Boyle, Andy Parsons, Dara O'Brien and Jeremy Hardy. In January 2010 it won an award for 'Putting Gloucester On The Map'.

The comedy club brings touring comedians to the city in an intimate cinema setting, with local favourite Nik Hill as MC, described as the perfect atmosphere for a weeknight laugh. Tickets are £10, and the night runs on Tuesday 1 December at the Gloucester Guildhall, 23 Eastgate Street, GL1 1NS.
