KATE BARRON

Kate Barron has the rare gift of making a room feel like she's just catching you up on gossip, even when she's landing some of the sharpest punchlines on the circuit — an unfiltered, foul-mouthed energy that's carried her from Vancouver art galleries to sold-out Soho Theatre runs. She made history as the first woman ever to win Toronto's notoriously brutal Comedy Brawl, beating out over 400 rivals, and hasn't slowed down since.

"Blunt, bold, ballsy and brilliant." — LeicestershirePress.com

Winner, Best Debut Show, Entertainment Now (2022)

MADELEINE BRETTINGHAM

With a background writing for Have I Got News For You and Frankie Boyle's New World Order, Madeleine Brettingham brings the sharpest possible pen to her own stand-up, pairing offbeat, precisely-observed material with a stage presence critics can't stop raving about. Off the back of a stunning breakout year, she's fast becoming one of the names every promoter wants on their bill.

"A suffer-no-fools attitude that owns the stage, a formidable gag rate and a precision with language that conjures up the perfect images." — Chortle

Winner, So You Think You're Funny? (2025)

LUCAS JONES HO

There's a real buzz building around Lucas Jones Ho, who's cutting his teeth on some of London's toughest rooms and coming out on top — most notably taking the crown at The Comedy Store's legendary King Gong Show, one of the circuit's most brutal (and coveted) tests for new talent.

OSMAN SHIBLI

With dry wit shaped by a British-Pakistani-Qatari upbringing, Osman Shibli turns his unusual heritage into sharp, laid-back observational comedy that's fast making him a fixture on the London new-act scene. Co-creator and former MC of Student Kitchen Comedy Club, he's built a loyal online following alongside his live sets, with over a million views across social media.

MC DAN ATKINSON

Behind the camera he's helped shape some of the biggest comedy hits on TV, but come and see why he's in just as much demand as a performer. A natural-born compere with cheeky, off-the-cuff storytelling, he's warmed up audiences for Stephen Merchant, hosted national tours, and built a reputation as one of the circuit's most reliable, big-hearted MCs.

"An inspired choice for compere." — Chortle

A QUICK NOTE ON LINE-UPS: Because we always strive to put on the very best comedians we can find, occasionally that means they will get TV work or something that means they will cancel on us last-minute. It happens. In this instance we will always replace them with someone of equal quality, but if you're travelling to see a specific performer it's worth dropping us a quick message to check there hasn't been any changes. xxx
