Bradford's Darley Street Market Welcomes Trio of TV Stand Ups for Second Comedy in the Kitchen

Award-winning comedian Mick Ferry will top the bill at the second Comedy in the Kitchen event at Darley Street Market this November, as the city centre venue continues to build its programme of entertainment and events for Bradford residents and visitors.

Following the success of the inaugural comedy night earlier this year, a fresh line-up of stand-up talent will take to the stage in the Darley Street Kitchen on Thursday 26 November, with the show starting at 7pm. Tickets are available now.

Mick is a former winner of the prestigious Comedian's Comedian Award, voted for by his fellow stand ups. Known for his distinctive deadpan style, he has appeared on The Comedy Store for Comedy Central, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, The Football's On, Edinburgh Comedy Fest Live and The World Stands Up.

Joining him on the gag heavy bill will be:

• Liam Farrelly - Scottish Comedian of the Year, Live at the Apollo performer, Frog and Bucket's World Series winner and BBC New Comedy Award finalist. Beyond The Joke said: "Get used to the Kevin Bridges comparisons."
• Karen Bayley - Komedia Award winner and Funny Women finalist who has appeared on The Comedy Store Live and Comedy Central and supported Joe Lycett on tour. Alan Carr said: "She has me in stitches."
• Robby T - UK Pun Championship winner and London Evening Standard Critic's Choice.
• DeeJay Khalda - Bradford's own Comedy Roast-winning storyteller.

Returning as compere for the evening will be Anthony J Brown, described by the Metro as having "more stings in the tail than a scorpion with a migraine". Brown is also a Yorkshire Comedy Awards Best Promoter winner.

The first Comedy in the Kitchen event, held in July, was a sell-out success, with audience members describing the evening as "great", praising the "top drawer" acts and calling for more comedy nights at the venue.

Food and drink will be available before the show and during the intervals, giving visitors the chance to enjoy the independent food and drink businesses based in the Darley Street Kitchen while taking in an evening of live comedy.

Councillor Ian Walker, Bradford Council's Executive Member for Neighbourhoods and Communities, said: "It's fantastic to see Comedy in the Kitchen returning to Darley Street Market after such a successful debut earlier this year. Bringing high-quality live entertainment into the heart of Bradford city centre helps make the market an even more vibrant destination, attracting people into the city and supporting our traders and businesses. With a great mix of established acts and local talent, including Bradford's own DeeJay Khalda, this promises to be another fantastic evening for residents and visitors alike."
