Dee Allum
Dee Allum is a trans comedian, and the most interesting person to come out of Watford since Elton John.
Dane Buckley
The world's ONLY left-handed, Irish, Indian, gay comedian. Probably.
Kate Hammer
Anemic, Canadian, and disgusting.
Victoria Olsina
Victoria is the lesbian daughter of an Argentinian loanshark who came to the UK to steal jobs and steal women. So far she has only stolen the title of Semifinalist in the Funny Women Stage Awards 2020 and 2Northdown New Act Competition 2020.
Riggs
"Boundless energy and joyful story telling" - Russell Kane
Alex Stringer
“Alex is a natural comedic talent and even with 5 months away from stage, she stays hilarious and consistent” - Dane Baptiste
Dan Tiernan
25 year old, gay, high energy dypraxic Mancunian.
Maz Wallace
They're here, they're queer, they... can't remember what they came in for. Blending personal anecdotes with flights of fancy, Maz is warm, engaging, and highly distractable.
Chris Weir
Chris Weir is an Edinburgh based stand-up and comedy writer. He was described as “male” and “18-34” on a recent census. Will dance for food.
