Jessica Fostekew

Jessica has been performing improvised comedy and working as a comedy actress since 2005. In January 2008 she hit the UK stand up circuit like a thunderbolt of joy and was a finalist in the Funny Women's Awards 2010.

She had a very successful one woman show 'Luxury Tramp', which ran at the Brighton Fringe. A review of her show concluded that she is clever, silly and most importantly funny and that she can hold her own with any other stand up, male or female.

'Fostekew is a hugely engaging presence and there's something reassuringly honest about her... Consistently hilarious' (Fest)

'Great fun' (Guardian).

Kate Lucas

'Kate Lucas is a unique act who combines a warm, self-deprecating persona with a dark dry wit that that runs through her songs. She combines catchy, original melodies with sophisticated lyrics and a fresh delivery style to present her playfully bitter musings on life' (Careys)

'Stole the whole evening with her musical comedy... had some of the crowd at the back of the room crying with tears' (Fringe Report)

'Combines deft lyrics with a lovely sense of progression' (Chortle)

'Hugely talented musical funny girl' (Monkey Business Comedy).

Stephanie Laing

Goofy and peculiar, Stephanie Laing's comedy is partway between the needy oddness of Maria Bamford and the upbeat affability of Josie Long. Her material is a mix of silliness, filth and unusual observations, underpinned by a disarming honesty which makes her seem charmingly vulnerable.

'A great stand-up. Always works magic' (Phil Kay)

'Disgusting and delightful in equal measure' (Three Weeks)

'Stephanie Laing offered up a gloriously silly set, coming across as wonderfully unpretentious and getting the audience on her side from the first line. Her off-the-wall observations about her own anxieties were delivered with awkward tenacity and came off as entirely believable mementoes of her everyday life' (Broadway Baby).

'A first-rate stand-up, gagsmith, and downbeat storyteller, Martin Croser's comedy stands partway between the righteous fury of Sam Kinison and the downtrodden world-weariness of Tony Hancock' (Comedy CV)

'Many moments of absolute brilliance and several of the best one-liners you will hear. Croser's writing is first rate' (Kate Copstick, The Scotsman)

'Martin's comedic brain is like a nest of bumble bees inside your favourite old oak tree - you know you shouldn't poke around in it, but you want to find out what will happen if you do... The results are dark and stinging but funny as hell' (Helen Arney).
