Alex's hysterically sarcastic material and brilliant deadpan delivery has audiences howling with laughter. She is one of the fastest rising stars on the comedy circuit and has proven herself to have a huge future in the industry, providing tour support for Hayley Ellis this year.

 Dominic Woodward.

Dominic's act is packed full of jokes, gags, banter, stories and a bit of daft comedy magic that involves the audience and always takes the roof off. He also beats the world record for speed balloon modelling every show - it's hilarious and a must-see!

With almost 20 years experience on the UK circuit he's a safe pair of hands. He's cheeky, charming, full of energy and hilarious.

There’s a naughty twinkle in his eyes but his act is warm, personal and inoffensive.

From the moment she put down the chalk brush and picked up a mic, playing to packed rooms has become like another day in the classroom for this former school teacher who is now hugely successful on the UK comedy scene after moving to Manchester.

 

Using her sassy blend of in-your-face stand-up and hilariously insightful commentary, Allyson is an international comedian and has played some of the best comedy clubs, It is her genuine and unique sense of humour, combined with excellent performance timing, that has made audiences laugh so much!
