Simon Brodkin

As seen on Live at the Apollo, Lee Nelson's Well Good Show, The Royal Variety Performance, and Britain's Greatest Hoaxer (Channel 4).

Dubbed "the world's most famous blagger" by The Daily Telegraph, Simon is an acclaimed comedian renowned worldwide for his unforgettable pranks.

He hit global headlines by handing Theresa May a P45 at the Conservative Party Conference, showering disgraced FIFA president Sepp Blatter with banknotes, and pranking Donald Trump with swastika-emblazoned golf balls at his golf course openings.

Simon's iconic character, the "comedy legend" Lee Nelson (The Sun), starred in BBC Three's smash-hit Lee Nelson's Well Good Show and sketch series Lee Nelson's Well Funny People, bringing a host of hilarious characters to screens across the nation.

Mark Simmons

As seen on: Mock the Week, BBC Radio 4, Dave's Funniest Joke of the Fringe

Mark Simmons is a master of one-liners and one of the sharpest joke writers on the UK circuit. Winner of Dave's Funniest Joke of the Fringe 2024 and voted Best Act in the UK Comics' Comic Awards, Mark's pun-packed sets have earned him sell-out shows in Edinburgh and tour support slots with Rob Beckett, Seann Walsh and Michael McIntyre.

With TV and radio credits including Mock the Week, BBC Radio 4 and The Today Programme, Mark's clever misdirection and perfectly timed gags make him a true crowd favourite.

"Master of one-liners"  – One4Review "A talented comic with an artisan's grasp of joke-writing"  – Chortle

Paddy Lennox

As seen on: The Blame Game (BBC), Sky Poker, Talksport Radio

Laid-back, charismatic and effortlessly funny, Paddy Lennox blends sharp observational comedy with a mischievous Irish charm. A regular at top clubs across the UK, he's also supported the likes of Micky Flanagan and Rhod Gilbert on tour, and performed for major corporate clients including the BBC and ITV.

Equally at home on stage or screen, Paddy's acting credits include productions at Shakespeare's Globe and numerous TV appearances. With rave reviews and a natural warmth, he's a firm favourite wherever he plays.

Tom's skills as an MC are not just restricted to comedy nights though. He is often booked to host a variety of concerts and charity events. "The comedy equivalent to Thor's hammer piercing the earth's atmosphere" - The Evening News, Norwich
