Chucklehound is my first-ever solo show. I'll be taking it to a few festivals, and during the show will talk about my mental health (poor), my dog Eric (legend) and my sex life (woeful). Come along, and you're guaranteed to go home feeling better about your own life. "Graeme's talent as a raconteur instils the audience with confidence. The laughs come thick and fast" (Lancashire Post)"Rayner's closing routine was rock solid and hit a high" (Notts Comedy Review)"Graeme has the stage craft and poise of a true pro. Excellent comic timing and quick on his feet. How he isn't a regular at every big club in the country is unfathomable" (Barnsley Comedy Shop)"One of the best MCs around, second only to Jonathan Mayor" (Leeds Laughter Lounge)Made me laugh out loud." (David Baddiel)"Very good at smut. Very relatable" (Meryl O'Rourke)"Bloody hilarious" (Simon Brodkin)

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
