Pat Cahill

Combining off-beat jokes with songs about dying pets and choice fatigue, Cahill's unpretentiously surreal and absurd outlook has seen him win the NATY 2012, Chortle Best Newcomer 2012, Amused Moose Laugh-Off 2011 and Cavendish Arms New Act 2011. He has also made waves on BBC's Chris Moyles' Comedy Empire, Dave's One Night Stand and with his BBC music video Chick n Mix.

"This quirky performer has true star quality and bags of originality, mixing physical humour, gimmicks, wordplay and comedy songs. Imagine a cross between Sean Lock and Eddie Izzard and you might be getting somewhere, but nowhere close." - Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard
