    The Square on Spring Bank is relaunching its open mic night next Thursday 23rd Oct.



    There's a free buffet for everyone and a free drink for all the performers. This is a really cool venue and could become a favourite for local musicians, comedians and poets.



    Anyone fancy doing a spot?

    Let me know

About me:

.. .. ..
The Hull Blokes first came together in 2002 as part of a BBC initiative to encourage original writing in the UK's provincial regions. The Blokes worked alongside the BBC and playwright Gill Adams to create a six-part comedy-drama, entitled King Of The Road, which was broadcast on Radio Humberside during the Spring of 2003.

The success of King Of The Road was a great launch pad for The Blokes and they followed this up in November 2003 with the first of their regular appearances at the annual Humber Mouth Literary Festival. Directed by Sarah Brigham, of the West Yorkshire Playhouse and York’s Theatre Royal, their multi-faceted style delighted audiences, and the Hull Blokes' name started to become increasingly familiar around the Yorkshire region’s entertainment circles.

More productions were put on throughout 2004 and 2005 - sometimes at The Dorchester Hotel, and increasingly at The Ringside pub’s upstairs performance room – until The Blokes were asked to take up a residency at The Northern Academy of Performing Arts, Hull. Their first offering was entitled “Northern Conspiracy” and, with the guiding hand of NAPA’s acclaimed resident Director Andy Pearson on board, it showcased a collection of some of The Blokes’ best comedy and drama pieces to date.

In their time at NAPA The Hull Blokes have evolved to offer multimedia pieces, film, animation and music, drawing on their multi-faceted talents. As well as these new areas of multiplatform 360° creativity and production, they continue to offer cutting-edge humour and thought-provoking drama with carefully crafted writing at its heart, all brought to life under Andy Pearson's expert direction.

In June 2007 The Blokes premiered their first full length play - “Tossa’s in Spain” - to great acclaim. The show brought together many of the high quality ingredients that Hull Blokes’ audiences had come to expect, while developing their writing and acting to an altogether new level.

It is a fitting tribute to The Hull Blokes’ ability to adapt and grow that, of all the groups created from that initial BBC project, they are the only one still writing and performing today.

The current Blokes line-up is as follows:

Andy Hampel - writer, film-maker and actor
Bernie Laverick - writer and actor
Gus Wilson - writer and actor
John Allbones - writer and actor
Mark Pollard - actor and writer-who-can't-be-arsed-to-write
Paul Route - writer
Sean Wilson - writer and actor
Steve Kerry - writer and actor
Steve "Kippa" Wilson - writer and actor
Wayne Dewsbury - writer and actor

Andy Pearson - Director and Honorary Bloke
