Ripping Yarms is a brand spanking new comedy club coming to The Princess Alexandra Auditorium on Sunday 15th May. 

Expect a night of laugh-out-loud comedy showcasing the best up and coming acts from across the UK. 

Local favourite Jason Cook will be the MC holding the show together with his razor sharp Geordie wit. A relaxed and natural talent, Jason’s skills with an audience are like no other. He’s chatty and cheeky, and able to handle the rowdiest of crowds with the most ruthless of cut downs – hecklers beware! 

Kicking the night off is satirical comic Tez Ilyas (The Tez O’Clock show – Channel 4), whose observational humour about life as a British Muslim is “shockingly, painfully sharp” (The Telegraph). He is “radiantly entertaining” (The Times), and sure to have you howling. 

Yorkshire lass Maisie Adam (Live at The Apollo, Mock The Week) brings a high energy, quirky and quick witted performance to the stage with her self-deprecating humour described as “phenomenal” by The Scotsman. 

Going out with a bang, we bring you Paul Sinha aka The Sinnerman (The Chase). He may be best known for his nerdy quizzing skills, but prepare to see another side to the beloved TV talent as he closes the show with his disarming and endearing style. Full of self reflection and opening a window to life as a gay Indian man living in the UK, Paul will end the night on a high proving himself to be “one of our most thoughtful and enjoyable comedians” (The Times).

Join us for an evening of laughter at The Princess Alexandra Auditorium
