Comedy rock super star, Tim Minchin will be appearing, with material chosen from his back-catalogue of hilarious, scathing and often unsettlingly lovely songs.
“Tim Minchin comes on and the crowd explodes… the kohl-eyed, back-combed, piano-playing Minchin… lives up to the hype. A slight, barefoot figure, he is a consummate pianist as well as an excellent comedian.” – Daily Telegraph
"The Aussie minstrel succeeds where many have failed, marrying stand-up and symphonic music to thrilling effect." – The Guardian
Feisty, flirty and effortlessly funny she handles every subject with a razor sharp wit, softened only by her deliciously dizzy delivery and endless charm.
"Don’t be fooled by her innocent looks, she packs a deceptively powerful punch" – Evening Standard
"Britain’s best young female comic by any yardstick" – The Guardian
Charming and charismatic, a natural motor-mouth, Brighton’s Seann Walsh is the most frighteningly precocious talent to emerge from the UK comedy circuit in ages.
"… with the looks, gags and charm to become something quite special, Walsh is this generation’s Dylan Moran" – Time Out
"A solid gagsmith with a disarming presence" – The Independent
Alistair is a member of The Cutting Edge team at London's Comedy Store and has made numerous radio and television appearances across the world
"Excellent" - The Independent , "A class act" - The Scotsman, "Eloquent, slick and dynamic" - Chortle
Since leaving the world of Rap behind and starting out as a stand up in October 2008, Ben “Doc Brown” Smith has become a headline act
"Confidence-filled Doc Brown, a rapper-turned comic, looks as if he was born on stage" – Chortle
"Laziness and cowardice" is Kevin Eldon's excuse for his remarkable lifelong absence from solo standup. Remarkable, because Eldon is a doyen of UK comedy – a veteran of Brass Eye, Alan Partridge, and many more
"A seamless display of comedic versatility, pulling off the difficult trick of celebrating precisely what it mocks" – London Evening Standard
Frisky and Mannish is the cabaret comedy creation of Laura Corcoran and Matthew Jones. The subsequent buzz has cemented their reputation as one of the most sought-after acts on the circuit.
"On paper, it’s next-to impossible to do justice to what happens during a Frisky and Mannish gig…" – The Telegraph
One of the top comedians working in the UK today, as well as being a highly accomplished writer and actor.
"Without doubt, one of the funniest comics on the circuit - a very clever man indeed" – Time Out
Following a promising start in the Oxford Student Review and a year as David Miliband's personal jester, Graham Wilde decided to have a career break. His career now thoroughly broken, he returns to the stage to offer unique observations on the world of work, psychopathy, subatomic particles and the tragedy of haemorrhoids.
In the words of the Daily Mail's Toby Harnden, "Graham Wilde is not funny at all. He owes me money."
Has been lighting up the stand up scene for the last 20 years. Expect pontification, wry observations and self-aware commentary.
"If ever they make a series called Grumpy Old Men With The Demeanour Of Left-Wing University Lecturers, Ince would be a shoo-in." – Live Review
In three short years, Andi has made a big splash on the comedy scene, with much talked about appearances on Mock The Week, Tonightly and most recently Channel 4’s new topical show, Stand Up For The Week.
“Translating Osho’s words to the page doesn’t do her proper justice… her work is visual, narrative and pivots on her perfect delivery." – The Guardian
