MIKE NEWALL
Local Stockport lad, now based in Manchester, Mike Newall is a charming and laid-back comedian with well-crafted jokes and a wonderful dry delivery. This is observational comedy at its best with razor-sharp timing combined with a keen sense of dark sarcasm.
He most recently appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, where he impressed the judges so much that Simon Cowell said, " It was like an Oasis concert where the music ran out and Liam decides to tell a few jokes!"

JAKE DONALDSON
A finalist in the BBC New Comedy Award in 2024. More recently, he recorded Rosie Jones’ Disability Comedy Extravaganza for UKTV and did a run-through for 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown back in October.
Jake regularly performs pro 20s across the circuit, including at Just The Tonic, Headliners, The Stand, House of Stand Up, Dave Ward, Fuzzy Bear, Bath Komedia, Bluebook, Toby Jones and Felt Nowt.
