George Zacharopoulos (AKA George Zach because British comperes can’t pronounce his name properly), was born in Kalamata, Greece (the land of olives and debt) but moved to Newcastle to study Biochemistry. He then stayed for the weather and to dodge national service. Luckily, George discovered comedy and he now I headlines across the UK, as well as Europe, Dubai and Australia.

‘Such a wicked sense of humour that you will ache from laughing so hard.’ ★★★★★ The Reviews Hub

“Hilarious, Uplifting, Highly Recommended” ★★★★★ What’s My Scene, Australia

‘The set is deeply funny, and the comic is an astutely engaging storyteller.’ ★★★★★ Ed Fringe Review

Jo Caulfield was born in Wales to Irish parents and brought up in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. She grew up believing the East Midlands was her oyster. Jo spent many years honing her skills as a waitress and was frequently fired for arguing with customers.

“I wasn’t a very good waitress. I was a real maverick. I played by my own rules. I took orders from no one.”

Jo moved to London at 17 to sing and play drums in a Rockabilly band. This was an unusual decision as Jo can neither sing nor play drums. To misquote the Human League, Jo was working in an Italian Restaurant when she found herself drunkenly entering an open mic competition. Although she hadn’t prepared anything and could hardly stand, let alone speak, Jo won the competition and was asked back the following week…

Although best known for her legendary one-woman shows Jo has also won a BAFTA as Graham Norton’s head writer and TV appearances include: Mock The Week, Have I Got News For You, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Saturday Night Live, The Comedy Store, The Comedian’s Comedian, Dawn French’s Girls Who Do Comedy, The Stand Up Show and World Stand’s Up.

Middle act is Craig Alexander and your compere is Comedy Store and Frog & Bucket veteran Mick Ferry! Whether he’s running with a scatterbrained idea, an audience suggestion or dipping into his extensive mental files of absolute, top drawer gags and routines, the end result is a barrage of laughter from a very happy audience and that is what we are all about.
