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.

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).
