Hop & Hazlewood Comedy Club | 30th Jan '26 | Paul Tonkinson, Alex Boardman & Maxine Wade

Comedy returns to Tyldesley for 2026 - featuring the very best comedians in the country, headlined by circuit legend PAUL TONKINSON! 🤣

PAUL TONKINSON

A sensational live performer, Yorkshire man, marathon runner and former (double award-winning) Time Out Comedian of the Year, Paul Tonkinson has long upheld his esteemed reputation as one of the finest stand-ups the UK has to offer.

As seen on Michael Mcintyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Live From The Comedy Store and The World Stands-up. Back in the day, when he was a mere whippersnapper, he had a stint presenting Channel 4’s The Big Breakfast and has also presented radio shows on XFM in London and Manchester.

“Hilarious, nobody makes me laugh like Paul Tonkinson…go see him!" – Michael McIntyre

ALEX BOARDMAN

Alex Boardman is a UK comedian who has performed comedy all over the world and has several MC residencies at comedy clubs all over the UK. As well as performing comedy for adults, Alex is also the MC and co-founder of “Comedy Store for Kids”.

Also Featuring...

MAXINE WADE

With blue hair and head-to-toe in leopard print, Maxine Wade certainly cuts a distinctive figure on stage, part Bet Lynch, part Just Stop Oil protester by her own description. Indeed much of her set can be surmised as ‘what am I like?!’, from those bold fashion choices to the lack of decorum in her day job as a nurse.
