Hannah Platt

Hannah is a stand-up comedian, writer and Finalist of the BBC New Comedian of the Year Award. Merseyside-via-Manchester’s finest misanthrope has already been making her mark as a comic, having been described as ‘A voice of a new generation’ by The Skinny and ‘a voice with something to say’ by Chortle, never shying away from sensitive topics with brutal honesty and quick wit. Recently she has been nominated for Best Debut Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival, has written and starred in her own short for BBC 3 and has written for multiple panel shows on BBC Radio 4. Hannah has also appeared at festivals such as Latitude, Download and Greenman, and supported the likes of Kiri Pritchard-McClean, Fern Brady and Lou Sanders on their UK tours.

Kieran Flynn

Just how I love my comedy.” (Johnny Vegas) “It was mad but it was hilarious.” (Tom Rosenthal) “Easy chemistry and a furious will to entertain.” (The Scotsman)

Rachel Baker

Rachel is like a mixture of all the Ab Fab characters. Finalist at Funny Women Awards and Birmingham Comedy Festival Breaking Talent Award 2023. 92% of people in a recent poll said she looks like the Megabus man.

Previously a member of Improvabunga - “Consistently and outrageously funny.” (Broadway Baby) “Comic brilliance lifted us from our seats.” (Metro)
