FILTHY FRIDAYS with Nick Helm and Special Guests

Filthy Fridays is back with another incredible night of comedy!

NICK HELM - THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND!

Nick Helm first took to the stand-up comedy stage in 2007 and quickly became a circuit legend with his tour de force of one-liners, stories, poems and jokes. Since then, he’s become one of Britain’s most loved comedians for his multiple, memorable and moving television appearances, his critically acclaimed writing and his legendary rollercoaster live shows.

Across the years, Nick has taken multiple mega hit shows to the Edinburgh Fringe including the must-see Keep Hold of the Gold, the Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated Dare to Dream and the completely sold out This Means War. In 2017, he embarked on his first full tour, hitting 25 dates across the UK with his hilarious show There Is Nothing You Can Do To Me That I Haven’t Already Done To Myself. He also released two successful albums Nick Helm is F*cking Amazing and Hot ‘n’ Heavy, which feature hit songs from his solo shows and are available on iTunes and Bandcamp.

Nick has become a firm TV favourite having appeared on multiple shows both acting and as himself. He was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award for his starring role in critically acclaimed BBC Three sitcom, Uncle, and also played the adorable Watto is Channel 4’s Loaded which was later broadcast on AMC in America. He’s also fronted his own food travelogue show Eat Your Heart Out with Nick Helm on Dave and his own high-octane variety show Nick Helm’s Heavy Entertainment on BBC Three. This is all in addition to his other unforgettable TV appearances such as 8 Out of 10 Cats, Russell Howard’s Good News and Celebrity Mastermind.

He’s also in high demand as a talented writer. His short film Elephant which he co-wrote, directed and starred in was nominated for a Bafta for best short film and a Broadcast Digital Award. He is currently developing it into a feature film. He also wrote and starred in the BBC short The Killing Machine which was co-produced by Baby Cow and Nick’s own production company Fancy Pants.

So, come to his live shows, watch his appearances on TV, enjoy his words and experience for yourself the man, the myth and the legend.

JOE FOSTER

Joe Foster is a stand-up comedian from Brighton with a dry wit and likeable persona which has established him as a firm favourite with audiences and promoters alike. In 2015 Joe won the Fosters South Coast Comedian Of The Year Competition which cemented his reputation as one of the fresh new voices on UK comedy circuit.

Winner of Foster’s South Coast Comedian of the Year 2015

“He tells them well, with an off-hand wit” Chortle

“Tightly written and very funny material” Latest 7

“Reassuringly confident” The List

ELAINE FELLOWS

She was recently tour support for Colin Hoult’s ‘Death of Anna Mann’ Tour. Accolades include: Komedia Comedy Award Finalist 2023. Hastings Newcomer of the Year Runner Up 2022. 2Northdown Comedy Finalist 2022. South Coast Comedian of the Year Finalist 2022.

“Absolutely fantastic. A star in the making”- Brighton Grin

“Likeable, funny and endearing.” – Three Weeks Edinburgh

COMPERE: ANTHONY AYTON

Being a London kid who was the first black guy at an all-white boarding school, Anthony has a unique and hilarious perspective on life which he weaves skillfully with plenty of very funny jokes, getting big laughs with all types of audience.

After winning a public speaking competition (judged by the now disgraced former MP Jonathan Aitken), Anthony decided he would use his debating skills to become a criminal lawyer. His “career” however turned out to be a massive disappointment, nothing like LA Law at all, and with this Anthony finally realised he actually wanted to be a comedian all along. In a short few years he has developed his own comedic voice and is deservedly rising up the comedy ladder.

In November 2021 Anthony came 4th in the incredibly tough British Comedian Of The Year London semi-final which included eventual winner Jeff Innocent and the highly skilled Mike Gunn. He is now getting booked for many of the major clubs in the UK and more than holding his own with circuit headliners and other upcoming acts.

Anthony is available for live comedy, corporate events and acting roles.

“British stand up welcomes the very clever Anthony Ayton” – Reginald D Hunter

“I love Anthony Ayton, he’s clever, a bit cheeky, and bloody funny” – Angela Barnes
