Stand Up With The Real McCoy Manchester

'The Don' - one of black comedy's biggest hitters. Curtis was awarded Best Male Stand-up in the Black International Comedy Awards and received the Top Carlton TV Multicultural Entertainment and Comedy Award 2001. On television, he has cohosted Paramount City, appeared on Jonathan Ross, Now What, The Lenny Henry Show and The Stand-up Show. He is also the main writer on the last two series of Channel 4's The Richard Blackwood Show.

Considered by some to be the UK's answer to Will Smith, TV presenter, comedian, pop star/rapper, actor and radio DJ Richard Blackwood has many strings to his bow. As a rapper and singer, Richard had a no.3 hit single in 2000 with his cover of Junior's 'Mama Used To Say' (who happens to be Richard's uncle!), reworked as 'Mama Who Da Man'. Nowadays you will mostly find Richard on the stand-up circuit.

The Jimi Hendrix of comedy, Toju has been on the comedy circuit for 17 years. His TV credits include 'The Real McCoy', Channels 4's 'Balls Of Steel', 'The A'Force', 'Get Up, Stand Up' as well as many others. He is one of the most invigorating young stand-ups to emerge from the new generation of black British comedy. While his targets include the empty commercialism of modern culture, he uses a wide variety of mainstream references to make his points: Brit gangster films, martial arts movies, the Incredible Hulk. His influences range from Dennis Leary and Bill Hicks to sitcoms like Rising Damp. Although often angry, he is also gloriously inclusive.
