Since then Scott has appeared on BBC’s Live At The Apollo, become a regular on Radio 4’s The New Quiz, won numerous awards and toured the UK. November 2024 saw Scott perform at the Royal Variety Command Performance.
‘ Live comedy’s best kept secret” Evening Standard “A very funny man” Rob Brydon ★★★★ Chortle ★★★★ TV Bomb ‘Proper meat-and-two-veg jokes’ Beyond The Joke
As daft as it is deft, Tom Taylor’s highly individual musical comedy is a surefire winner in front of any crowd. During the dark days of lock down, Tom collaborated with David Walliams, Mel Giedroyc, Graham Norton, Clare Balding and even Cliff Richard to create The Isolation Song Contest. Not only did this earn a very tidy sum for some very good causes but won Tom a Chortle Award into the bargain! When not performing stand up Tom writes and performs one man murder mystery plays.
“Wave after wave of funny” The Scotsman “Gloriously silly” The Stage “Excellent … beautifully daft” Sunday Times
London Comedy Store regular, Roger Monkhouse`s trademark stage-prowling style and curious, inimitable manner have established him as one of the hottest names on the comedy circuit. Supremely confident, with audience banter down to an art form, Roger is happy to improvise freely but has no shortage of first class material in his armoury. A master of observational comedy with a routine that is universally and unfailingly hysterical.
“An arsenal of killer gags” The Guardian “A gifted natural” Chortle “Highly regarded’ Evening Standard
Manchester’s Louis Etienne rounds off anther laughter packed show. Didsbury Comedy Club October 2026 is booked, marketed and produced by Comedy In A Van and held at St Catherine’s Community Centre

"Excellent … beautifully daft" - Sunday Times
Roger Monkhouse
'Skinhead, intellectual, and specialist compere, Roger Monkhouse employs a deadly combination of charm and menace to exert a masterful control over any audience' (Glee)
'His laconic delivery shields an engaging persona and an enquiring mind' (The Guardian)
'Pulls punchlines, seemingly, out of thin air... Saucy - and uncompromisingly so - sometimes topical, sometimes punny, sometimes clever, sometimes daft... There is, in short, something in this varied comedy menu for every taste... A gifted natural... One of the consummate professionals of the stand-up circuit' (Chortle)
'... one of the most experienced acts in the business. His deadpan style and quick wit make him one of the best acts out there, and he is a regular fixture at top venues all over the country, as well as performing extensively throughout the rest of the world' (Funhouse Comedy).
Louis Etienne
Scott Bennett
Stylishly shirted, Yorkshire-born Scott Bennett delivers wry observations on the absurdity of modern living. His sharply-written routines, drawn from real-life experiences have been delighting audiences across the country; except in Yorkshire, where they are deeply suspicious of his shirts.
Likeable, with a warm and engaging delivery, he is a Yorkshire live wire with an undeniable no nonsense logic. English Comedian of the Year Runner Up, Comedy Cellar New Act of the Year and Old Speckled Hen Comedian of the Year.
'A generous helping of wonderfully witty comic observations about life's little quirks, relationships and human behaviour. Served by a Yorkshireman with relentless enthusiasm and boundless energy' (http://www.bbc.co.uk)
'Naturally hilarious, the highlight of the evening' (Broadway Baby, Edinburgh Fringe 2013)
'A star of the future' (Huddersfield Examiner)
'This loveable rising star enthrals his audiences with his warm and engaging delivery, he is a Yorkshire live wire with an undeniable no nonsense logic' (Funhouse Comedy).
