Janice Phayre

"A skilled actress, Phayre dominates the room through sheer force of personality.with energised, impish charm, she passionately describes, and mimes the reactions that news receives shrieking, like her compatriot Graham Norton, with mock-outrage at her own boldness..she's simply a force to be reckoned with." - Chortle

"Janice Phayre slim, petite, extremely impish, and shows off some of her bottom. It's the start of a blissfully funny set.as much naughtiness as she can get away with (a lot). It's all delivered from a wholly innocent-looking (though mischievous as a pixie's) face - breathlessly - with large round eyes accessorised by remarkably mobile eyebrows. Wonderful, just fabulous." - Fringe Review

Steve Hall

Probably best known as being a third of the We Are Klang sketch group, Steve Hall is a superb stand-up in his own right and has provided support for Russell Howard on three of his sell-out national tours. Steve has been called a Steve Coogan 'lookalike and soundalike', which makes sense as they are distantly related through a convoluted web of Irish cousins. Hecklers tend to think Steve looks more like Mr Bean. Daily Telegraph Comedy Awards 2003 and BBC Comedy Awards 2003 runner-up.

Felix Dexter

Felix Dexter is an award winning comedian writer and actor. He is a law graduate and a member of one of the Inns of Court. This legal background is extremely useful in his standup comedy career, enabling him to baffle hecklers with the depth of his legal knowledge.

Felix has appeared to much critical acclaim in BBC2’S recent eight part character sketch show Bellamy’s people.

His TV credits include such landmark shows as: The Real Mc Coy, The Fast Show, Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge, Have I Got News For You, The Lenny Henry Show, Grumpy Old Men (over 35, just got in) and playing Saffy’s boyfriend in the last series of Absolutely Fabulous.

Neil McFarlane

Neil McFarlane has been performing on the Scottish comedy circuit for four years, and people are now quite regularly paying him to do so. Otherwise he refuses to vacate the stage. Lately he's also been gigging in the north of England, inspiring widespread panic. He writes all his own stuff (as far as he knows), has never considered dyeing his hair or changing his name, and is still wondering what happened to Level 42.

Relentlessly and unspeakably middle class, Neil has given up claiming in his act that he comes from Glasgow because he actually comes from Bearsden, which is a posh suburb of that city and therefore doesn't count. He has a reasonable day job, comes from a very secure and stable background with a good education and a high standard of living, and his parents are both still alive and happily married - all of which, from the perspective of artistic integrity and creative angst, are matters of intense irritation to him.

Michael Ayres

A Kiwi comedian with classic one-liners!

Matt Price

Matt Price was born and raised in Cornwall but now lives in London and works throughout the UK at weekend clubs as well as the University circuit and many independents. He has also played to audiences in Ireland, Germany, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates including the Abu Dhabi Hilton. He still makes it 'down home' to Cornwall from time to time, and occasionally comperes a gig in St.Ives. He is resident compere at the Phoenix comedy Club in Cardiff.

He has a proven ability to adapt to his audience. He can be affable compere, stand-up comic or storyteller, depending on the circumstances … often all three at the same time. Matt's material mutates to suit the mood of the room. In fact he never does *exactly* the same set twice because the gags, the stories, the anecdotes are linked on the fly with improvisation and banter. Neither does he always confine himself to the stage – in fact, he's been known on occasion to deliver half the set standing in the middle of the audience.

Geoff Whiting

Steve Gribbin

Steve Gribbin is a diminutive guitar-wielding satirist from Liverpool whose scabrous comedy songs and off the wall observations have made him one of the firm favourites of the comedy circuit. Steve's original comedy songs combine razor sharp lyrics with tunes that put their foot in the door of your mind and refuse to leave. Firmly based in rock 'n' roll and refusing to pull no punches, these are not the 'oh so witty' ditties of penguin-suited plink plonk piano playing posh gobs. They are that rarity - comedy songs which are actually funny.

For nine years Steve was the smaller one in the dynamic comedy duo Skint Video, stalwart's of the Edinburgh Festival, appearing on countless television programmes such as Saturday Live, radio such as The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and their own show in 1992/3 Songlines (BBC Radio 1). Skint Video went their different ways in 1993, since when Steve has been storming across the UK and Ireland as a solo artiste.

"Huge fan!" - The Sunday Times

"Absolutely Hilarious!" - HTV & Wales on Sunday

"My name is Infact Noel James, although I never pronounce the Infact…"

Craig Murray

Hailing from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire (a town otherwise famous for international terrorists, fake kidnaps and 'Britain's Best Market'), charming northerner Craig is currently one of the hottest rising talents on the comedy circuit.

Craig cut his comedy teeth as resident compere at award-winning London club "The Funny Side..." of Covent Garden sharing a stage with some of the very best comedy acts in the business including Harry Hill, Stewart Lee and even Hollywood legend Robin Williams. He rapidly became a master of the compere's art; able to turn any crowd from a lacklustre mob into a clapping, cheering, delirious audience ready to laugh all night.

Dan Bland

Dan Bland brings a touch of darkness to the comedy circuit. His morbidly deadpan disposition owes more to a grumpy undertaker than a genial stand-up comedian. But that funereal facade belies a devilish comic mind that has beguiled countless audiences. Delivering explosive one-liners with razor-sharp precision, deadpan Dan unfailingly ensures that he is the only person in the room to keep a straight face.

“Dan Bland is like a slow-burning explosive. His deliberate monotone delivery lulls you into a false sense of security, until you suddenly realise you’ve been hit in the face by a rapid-fire round of blistering one-liners.” Worksop Guardian.

Colin Cole

Colin is literally one of the biggest names in comedy in Australia - not only is he 6' 7", he is also known for his hugely dynamic performance. His delivery is fast and furious, and his material ranges from the topical to the observational.

As well as comedy. Colin has been an actor for many years, and in this field he is known for his versatility and he is a very much sought-after performer.

Colin Cole’s comedy TV credits read like a "'guide to Australian Television" they include hit shows such as ‘Hey Hey’, ‘The Max Gillies Show’ and ‘Bingles’.

He has toured extensively in the US, Canada and Hawaii, and now he’s also taking the UK by storm.

He’s been described by The New York Times as "One of the most exciting performers to come out of Australia since Skippy!"

Stephen Carlin

He is very enigmatic act, using a unique pattern of delivery to amuse the audience with very unexpected and off the wall references.

This man is well on his way to become Scotland's newest addition to its history of brilliant comedians.

Named by Stewart Lee as one of the ‘Ten Best Comedians in the World Ever’.

Performing to a more "mainstream audience" proved a challenge that John relished & he soon became a firm favourite of passengers and crew alike. Travelling from continent to continent has given John a wealth of experience to draw from and makes for an interesting yet hilarious set.

John has stirred away from progressing down the media route with radio and TV appearances preferring to perform live stand-up across the globe in places like: Abu Dhabi, Alicante, Amsterdam, Bahrain, Barcelona, Burma, The Caribbean, The Channel Islands, Dubai, Estonia, Hamburg, Ireland, Kenya, Munich, Russia, Stockholm

But only the faint-hearted or excessively squeamish failed to warm to such an amiable battering, and, after all, audience involvement is what stand-up is all about." - Bahrain Extra. Bahrain.

"He then gave way to Kevin Shepherd, who packed the next 20 or so minutes with as many jokes as some comedians manage in an hour. He switched between anecdotal and punchline based humour with ease, and left us eager for more." - BBC Lincolnshire.
