COMEDY RAUL KOHLI @ BISHOP AUCKLAND TOWN HALL

Words: Cameron Wright

Raul Kohli is a name that anyone familiar with Newcastle’s comedy scene should be aware of. The comedian’s act is a confident explosion of ideas, swagger and charm. One of the few Asian comedians to have grown up in the North East, this Geordie comic has a unique perspective on life that he isn’t afraid to quip about in detail.

Balancing his cheeky wit with a knack for incisive political comedy, Kohli takes his audience on a journey with his inventive storytelling and endearing charm. Each time I’ve caught Kohli on the bill of a comedy show, regardless where his slot is, the comic makes an impact; loud and proud, he’s a fantastic comic that Newcastle is proud to boast about. Joining Kohli for a night of laughs at Bishop Auckland’s Town Hall on Friday 16th June is a veritable feast of varied comedy styles. Ranging from the improvisational duo The Halls of Ridiculous, to the musical stylings of Alex Camp, the night contains a little bit of everything, and compere Sammy Dobson, who you may recognise from recent episodes of Meet The Richardsons, will keep everything running seamlessly.

Raul Kohli, The Halls of Ridiculous, Alex Camp and Sammy Dobson perform at Bishop Auckland Town Hall on Friday 16th June. www.hilaritybites.co.uk
