James Acaster

Winning over critics and fans alike, James Acaster has earned himself a reputation as one of the most hotly tipped acts of 2012. Effortlessly confident, James's appreciation for the whimsy and detail of everyday life are a breath of fresh air. His laid back style, playful wit and appetite for the unconventional make for an evening of mirth and hilarity, and a night in his company is a treat to behold. Since winning Laughing Boy New Act of the Year, James has gone from strength to strength appearing on Dave's One Night Stand, Russell Howard's Good News (BBC Three) and Show & Tell (E4) whilst also playing to over 100,000 people on tour with Milton Jones.

'Genuinely exciting' (The Daily Telegraph) 'A loveable monster' (The Scotsman) 'Funniest show on the Fringe' (The Evening Standard) 'Hysterical and terrifying' (Time Out) '... full-on assault on the senses of humour, dignity and pathos' (Chortle).

Milton Jones

Milton Jones? You know, the weird bloke with the shirts from Mock The Week! Comedian, writer and actor, whose stand-up is full of surrealism, nonsense and sharp wit. His style of humour is based on mostly one-liners involving puns. Jones has had various shows on BBC Radio 4, at the beginning of which he is sometimes announced as 'Britain's funniest Milton'. 'Sultan of the surreal' (The Guardian).'The best one-line merchant in British Comedy' (Chortle)..

Sara Pascoe

Sara Pascoe is a British writer, stand-up comedian and actress. She has appeared in a number of television programmes, as well as an all-female sketch show and her own Edinburgh show, and runs comedy club The House Of Mirth. Sara's stand-up is influenced by her joint favourite heroes, Jodie Marsh and Winston Churchill. 'Always intelligent and occasionally exquisite' (The Independent) 'Pascoe uses erudite references as just one strand of an offbeat worldview, offset by moments of gloriously deliberate dumbness and delivered with nothing less than full-megawatt charisma' (The Guardian) '... defiantly idiosyncratic and highly accessible' (Evening Standard).
