Darren Walsh: Do You Like Puns?

Darren Walsh is playing Blackstock Market on Thursday 3 December, his show Do You Like Puns? taking over the Hot Water Comedy Club inside the market. It's a solo stand-up night, so it's just him on stage for the full set.

If you haven't come across him before, Walsh is a comedian whose 8ft frame is as much a part of the act as the writing. He's an award-winning act who's worked his way from appearing on Comic Relief to a 'Jokes on the street' series on social media that's racked up millions of views. He describes himself as thriving live, and that's where the show really sits: it's a mix of sound effects, videos, one-liners and improvised jokes built from audience suggestions. The title Do You Like Puns? gives you a fair idea of the wordplay that runs through it, and the improvised side means it changes depending on who's in the room.

The show is at the Hot Water Comedy Club, which sits within Blackstock Market at 17 Blackstock Street, Liverpool L3 6ER. Doors open at 18:30, the show starts at 19:30, and it wraps up by 21:00, so it's a mid-week night that doesn't run too late. Tickets are £21 for adults.
