Gary Delaney
Gary Delaney is a razor sharp one-liner comedian, who is widely regarded as being the most quotable comic on the circuit. The high quantity of stand out gags leaves the audience struggling to remember them all. He regularly plays all the big clubs including The Comedy Store, Highlight, Jongleurs, Komedia, Glee, Rawhide, The Frog and Bucket, Hyena, Baby Blue, The Stand, Comedy Café, Lee Hurst's Backyard, Banana Cabaret and headlines at clubs throughout the UK. Gary is a regular guest on Mock The Week and has also appeared on Dave's 'One Night Stand', Comedy Central's 'Comedy Blue' and on Channel 4's 'Robert's Web' as well as Radio 4's 'Loose Ends' and Radio 2's 'Russell Kane's Whistle-Stop Tour'. His debut show 'Purist' was a big hit at the Edinburgh Festival in 2010, selling out every night and receiving many four and five star reviews. 'Gary Delaney has more quality jokes in this hour than many comics have in their entire careers… Quite brilliant' (The Scotsman). 'I laughed and I laughed and I laughed! A master craftsman' (The Times) 'Taut, brilliant one-liners. Delaney was worth the price of admission alone' (Chortle) '... Razor sharp one-liners' (The Daily Telegraph) Gary Delaney was #5 in Ents24's Hardest Working Comedians of 2018 list.

Esther Manito
Esther is an exciting British-Lebanese comedian who burst onto the stand-up circuit in 2016 and within her first 18 months of performing has already reached the finals rounds of 6 major comedy competitions. As heard on BBC Radio 4, Esther’s observational stand-up reflects on how being a mum can be hard work, how being a woman is challenging, how being Arab is tough at times and how being middle class English is….never tough….(unless Waitrose is out of Avocados). Esther ably proves that being all four, can be hilarious. “An adept and assured performer” - Chortle “Esther Manito has a lot of hair and a lot of talent” - Bruce Dessau So You Think You’re Funny Finalist 2017 Bath Comedian of The Year Finalist 2017 Amused Moose Semi Finalist 2017 Leicester Square Comedian of the Year Semi Finalist 2017 BBC New Comedy Award Nominee 2017 Funny Women 'One to Watch’ 2016

Glenn Wool
Inventive Canadian stand-up Wool certainly cuts a dash on stage with his heavy black eyeliner, long leather coat and distinctive cowboy hat. Already an established comic in the USA with his laid back, confident and edgy style and stunning improvisation. No subject too sensitive, no issue too extreme. He tackles a wide range of subjects from religious fundamentalism to current world politics and does it in such a way that you hardly notice that that is what you are listening to. 'Wincingly funny, it's enough to buckle a bull moose' (Melbourne Age) 'Effortlessly funny wit an affability that other comics can only dream of. You have to go see Glenn Wool' (The Guardian) 'Edgy, imaginative, funny and original... Tipped for greatness' (The Daily Telegraph).

Justin Panks
Toting his particular brand of uncompromising ‘Punk-Rock’ comedy, Justin Panks delivers unexpected punchlines and conjures up disturbing mental images that will stay with an audience for a lifetime. Unapologetically fearless and committed to his cause he wades into the underbelly of everyday life surprising, shocking and delighting audiences with his well crafted jokes disguised as anecdotes. Like a sufferer of Tourette’s syndrome that has had time to edit and construct his most embarrassing and revealing outbursts before making them public, he creates genuine excitement and generates enough power to to fill any room. This is not an act for the feint of heart. Since arriving on the circuit in 2009 Justin has played The Comedy Store, Downstairs at The Kings Head and several comedy clubs nationwide representing the UK’s largest comedy booker, Mirth Control Ltd.
