Dan Evans
For over a decade, Dan's twisted logic has been gladdening Stand Up Comedy audiences across the UK and Ireland.
His appearances on TV and Radio include BBC 2's Brain Candy, Channel 5 at The Store, The Channel 5 Comedy Zone, the Radio 2 Stand Up Show and 28 acts in 28 minutes on Radio 4. He can write too, with credits including the Sony Award winning Very World of Milton Jones, Rory Bremner Who Else, The Eleven O'Clock Show and The Joan Rivers Position.
Ben Van Der Velde
Ben Van der Velde is a stand-up comedian, actor, improviser and presenter.
Over the past decade he has spread joy and nonsense to all four corners of the British Isles, as well as Greece, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Estonia, Latvia, Finland and Norway.
Alistair Barrie
Alistair Barrie is one of the top headliners on the international comedy circuit. A regular at London’s world-famous Comedy Store, he has performed in over 40 countries including acclaimed performances in Australia, Cape Town, Mumbai, New Zealand and the legendary Comedy Cellar in New York.
He has made countless appearances at UK music festivals including Glastonbury, Latitude, Bestival and Green Man and taken several solo shows to The Edinburgh Festival. His 2013 and 2015 shows were nominated for ‘Best Show at The Fringe’ with the latter transferring to London for a run at The Soho Theatre, and he was runner-up in the 2015 English Comedian of the Year.

Roger Monkhouse
One of the most intellectual comics in the business, Roger Monkhouse oozes class with every syllable he utters, be it a wry observation or a witty oneliner, all delivered with a laconic, urbane Surrey posh accent, that has not been crushed by far too many years living in the north of the country.
A comedy club owner himself when he is not performing, Roger knows exactly what an audience wants and delivers it with a deadly combination of charm and as the equally cerebral critic put it: ''he packs in more observations on the human condition in a twenty minute set than a whole lecture on Jean-Paul Satre''.
Ashley Frieze
With his charming, daft, and warm brand of music-infused stand-up comedy, this guitar-toting funny man has been entertaining audiences across the UK for over 20 years. His original songs, with well-crafted lyrics and catchy tunes, span many genres from Jazz to Coldplay.
Ashley has something for most audiences. Intelligent, geeky, silly, and occasionally naughty; he's playful but never rude!
