Arthur Smith

Comedian, compere and playwright. This grumpy old man per excellence presents the BBC Radio 4 show 'Excess Baggage' and has written four plays including 'An Evening With Gary Lineker' and 'Live Bed Show'. His stand-up topics range from vigorous yodelling to mediaeval literature via death by drink. His delivery is relaxed and sardonic, but his shows are a surprising, dark and witty treat. He's also one of the many 'Grumpy Old Men' that appear on BBC 2's hit show. 'The funniest and most honest comic of his generation' (The List).

Rosie Holt

Rosie Holt burst onto the comedy scene 2013 when she won So You Think You Write Funny: The Sitcom Trials. She went on to write and star in Fall Girl at the Gilded Balloon in a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival 2014. Punk playwright Mark Ravenhill described Rosie thus, "If Miranda Hart had Satan's Love child it would be Rosie Holt". Her one woman show in 2015 was a funny, filthy look at dating from a performer whose neuroses tie her up into even tighter knots of fantasy. Charming and hilariously personal, Rosie's musical comedy is wonderful to watch. 'Refreshing and very funny' BroadwayBaby.com
