Critically acclaimed comedy night featuring four of the very best stand-up comedians from the UK and international circuits.
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Tom Wrigglesworth
Tom is a frighteningly tall comedian, but a thoroughly nice man with a likeable stage presence and confident delivery. This Yorkshire funny man became a national have-a-go-hero when he rescued a little old lady from the jaws of Virgin train bureaucracy, only to be arrested for begging. He's also the winner of Channel 4's 'So You Think You're Funny?' competition. An articulate and natural raconteur, he possesses an innate ability to riff with an audience like they’re old friends. His warm and hilarious tales, told with true passion never fail to captivate the crowd. His television credits include Russell Howard’s Good News, Edinburgh Comedy Show, Live At The Comedy Store and Engineering Giants. 'Magical storytelling... a rare talent... hysterical and accomplished' (Time Out) 'The gods of comedy chose greatness for Tom' (The Scotsman).

Liam Withnail
'Cockney Motorhouse Liam Withnail has been entertaining the audiences of Scotland, and beyond for upwards of 6 years... hilarious storytelling, acute observations and unbelievable anecdotes' (<a href="http://www.seetickets.com)" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.seetickets.com)</a> 'Outrageously hilarious' (Adelaide Advertiser) 'Good, anarchic fun' (The Scotsman) 'MC Liam Withnail deserves a special nod for getting the pace of the gig just right, with some slick, fast-paced banter with the crowd. He kept roughly on time with 20 acts to get through, while making sure every competitor came out to a pumped-up audience' (The Skinny).

Since starting to do stand-up in her forties she has been enjoyed by critics and audiences alike. Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year finalist, British Comedian of the Year semi-finalist, Funny Women semi-finalist.

In addition to his stand-up talents, Tom is an accomplished actor and writer having penned and performed two one-man murder mysteries, A Charlie Montague Mystery: The Game’s a Foot, Try the Fish and The Man with the Twisted Hip.
