Omid Djalili -

One of Britain's freshest and most original comics, this short, fat British-born Iranian hams the accent and underlines the cliches before pulling the Persian rug from under the audience.

Omid also dabbles in the film industry recently appearing alongside Jude Law in 'Sky Captain The World Of Tomorrow', 'Anita & Me' and 'Gladiator'.

Phill Jupitus -

This popular stand-up and TV comedian is well-known for his appearances on the pop music quiz show Never Mind The Buzzcocks. His career as a performer began in 1984 when he quit his job as a civil servant to follow a new direction as a performance poet on the alternative comedy circuit and supporting bands such as The Style Council and The Housemartins. During the late '80s he worked Billy Bragg, directing videos for both Bragg and Kirsty MacColl. Phill has an abiding love and in-depth knowledge of popular music, particularly ska, bluebeat and rhythm & blues. His hugely successful standup tours have included Jedi, Steady, Go and Quadrophobia, and he has worked extensively on radio, variously as a contributor, panellist and presenter. He has also been touring as part of The Blockheads line-up.
