Comedy fans are in for a treat this autumn as Funny Beeseness returns to Walsall Arena with two major stand-up nights featuring some of the biggest names on the UK comedy circuit.

The first show takes place on Friday 4 September, with TV presenter and comedian Joel Dommett headlining the bill. Best known for hosting The Masked Singer and appearing on Taskmaster and Live at the Apollo, Dommett will be joined by acclaimed stand-up Darren Harriott and rising comedy star Louise Young. Resident MC Wayne Beese will host the evening.

Harriott is a double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee whose television credits include Dancing on Ice, Guessable and Don’t Hate the Playaz, while Newcastle comedian Louise Young has quickly become one of the UK’s most exciting emerging talents, earning an Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nomination for her debut show Feral.

The laughs continue on Saturday 7 November when comedy and television favourite Brian Conley heads to Walsall Arena for another Funny Beeseness special. Conley, whose career spans more than four decades across television, theatre and stand-up, will headline a line-up that also includes Birmingham comedian Lindsey Santoro and circuit favourite President Obonjo, with Wayne Beese once again serving as host.

Santoro has become one of the West Midlands’ most celebrated comedy voices, receiving major acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe and appearing on programmes including Live at the Apollo and The Stand-Up Sketch Show. President Obonjo, meanwhile, has built a devoted following with his unique satirical character comedy and popular social media appearances.

Both shows are for audiences aged 16 and over and promise an evening packed with top-quality stand-up from established stars and rising talent alike. Tickets are available now at walsallarena.com.
