Heavy Petting, Al Greaves, Stanley Brooks

York's new alternative comedy solution returns to break 2015 with sketch comedy from headline act 'Heavy Petting!'

Middlesbrough's second tallest sketch group will make you laugh with their darkly funny sketches, jokes and faces. Warning: show contains comedy and hammers. Shortlisted last year for Hat Trick comedy's Short and Funnies award, Heavy Petting have written for Vic and Bob, Susan Calman and MC Hammer (that last one is not true). ‘Thoroughly entertaining … comically sinister… lively and unique… Will leave you feeling wickedly uplifted’ ???? (ThreeWeeks).

'The performers are energetic and hilarious, setting up good punch lines and the odd bemusing non-joke which still evokes the right kind of chuckles from the audience - Each member of the Heavy Petting team has a unique style and the group work well together, bouncing off one another, showing good chemistry and a flair for wacky inventiveness - considerably better than some of the comedy shows you’d pay about eight quid to see! ???? (Broadway Baby).

Support comes from Al Greaves who will be performing part 2 of his show 'Al Greaves The Music Al' (it's a non linear narrative) and character comedy from hotly tipped newcomer 'Stanley Brooks'.
