SAM AVERY - Sam Avery is an award-winning stand-up, bestselling author, renowned speaker and viral blogger. In 2018 he embarked on his debut national tour, selling out venues across the UK and culminating in two nights at London's prestigious Leicester Square Theatre. Since then he has amassed over 15 million views for his hilarious online videos, become a regular feature on TalkSport, BBC6 Music, 5 Live and in 2025 will tour the UK for a fifth time.
LOVDEV BARPAGA - Lovdev Barpaga, the 2017 UK Pun Champion, has the kind of effortless and gentle likeability that is completely unique in the comedy world. Entire crowds seem to fall in love
with him from the start and as much of his incredible humour as for his undeniable charm. Often laughing as much as his audience, here's a man in love with his job and it shows. You can't help but laugh along with him: The ultimate feel good comic. As Seen On: BBC Asian Network Live
PETER BRUSH - A highly distinctive performer and deft writer of finely crafted jokes, Peter Brush unassumingly takes the stage with his slight bespectacled frame and scruffy hair, before consummately conquering it with an arsenal of razor sharp quirky one-liners and peerlessly original routines, all delivered in an amusingly awkward fashion.
Peter performs at all the major clubs across the UK, as well as having done many of it’s biggest festivals, he has also played shows in Switzerland, Norway and Hungary. Formerly a BBC New Comedy Award finalist, he has written for several BBC Radio 4 shows and was the support act for Alexei Sayle’s most recent tour. Other acts he has supported on tour include Jonathan Pie,Jason Manford, Fern Brady, Arthur Smith and Paul Sinha.
MC AL STEPHENSON - Al Stevenson is the sharp-witted lad from Newcastle, with “bulletproof confidence” (Stand Newcastle), his charm allows him to tear through an audience with a cheeky grin. His “relentlessly hilarious” (Carl Hutchinson) performances of his “brilliant jokes” (Jack Whitehall) have seen him go all the way to the Beat The Frog World Series Finals, be tour support for Mark Nelson, USA Kevin James Thornton and many more, and sellout the prestigious Stand Comedy Club with his debut solo show!
