Quip Shed Comedy is excited to be back for a night of award winning comedy at Bel & The Dragon, Churt! 

On Thursday 12th June we have comedy circuit legends Aideen McQueen, Sam Picone, and headliner is TV's Russel Hicks! The evening will be hosted by master MC Ross Smith! 

Ross Smith is a regular face (and voice) at some of the country's top comedy clubs. With the ability to read the room like a 30 year veteran, Ross has built a reputation for being a very reliable MC. Or at least he has for us! 

Ross has appeared in Karl Pilkington sitcom 'sick of it' plus Apple TV + Series ‘Slow Horses’. 

Joel Dommett described him as 'one of my favourite new acts'. And Nish Kumar called his comedy 'hilarious and original'. 

In 2018 he made headlines around the world when he agreed to go on holiday with complete strangers, taking the place of another man called Ross Smith. His viral adventure and the aftermath is the subject of his debut Edinburgh show, I Am Ross Smith.  

Aideen McQueen is one of the brightest sparks in the new generation of Irish comics. She’s sassy, sexy, saucy and side-splittingly funny. Aideen appears regularly on RTE, TG4, BBC Northern Ireland and BBC Radio 4. She is one of the resident comperes at the world famous International Comedy Club in Dublin and has appeared alongside Sean Hughes, Reginald D Hunter, Ardal O’ Hanon, Dylan Moran, Johnny Vegas, Phil Kay and Frankie Boyle.  

Described by UK comedy heavyweight Mo Gilligan as “a natural on stage”, Sam Picone is a London based comedian, writer & content creator. Expect sharp observations, delivered with a knowingly dry wit. He’s written on comedy shows for Channel 4, the BBC and has racked up tens of millions of views on social media with his viral sketches.  

Russell Hicks is one of the UK’s most razor-sharp and exciting comic talents. An American based in London, he is a provocative and exuberant comedian with a rockstar edge, and has appeared on some of the UK’s biggest TV networks, including Channel 4, BBC and ITV. 

Russell headlines at every major club across the UK, including The Stand, Glee Club and Up the Creek, and holds a residency at Top Secret Comedy Club in London. 

He also compères major events like the Leeds and Reading Festivals, as well as curated indie venues, historic theatres like the Hammersmith Apollo, and private members clubs across Europe. 

Russell regularly entertains studio audiences at Have I Got News For You, The Last Leg, and As Yet Untitled. He is a Spotlight registered actor and enjoys both comic and dramatic roles. This is alongside his Stateside work with legendary Hollywood clubs The Comedy Store, The Improv and The Laugh Factory. 

We cannot wait to see you there! 

Please note that the line-up is subject to change and this event is for people over the age of 18.
