Charlotte Cropper
Charlotte Cropper's anecdotal and conversational style laced with wit and whimsy makes her a "viscerally relatable" (The Meteor) new voice on the UK comedy scene.
She regularly performs Opener, Middle and MC spots across the North-West, most notably guest MC-ing the prestigious club XS Malarkey. Charlotte is the creator and host of CroppaChoppa’s Slumber Party, the cult sleepover-themed show described as "the most fun night of comedy in Manchester" (Manchester Wire). In 2025, Charlotte won Best Live Comedy Format for the North at the 2025 Chortle Awards, was Shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Awards 2025, and was a Funny Women Stage Award Semi-Finalist.

and Hannah Platt
Named ‘voice of a generation’ (The Skinny) with ‘humour sharp enough to draw blood’ (The Guardian), Hannah Platt is ‘an undeniable rising star’ (Fest Mag) of the UK comedy scene. Her debut Fringe show was nominated for 4 awards including NextUp’s Biggest Award in Comedy, and earned her 5 and 4 star reviews from the likes of The Scotsman, DIVA magazine and Chortle. She has appeared on Comedy Central Live, BBC Three and Radio 4, and supported Fern Brady, Harriet Kemsley and Lou Sanders amongst others on their UK tours.
with host Jonny Collins
Jonny Collins is an aggressively inclusive Non-Binary comedian, Jonny pulls no punches yet makes everyone feel welcome and represented in their thought provoking, and well constructed deconstructions of gender, sexuality and politics. With radical leftist ideals and a fast and furious delivery style, Jonny Collins is a favourite of socialists, anarchists, feminists (of the trans inclusive variety), and queer activists alike.
“Jonny is a force of nature on stage. A whirlwind of hilarity with a unique viewpoint, they energy and passion personified.” – XS Malarkey
"Jonny Collins is deceptively rapid-fire, with a gag rate that would shame most one-line merchants. They can bring a simmer to a boil with ease, and make a huge mess of your kitchen." – James Ross (Quantum Leopard)
