Joshua had a quad bike accident at 11 that left him in a coma for months and now lives with a physical disability. He was told he would never walk or talk again. Now, he is now a professional stand up, touring across the country and performing in the UK’s top venues. He has also supported Tom Stade and Shappi Khorsandi on Tour, and has performed to royalty. He has also appeared recently on Silence is Golden, on UKTV and Dave, alongside top comics, to trick the audience to laugh to lose their prize pot, and he also has appeared on Rosie Jones’ Disability Comedy Showcase. Alongside his impressive stand-up performances, Joshua is a talented writer and actor. Dad Joke a comedy short which Joshua co-wrote and stars in, was commissioned by the BFI NETWORK and Film London, premiering at the BFI London Film Festival. He also had an Edinburgh Fringe run with his first solo show ‘Enable Me’ that explores his experiences as a disabled dad and the exploration of his sexuality.
“…When you’re holding the room, you can afford to slow down and people will happily stay with you” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - (PETER FOX)
"…Joshua was great, he was super nice and the crowd really liked him. I'd love to get him back" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - (BETHAN FORREST - GREEN MAN FESTIVAL PROGRAMMER)
LAUREN RIVERS... Is on a one-woman mission to become Londons newest mediocre comedian. She's seen enough open mic comedy to think that she can do it better than her fellow men. To give it to her, she is not worse than an over-confident inebriated man off the street. At best whimsical. At worst whimsical. Tackling the feminist subjects no one else will - child-free living, holidaying in centre parcs, her bra.
"…A female comic" - (ANONYMOUS)
"…It was five minutes" - (AUDIENCE MEMBER)
MARSHA LEANNE…Her comedy dives into the chaotic beauty of parenting, dating disasters, and chasing dreams on three hours of sleep. She’s that friend who tells it like it is—with just the right amount of pettiness. Marsha brings big energy, sharp wit, and a little trauma (the funny kind).
She’s performed in shows, open mics, and regularly posts online sketches that have aunties, uncles, and exes all watching. Her characters are bold, her stories are raw, and her edge control is always being tested. You’ll laugh, nod, and text your group chat mid-show like: “That’s literally me.”
She’s on stage now because therapy is expensive.
“…We’ve always been laughing at you not with you, we’re so happy you’ve caught on!!” – (MARSHA’S FRIEND)
ELENA COTTON… Princess of comedy hearts, Elena Cotton is fresh to the London scene and bringing some spice. Her biting humour is rude, but in a hot way, as she philosophises on some of life’s great questions - Is my boyfriend gay? Do I care? Why is JK Rowling ruining my life? And other such grandiose remarks. Riding on the tailcoats of fourth wave feminism she’s decided now is the time to exercise her democratic right to be hilarious - and you will not be disappointed.
“…Remember me when you headline Hammersmith Apollo” – (MARTIN DIXON)
“…You’re way too hot to be a comedian” – (MAN IN PUB 6 PINTS DEEP).
“…You’ve let the side down” – (EMMELINE PANKHURST)
GINA O'NEIL…Gina’s about as petty as it gets and needs to prove to herself all her exes are wrong; she is very funny and was certainly not the problem in any of her relationships. Whilst she hasn’t had much luck in dating, she’s been successful in racking up enough stories to entertain her friends, family and indeed other dates. The circle of life. From an early age Gina accepted that good looks, athleticism and grace weren’t going to be her wheelhouse so accepted her role as the funny friend and has now chosen to monetise this.
“...She’s someone things just seem to happen to” - (HER BROTHER)
“...We refuse to comment since the incident” - (HR)
“...Please don’t laugh, we’re begging her to stop this” - (GINA'S FRIENDS)
OLIVIA MINNOCK… Olivia is a brand new comedian fresh from her City Academy course – two gigs in and counting - though life has been a joke for much longer. By day, she works in a fintech startup, volunteers as a historical tour guide and pretends to enjoy running. Coming from an Irish family means storytelling, humour and performance are all part of life and Olivia takes inspiration from the many tragic, but usually funny, events that happen in her life as well as the many contradictions in the world around us.
"…That was better than I thought it would be" – (A FAN)
"…Please don't tell that story in public" – (OLIVIA’S MUM)
"…You're really funny but that's not what I'm looking for in a girlfriend" – (9 MEN ON HINGE)
KHUTHAZA NDIMA...Khuthaza couldn’t make this up. Her stories actually happened. From traveling as an unaccompanied minor from South Africa to NYC to living and working around the world, crazy and funny always find her. Auto and Biographical recollections of life’s adventures is what she loves to share.
“…Khuthaza is the definition what keeping it real means” – (KARIMA)
"...You've been cancelling our plans for weeks now, if it's something I said, please just tell me" - (SATAN)
"...Khuthaza might not put the sparkle in your eyes, but she'll definitely put WTF wrinkles in your forehead" – (RIA S)
“…Controlling her tongue is no problem…it’s her face that needs deliverance” – (TANYA J)
MATT BENTLEY…Matt is an actor and comedian known for his TikToks, and he worked with Steve Coogan, David Mitchell and Stephen Fry across TV and film. Online, Matt’s alter ego proclaims himself as “the main one on the internet” - he isn’t. He does comedy skits, that in the main, surround the Harry Potter universe. His dry comedy blurs the lines between reality and fiction as he often tells his social media followers that some of them need to leave, as “He’s full” or “At capacity.” Occasionally the entire image is dropped as he makes posts about life and the struggles of being young in the modern world. He is deliberately difficult to define as a social media personality. But if you want a label, then it’s comedy.
ZIAD SAMAHA…is a new face on the comedy circuit who’s inspired many audiences to take up surfing because he’s already… making waves. A startling mix of over-confidence and international mystery, his comedy musings are as exotic and unusual as he is... Although all open mics are inferior to TNT, he has been a winner of Ding Dong Gong Show at Big Belly and a frequent Black Out beater at Up The Creek: so if he doesn’t make you laugh, ask Sarma for your money back!
“…Whatever “it” is, you’ve got it!” - (ZIAD’S GP)
“…You should follow him!” - (THAMES VALLEY POLICE)
BONDY KAYE…is a whisper of lost souls from a forgotten future haunting the battered, chapped remains of a 1970s-era travelling vacuum seller in a Faustian nightmare that was doomed from the start. Bondy also likes rock climbing, cats, and spicy food. As a non-binary Russian Mexican born Jewish in the USA to vegetarian immigrant parents, Bondy is an equal opportunity offender. Audiences of all ages and from all walks of life are sure to find something to hate about them. Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet ass comedy. You know what? Bring two buckets.
“…Basically a person” – (UNCLE RICK)
“…Prompt not understood” – (AI GEORGE CARLIN)
“…I wouldn't trust that shady mf one bit” – (SEAN COMBS)
STEVE HOLMES…Steve Holmes epitomises sardonic. He has a World-weary view of life and a distrust of humanity borne from being an old man since childhood. He is a cynical-optimist who really does try to find the best in everything but experience tells him "what's the f**king point?" Steve's comedy often takes a wry look at his disability, what he is and isn't capable of, and what the world in general expects of someone who owns, requires and laments multiple wheelchairs and walking sticks. Runner up in 2024's West End New Old Comedian of the Year, his career in stand up could have progressed further if, well, he had more often been able to stand up. How Steve makes light of both how the world is not built for the disabled and that his biggest handicap is that common sense is not a common commodity, finds you willing him on to continue to find the good in all he encounters, even if it is only for your amusement.
PAUL BRADLEY… Laughs, Shocks and Two Dodgy Accents…Born in Belfast, forged in Kentish Town, Paul Bradley grew up stuck between two accents and two cultures — and he’s been milking the laughs ever since. His comedy is a high-energy mash-up of lightning-fast impersonations, outrageous true tales, and the kind of Irish family drama you couldn’t make up (and wouldn’t survive sober). Catholic guilt, questionable life choices, and more twists than a soap opera – all delivered at full throttle.
If you like your comedy loud, real, and a bit wrong… Paul’s your man.
"…The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is" – (JIM CARREY)
STEW SIMPSON…is a Geordie whirlwind of chaos and charisma, now wreaking joyful havoc in East London’s queer comedy scene. You may recognise him from his alter ego Harold Donald Foreman — a delightfully deranged character — but this is Stew, unfiltered and unashamed: full-GAYDHD, polyamorous, queer soul-seeking filth with a mic and a mission. His comedy blends raw honesty with absurd storytelling, political wrong-footing, and deeply inappropriate revelations. Whether he's unpacking the logistics of open relationships or misadventures on public transport, Stew delivers it all with magnetic mischief and northern charm.
“…Stew is like licking a battery you found in a queer zine library – electrifying, confusing, and probably illegal in 12 countries” – (TNT)
“…He’s the reason we keep fire exits clear – explosive, unpredictable, and absolutely essential” – KYLE WALLACE, GNT COMEDY)
Expect vulnerability, filth, and frantic brilliance – sometimes all in the same sentence.
DANNY FIELD…is an up and coming stand-up comedian from London. After growing up hearing impaired on a council estate and being diagnosed with testicular cancer whilst on a gap year in Australia, Danny offers a ballsy take on life - the only way he knows how. His quick-witted punchlines and side-splitting stories give you a glimpse into the unlucky side of life.
“…That was actually funny” – (HIS GIRLFRIEND)
“…He failed the personality test needed to work here” – (B&Q)
“…I’m his best friend and he’s lying about having one testicle” – (COMPLETE STRANGER ON FACEBOOK)
ADAM WALLACE…The swallower of egos and destroyer of souls, designed to make you doubt what you believe in and expand your capacity for questioning Adam Wallace returns once again to the dark arts to help dispel the hopes and dreams on the weary, and reignite the imaginations of the desperate all for free, while dancing an entangled knife dance with fate and destiny.
“…Insert self-disparaging quote here” – (INSERT IRONIC FAMILY MEMBER HERE)
“…Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” – (JUVENAL)
CHRIS BYFIELD…Chris is a uniquely average comedian that has been tolerated by hundreds of apathetic audience members across London for a number of years. However, don’t take our word for it - here’s what some of his fans had to say...
“…Was okay” – (A FAN)
“…Always Great value on a free night”- (A BIG FAN)
“…I literally don’t remember which one he was” – (CHRIS’ DAD)
MIKE AICKEN…is a Hackney-based GP, song-writer, screen-writer, children’s book author, father, step-father, fiancée, divorcee, tortoise co-owner and, at one low-point, self-proclaimed Messiah. He mostly tells sad jokes about his divorce and shares world-shattering moments of clarity he has had whilst watching Netflix.
“…Really? A comedian? But I’ve never even seen him smile” – (MIKE’S DEPARTMENTAL HEAD)
“… a complete luny psychopath”- (MIKE’S EX-WIFE)
“…Are you not supposed to wear a glove for that?” – (MIKE’S PATIENT, YESTERDAY)
CLAUDIU CONSTANTIN ...is a Romanian comedian. Full of frustration or anything to be proud of. He is trying to date at 41 and fails miserably. He's been doing stand-up for the past 15 years. He moved to London 9 years ago to perform in stand-up shows and ended up packing Morph*ne in a warehouse and massaging people. Any situation has a reverse angle which is funny in his opinion.
"…He is still a beginner after all this time" – (GUY IN THE BACK)
"…Can't decide if he is fat or not" – (GUY IN THE MIDDLE)
"…So you are saying that you are right and all of us are wrong?" – (CHELOO FROM TV)
