The Unusual Suspects premieres at Hot Water Comedy Club, Sunday, November 23rd, 2025 @7pm.

Get ready for a stand-up comedy show like no other — a night of chaos, characters, and comedy that’ll leave you saying:
“WTF have we just seen?”
This isn’t your average line-up. It’s a rogues’ gallery of in-character comedians, each more bizarre and brilliant than the last. Expect the unexpected, and then some.

Headliner:
The phenomenal Joe Kent-Walters as Frankie Monroe – a powerhouse performance that’ll blow your mind and bend your reality.

Joe is a multi-award-winning comedian and actor from Huddersfield. He has been delighting audiences up and down the country with his idiosyncratic style of outrageous character comedy, most notably with his comic creation Frankie Monroe.
His “mesmerising and unpredictable presence” (Chortle) performing as Frankie saw him win the 2023 BBC New Comedy Award after a “barnstorming” (Ibid) set at Glasgow’s Kings Theatre.
“Once seen, never forgotten, physically commands the stage and beyond… barnstorming nonsense” Chortle

Opening the night:
• Laurence Tuck – warming up the room with wit and weirdness.
Also featuring:
• Alan Fiddler – fiddling with the facts and your taste buds
• Mark Quinn – surreal, and suspiciously strange.
• Pierce Woodward – bringing the beautiful head wobbles
• Dick Cheaddar – Lycra-clad, gurning, and he may possibly be watching you.
