Larry Dean | It Must Be Hull

Larry Dean is playing Asylum on Tuesday 27 October, bringing his stand-up to the University of Hull's own nightclub on Cottingham Road. He's a Gallus Glaswegian who's won the Edinburgh Comedy Award three times and starred in Live At The Apollo, and you'll also recognise him from Mock The Week, House Of Games, Fandan and Michael McIntyre's Big Show. Critics have called him "twinklingly charismatic" and "at the top of his game."

He returns recently married but still emotionally feral, with a show that plays on identity, heroes and the benefits of being a dafty. Much of the comedy leans on his skill with accents, jaunty angular poses and stern gazes, so it's as much about the performance as the punchlines. The venue, Asylum, is the University of Hull's nightclub, which stages a wide range of events across the calendar year.

The show is for ages 16+ only, and under-18s need to be accompanied by a responsible adult of 16+.
