OK here’s the pitch:

MATT AND PHRED’S - Legendary Manchester nightspot, the jewel of the Northern Quarter, start and end of a thousand nights out.

STAND UP COMEDY - The greatest emerging art form of the last 50 years, the new rock and roll, speaking truth to power and nonsense to the people, ringing out with the sound of laughter in unison.

Put them together, and what do you get? The UK’s best up-and-coming comedians, riffing in a jazz club. No horns, no drums, no double bass, just great jokes.

HEADLINER:
PHIL ELLIS - Phil Ellis is an award-winning comedian who has entertained audiences of all ages with his amalgamation of off-beat observational material and physical comedy.
Phil won the Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Award’s panel prize in 2014 with his undisputed anarchic sleeper hit of a show Funz and Gamez. After meeting incredible critical acclaim, Funz and Gamez was broadcast as part of Fresh from the Fest (BBC Radio 4), as well as part of BBC Comedy Feeds (BBC Three). The show went on to have an 18-show run at the Soho theatre as well as a further run at the Udderbelly on Southbank.

OPENER:
HANNAH PLATT - Hannah is a stand-up comedian, writer and Finalist of the BBC New Comedian of the Year Award in 2019. Merseyside-via-Manchester's finest misanthrope has already been making her mark as a comic, having been described as 'A voice of a new generation’ by The Skinny and 'a voice with something to say’ by Chortle, never shying away from sensitive topics with brutal honesty and quick wit. Recently she has been commissioned to make a Laugh Lesson for BBC3 and written on the Now Show and The News Quiz for BBC Radio 4. She prides herself on her ability to take difficult and complex topics and turn them into sharp, refreshing gags.
