“Can’t be contained and shouldn’t be missed” ????? Ed Fest Magazine

“He’s a comedy whirlwind from the school of Spike Milligan….. It’s risky to call someone unique, but Foot is certainly pretty close.” Three Weeks

“An exquisite symphony of jubilant madness” ???? Melbourne Age

“Utterly outlandish, but beneath layers of absurdity is Foot’s sharp eye for satire” ???? Time Out (Australia)

Mike Wilmot

The return of Canadian stand-up legend Mike Wilmot - as seen on Live at the Apollo and Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and as an actor in It's All Gone Pete Tong.

"A fast talking stand-up whose close-to-the-bone repertoire leaves the audience in a state of hilarity that most comedians can only dream of’ – The Sunday Times

‘Like any fine comedian, he exudes intelligence and sweat in equal measures, Wilmot can give any other stand-up alive lessons in the power of laughter to free us from the shackles of embarrassment’ – Time Out

‘At times raucous, offensive and downright crude, he was nonetheless very, very funny producing belly cackles of genuine mirth throughout… this was a most entertaining experience’ – The Scotsman

Adam Hess

Ace young stand-up - nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2015 Edinburgh Comedy Awards. As seen on @elevenish, Live at the Palladium and Live From the BBC.

‘For good quality gags per minute, there is no better comedian’ The Independent

‘Relentlessly entertaining, full of beautiful imagery’ Time Out

‘One of the most out and out hilarious shows on the fringe’ Chortle

James Loveridge MC

Fast rising stand-up, James Loveridge is one of the most charming and funny new comics and MC's on the circuit.

“Loveridge brought out some of the shock and awe – all with a smile on his face, too” ????? Public Review

“James is an animated story teller; an entertainer. His jokes and asides are self-deprecating and sharp, and delivered in such a manner that makes it difficult not to laugh along.” ???? EdFringe Review

“He had the rest of us in stitches throughout a polished yet ever-evolving act, with asides and quips just as strong his actual jokes” ???? The Skinny
