Hullarious in Progress: Rich Austin & Haseeb Malik

Rich Austin: Stone Cold Killer 

Rich Austin is "not the six-million-dollar man (but his performance was worth a million dollars)", nor is he a '90s wrestling celebrity but he does have "clever, well-structured material... daft and also funny".

Hull Comedy Festival regular since 2010, officially second-best compere at Cottingham Comedy Club "Yorkshire's Best Independent Comedy Club", Rich Austin is an acquired taste. A bit like earwax but earwax that is not to be missed!

If Rich Austin is the a-side, the Hull Comedy Festival stalwart within this context, then allow us to introduce his game apprentice on the night – Haseeb Malik.

Haseeb Milik: Cleaning Out My Closet 

Following his experience at last year’s festival, with his debut show ‘System up with the top down’, Haseeb is still not in a boyband and he never became friends with Anthony Costa. He’s not really in anything and barely has any friends, in fact his life is a bit of state.

Join him for another work in pro-jest quest to find order, find humour, find a friend, a date – literally anything! 

Described as, “an enjoyable act”, Haseeb Malik is the complimentary entrée you didn’t know you needed!
