Next comedy quiz headliner revealed

Surreal Geordie comedian Jack Gardner will headline the Giggle Beats Comedy Quiz when it returns next month.

Jack will bring his ‘strange happenings’ to The Stand Comedy Club, Newcastle, for the next quiz marathon on Sunday 5 October. He joins host Lee Kyle for the only quiz that puts your comedy knowledge to the test.

Jack’s been performing stand-up since 2010 and was previously one fifth of the absurd sketch group, The Animals of Butter Bridge. He is currently running his own alternative comedy night, Silly Billies Comedy, at The Cumberland Arms in Newcastle.

Former Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Dr Brown says that Jack “takes risks most comics are too scared to take and reaps the rewards big time.

“He’s totally mad and his ideas and performance make one piss themselves with laughter. It’s silly, imaginative, risk-taking stuff and the audience loves him for that.”

Tickets for October’s Giggle Beats Comedy Quiz are £3. You can book your team by calling The Stand box office on 0844 693 3336.

Prizes include a three-course meal for two at The Stand bistro, comedy tickets, DVDs and more.
