Elgar Comedy: Sheeps & Hayley Ellis

As part of its remit as a leading UK charity, the Hall supports young people who might otherwise have little opportunity to experience live performance. The Elgar Room is part of London’s most iconic entertainment venue and offers a vibrant, contemporary arena where the Hall can continue its vision to expand public access to diverse, affordable shows and encourage new audiences into the building.

Sheeps is a sketch group containing Daran Johnson, Alastair Roberts and Liam Williams. From skits to sketches, from jokes to gags - there’s something here for all fans of contemporary sketch-comedy. Think The Two Ronnies meets Sheeps, and then The Two Ronnies leave.

“One of the most exciting sketch acts to emerge in years” Time Out
“Most definitely one to watch” The Independent

Described by Chortle comedy critic Steve Bennett as an act with the capacity to write “scenes that could easily wind up in sitcoms", Manchester comedian and regular contributor to XFM's Breakfast Show, Hayley Ellis has gone from strength to strength since she began performing in April 2009.
