THE LYCETT ARMS

Well done to Darrin, Sarah, Grace, and everyone at the Tipsy Toad for getting on TV!

Being selected out of so many pubs all across the country is a massive testament to the Toad and its regulars!

Some of you eagle-eyed viewers may have even spotted a wild Connor Read sitting in his prime location.

To which you may ask, ‘Connor, did you sit through a production meeting, a rehearsal, and a live telly recording only to end up with no lines because Lenny Henry took up too much airtime?’

To which I simply reply, ‘Allegedly.’

All jokes aside, the Tipsy Toad is an amazing venue with a myriad of events each and every month.

Toadstool Comedy is one of them!

Catch us on Friday, 25th September, by grabbing a ticket on Eventbrite

🌟 IT’S TIME TO GO-GO 🌟

It’s all came and gone so fast!

Some of the things we do in comedy are just for the love of the game—true comedy masochists, really.

But what we couldn’t have expected was the incredible support we received along the way.

Starting with a sold out show at Heaton Pride to moving to an even larger venue for Durham Fringe Festival.

Needless to say, we couldn’t have done it without an audience. Thank you all so much for coming out and cheering us on!

A huge thank you to Heaton Pride, our venue Last Resort, and their staff for hosting our sold-out show.

And a huge thank you to Durham Fringe Festival, their wonderful volunteers, and our venue, Fabio’s Bar.

And of course, a HUGE thanks to Pheebs Stephenson. It’s a real comedy milestone to perform your first split-bill comedy show— Thank you so much for trusting me to be apart of yours!

🎭 THE LIVE THEATRE 🎭

A HUGE THANK YOU to the Live Theatre!

Who’d have thought that from my first performance with the Live Theatre’s Youth Theatre back in 2018, to performing my first ever stand-up comedy show in the top-floor studio, I’d still be knocking around the place nearly a decade later.

Talk about overstaying your welcome…

Performing earlier this month as part of their Live Theatre Scratch Night, as well as participating in their Introduction to Playwriting course.

To receive such ongoing support and nurture all these years on, you can never take it for granted.

Fun Fact: Bobby Thompson opened the theatre on the 10th of July, 1986.

Realising I was performing on the same stage nearly exactly 40 years to the day was pretty special.

Finally, enjoy swiping to see me in the dressing room serving Norman Bates Fantasy…
