Gary Delaney

"I laughed & I laughed & I laughed" The Times

Over 100 million views on YouTube

20.4 million views on TikTok

Gary Delaney is a Double Sony Award Winner, a Chortle Award nominee, and is the only comic ever to have got two gags in the same top 10 for Dave's Funniest Jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe.

TV and Radio includes Live at the Apollo (BBC1), Richard Osman's House of Games (BBC2), Mock The Week (BBC2), The Unbelievable Truth (Radio 4), Elephant in the Room (Radio 4), and Loose Ends (BBC Radio 4). Gary has also written extensively for TV and Radio including 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, A League Of Their Own, The Royal Variety Performance, The Jason Manford Show, 10'Clock Live, The British Comedy Awards, and The News Quiz. He also has a book out 'Pundamentalist: 1,000 jokes you probably haven't heard before'.

Gary is widely regarded as being the most quotable one-liner comic in the country. He projects the barely hidden delight of a cheeky schoolboy and the audience can't help but be carried along by his infectious charm, so much so that he has sold over a quarter of a million tickets on his tours across the UK and Ireland.

Esther Manito

As seen on Live At The Apollo (BBC), The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV), Hypothetical (Dave) and heard on: BBC Sounds Russel Kane's Evil Genius, co-hosting Radio 4 Extra's Newsjack Unplugged, CBBC Bitesize Parents, BBC'S Breaking the News and Russell Kane's Boys Don't Cry.

"Last time I reviewed Esther I described her as "the opposite of predictable" and "sublime" and the same applies now" - Comedy to Watch

Esther's hour #NotAllMen won best show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2021.

Glenn Wool

As seen on Mock The Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Russell Howards Good News and Never Mind The Buzzcocks)

Glenn began his comedy career in his hometown of Vancouver in 1995.

He moved to London in 1998 and quickly became one of the rising stars of the London and international comedy circuit having performed in Australia, New Zealand, The USA, South Africa, Switzerland, France, Croatia and Arabia.

Glenn was nominated for Best International Stand Up at The New Zealand Comedy Awards and Best Headliner at the Chortle Awards.

Justin Panks

Justin Panks has many a time been given the title "the comedian's comedian". Unapologetically fearless he delivers unexpected punchlines as he wades into the underbelly of everyday life surprising, shocking and delighting audiences with his well crafted jokes disguised as anecdotes, providing the audiences with laugh after laugh. 

With over a decade of experience gigging throughout the UK, Europe and New York, Justin prides himself on being able to adapt to any room, be it rowdy and crowded, intimate comedy clubs or large theatres.
