PAUL FOOT
Winner of the BBC New Comedy Award and then the Daily Telegraph Open Mic Award in 1998, he followed this with being the runner up in Channel 4’s ‘So You Think You're Funny Award’ and Perrier Newcomer (nominee) in1998. Since then he’s pursued a career as a stand-up comedian, with numerous television and radio appearances and several awards to his credit. He recently returned to competition reaching the final of NBC reality comedy series Last Comic Standing 6.
"Brilliant...very original" DAILY STAR
"Choice silliness which no other comic could deliver anywhere near as effectively" TIME OUT
GARETH BERLINER
Comedian, actor and writer Gareth Berliner has firmly established himself as an accomplished comic performer. Irresistibly amiable Gareth's act touches on his odd life and perspective. Berliner almost died long before ever becoming a stand-up and this affords him the ability to tell some intricately woven anecdotes and sharply crafted gags with an edge.
"Worth looking out for." EVENING STANDARD
"Berliner is a natural storyteller with more soul than 100 other comedians." METRO
GRAINNE MAQUIRE
Relative newcomer Grainne Maguire hails from Navan, the Irish town that has already produced Tommy Tiernan and Dylan Moran. She’s one of the finest emerging comic talents currently performing in the UK.
"Highly promising, has a big future ahead of her" TIME OUT "Novel and ingenious" ONE 4 REVIEW 2008
JOHN SMITH
John's act is dark, original, distinctive, punchy and packed with quality. In 2006 he was a finalist at Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year, Newbury Comedy Festival ‘You Must be Joking’ Competition and semi-finalist 'So You Think You’re Funny'.
“Genuinely funny stuff” THE SCOTSMAN
“A fantastic turn in sick punch lines” NEWBURY TODAY
AGNETA – THE SWEDISH TRUMPET DOG
Her first time in the UK, Agneta is hot, hairy and horny.The Malmo Mutt can blow and lick any audience into musical ecstasy.
