He gives his audience a taste of what it’s like to be the outsider, explaining cultural differences with hilarious results.

Opening the night will be Gary Delaney a regular guest on TV’s Mock The Week, who has appeared on Live at The Apollo and is also a writer for TV, radio and other comedians.

He was the only stand-up to have two of his jokes named in the top ten gags at 2010’s Edinburgh Fringe.

Well known for his taut, brilliant one-liners, Gary Delaney is very much in demand on the comedy circuit.

The large quantity of his quick-fire gags leaves his audiences struggling to remember them all.

Completing the line-up at Blisworth is the amiable and modest Alex Hylton, who captivates the room with his mix of witticisms and laid-back anecdotes while compere for the night is Barry Dodds.

Appearing in Towcester is Pete Phillipson. Originally from Lincolnshire but based in Manchester, he has been building a name for himself on the circuit as a very funny act over the last few years, mixing fast-paced observations and routines with wonderful characterisations.

Compere for the night will be Pete Teckman who has won an award at the Leicester Comedy Festival.
