A BIG night of stand‑up is heading to the coast this spring as the Rhyl Pavilion welcomes a packed bill of TV‑famous comedians.

Chukl. Rhyl is headlined by the multi‑award‑winning Russell Kane — for a one‑off evening of high‑energy laughs.

A top‑tier comedy line-up comes to Rhyl

The show brings together some of the sharpest names on the circuit, with Russell Kane leading a bill that also features Stephen Bailey, Sol Bernstein and Bennett Arron. It’s a rare chance for local audiences to see several major TV comics on the same stage.

Russell Kane

Known for his hyper‑energetic delivery and rapid‑fire punchlines, Russell Kane has become one of the UK’s most recognisable stand‑ups. His TV credits span Live at the Apollo, The One Show, Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, The Apprentice: You’re Fired, The Stand Up Sketch Show, Antiques Road Trip and regular appearances on Steph’s Packed Lunch.

He’s also a former winner of the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show — a marker of just how strong his live performances are.

Stephen Bailey

Warm, quick‑witted and brilliantly gossipy, Stephen Bailey is a familiar face from Live at the Apollo, Would I Lie To You?, Richard Osman’s House of Games, The Apprentice: You’re Fired and Celebrity Mastermind. He’s equally at home hosting, compering or delivering big, TV‑ready stand‑up.

Sol Bernstein

A cult favourite on the comedy circuit, Sol Bernstein bills himself as “the world’s oldest living Jewish comedian” — a sharp‑suited, old‑school nightclub act full of one‑liners, insults and gloriously exaggerated showbiz tales.

Bennett Arron

A BAFTA‑shortlisted documentary‑maker and award‑winning writer‑performer, Bennett Arron has extensive TV and radio credits, including BBC Radio 4’s Alone, Channel 4’s How To Steal An Identity, and writing for Have I Got News For You and Mock The Week.

What audiences can expect

With four very different performers on the bill, the night promises a mix of storytelling, crowd-work, sharp observational comedy and big, theatrical punchlines. It’s designed as a fast‑moving, high‑energy evening — the kind of show where no two acts feel alike.

Organisers are encouraging early booking, with demand expected to be strong for a line-up packed with familiar faces.

The show takes place at the Rhyl Pavilion on Thursday, May 21, from 7.30pm.
