Hull Comedy Festival: Michael Cook & Amy Albright - He Was a Punk, She Did Ballet!

Michael Cook and Amy Albright bring their double bill to Space Pier Street Pop-Up on Wednesday 11 November, as part of the Hull Comedy Festival. The show is called He Was a Punk, She Did Ballet!, and it's a split bill: two comedians, each taking their own turn on stage, rather than one act running the whole night. They describe themselves as two acts with nothing in common, and the title does a fair bit of the heavy lifting there.

It's not a brand-new show, either. They debuted it at the Edinburgh Fringe earlier this year, so it's had some time to find its feet before landing here. The whole thing runs for around an hour, which gives each of them a decent stretch of the night to work with.

It's one of many nights across the festival, which runs from 1 to 15 November across a handful of city centre venues. Along with Space Pier Street Pop-Up, the programme spreads out to Hull Truck, Comedy Lounge, Molly Mangan's, the Living Room at Jubilee Central, and The Brain Jar, with headline acts, rising stars, local favourites and family-friendly shows mixed in. If you're planning to see more than one, it's worth checking the full line-up to see where this fits in.

On the night, doors open at 7:00pm and the show starts at 7:30pm. Tickets start from £5 with no booking fees, so it's a cheap one if you fancy a mid-week night out.
