Monthly comedy night at Down By Here with award-winning comedian Sally-Anne Hayward as headliner and opener Joe Dehuai.
Sally-Anne Hayward headlines the Rogues' Gallery Comedy Club at Down By Here on Thursday 5 November, her first time taking the top spot for the night. The club's monthly format pairs a first-time Rogue with the resident MC, and this one sees Hayward making her High Street bow. She's an award-winning comedian, named Best UK Compere in 2019 and a Holsten Pils 'Fans of Comedy' winner, and a regular compere at Glastonbury Festival. She's also a sought-after corporate performer for the likes of Virgin Media and Alcatel.
Beyond the stage, she's written for numerous Edinburgh Fringe shows and supported Sarah Millican, Russell Howard, Russell Kane, Hal Cruttenden and Suzi Ruffell. On the radio, she co-hosted BBC Radio Ulster's Tell Teresa, appeared in Mark Steel's Unite on BBC Radio 4, and co-hosts the podcast Spit or Swallow with Lou Conran. Opening the bill is Joe Dehuai, a writer for BBC Wales and a Bath Comedy Festival New Act finalist who has toured supporting Paul Hilleard. Resident MC Chris Barnes holds the night together.
