Alex Farrow, an award-winning comedian from Oxford who’s been mixing his comedic talent and scientific knowledge to adoring audiences for many years, especially at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where his shows have been appreciated with multiple 5-Star Reviews
Robert Duck - The weird and wonderful rising star of the UK Comedy Circuit, making his name as a rapid-fire joke machine!
