Hilarious comedy at The Met on the First Thursday of every month.

Justin Moorhouse introduces Tom Deacon and Hayley Ellis (plus a third act to be confirmed) at The Met.

Tom Deacon

Tom Deacon has been performing live stand-up for the last seventeen years – with four Edinburgh solo shows under his belt – and has been the host of his own TV, radio and online shows on BBC2, BBC Radio1, The Capital FM breakfast show, plus host of Gfinity Esports shows and YouTube football channel Copa90 – where his Eurofan escapades have notched up over 8 million views.

Tom has made guest appearances on The Rob Brydon Show and Dave’s One Night Stand.

Hayley Ellis

Hayley Ellis is a comedian, actress and human being! A seasoned comedy circuit veteran, she regularly supports John Bishop, Sarah Millican and Jason Manford on their tours and 2023 sees Hayley touring her new show Hayley’s Comic which rides on the success of last year’s The Invisible Mam.

Hayley has contributed material to the Russell Howard’s Good News, for 8 out of 10 Cats and Radio 4’s Newsjack. She has also appeared on MTV’s “Why Aye Love Geordie Shore” Virgin TV’s “Comedy Set Lists” and occasionally pops up on Absolute Radio.

“A joy to watch” Sarah Millican
“Outstanding.” Rock Radio
“A proper comic” Jason Manford
“Sharp, clever, and very funny” Sunday Post

Justin Moorhouse

Justin Moorhouse shouldn’t need any introduction to Bury’s comedy fans. Whether you’ve seen him here, on tour, at The Comedy Store, London, on QI, Coronation Street, Celebrity Mastermind, Live At The Apollo, Dave’s One Night Stand or even Phoenix Nights (ask your mum), you’ll know why he is constantly in demand as one of the UK’s funniest performers. Peerless performance skills backed by an arsenal of carefully crafted routines and tightly written gags make Justin a surefire success in front of any audience as thousands of fans will gladly testify.

“If good old-fashioned joke-telling is your thing, then Justin Moorhouse is your man” Fest

First Thursday Comedy at The Met is booked by Comedy In A Van.
