Phil Nichol

A barnstorming, madcap Canadian stand-up comedian who was voted Time Out Comedian of the Year 1999, and was a Perrier nominee in 2002. Totally unpredictable; those with a heart condition be warned!

Lucy Porter

Diminutive stand-up comedian making a big name for herself. Within seconds of appearing on stage, her flirty, gossipy, effervescent style charms everybody! She has written for many top comedians, including Johnny Vaughan, Gail Porter and Griff Rhys Jones, and starred on many TV stand-up comedy shows. 'Clever, chatty and charming' (Three Weeks) 'Impeccably punch-lined anecdotes of the everyday... genuinely delightful' (The Daily Telegraph) 'She is like your witty friend who's always brilliant company down the pub. Many stand-ups would give their non-drinking arms to be able to transfer that kind of sparkling bar-room bonhomie to the stage and Porter does it effortlessly' (The Scotsman).

Paul Sweeney

'Brilliant bubbly personality, bursting with talent' (Funny, Free, Fringe) 'Paul Sweeney swishes about the stage like a surreal tea caddy' (Paul Foot) '... he's fresh, funky, new and original, a breath of fresh air on the comedy circuit' (Patrick Monahan) 'Intriguing and memorable' (Chortle).
