Toby Hadoke

  • Actor
  • Additional Crew
  • Writer
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Raised and educated in or around Ludlow in Shropshire.

Is also a stand-up comedian, and the regular compere at his own award winning XS Malarkey Comedy Club in Manchester. Also plays at The Comedy Store, The Frog and Bucket and many others. He won the very first Les Dawson Award in 2003.

Contarary to some opinions, he does NOT play himself in Phoenix Nights (2001) episode five. Just by coincidence, Peter Kay cast a comedian as a comedian, but the lines he uses and character he assumes were written by Kay and are nothing like Hadoke's stand-up or stage persona.

Is part of The Unbroadcastable Radio Show, a topical sketch show performed at The Comedy Store once a month (it was nominated for Best Touring Show and Best Comedy Writing at The North West Comedy Awards 2004).

Stage credits include: The Maniac in Accidental Death Of An Anarchist (Edinburgh) 1996; Angelo in the world premiere of Shumann's Genoveva (Opera North) 2000, Tom Snout in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at The Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester 2002, The EmCee in "Sherlock Holmes in Trouble" (Royal Exchange) and Freddie Miles in "The Talented Mr Ripley" (Dukes, Lancaster).

    • Quotes
      I feel a bit like Doctor Who (1963). All the pretty girls need him to get them out of scrapes, but if there's any snogging to do they go to someone else.
