STEVIE GRAY (MC)

“Like watching Sunshine” – Notts Comedy Review

Hailing from Oldham, Stevie Gray combines hilarious stories, songs and crowd work to create a feel-good factor in any room. Stevie is one of the most in demand MC’s in the country.

KEVIN DEWSBURY

“He has a touch of early Eddie Izzard about him, both in his demeanour, delivery and look and his understated, self-deprecating humour was the perfect foil to the comics who followed him” – Northampton Chronicle & Echo

Kevin claims he knew he was going to be a stand up comedian when aged just eight months he fell 10 feet down a stairwell, banged his head on a newspaper rack, and people have been laughing at him ever since. Hailing from Cheshire, he was long-time member of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain, proving himself a talented straight actor.

Bored of being told what to, he decided to tell other people what to do via the world of stand-up, i.e. laugh. An early finalist in the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year, his material ranges from storytelling, observations on daily life and killer one liners, all delivered with impeccable comic timing Kevin is guaranteed to leave crowds wanting more of his top-notch humour.

ALFIE DUNDAS

Alfie Dundas is a 24-year old London-based rising comic who engages audiences with a blend of self-deprecating humour and sharp observations on family, identity, and societal nuances. He has won a number of new act competitions and has performed at iconic venues across the UK, as well as The Laugh Factory and The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. He runs Manny Dartin Comedy Club, a monthly sold-out with TV headliners in South London.

DAVE TWENTYMAN

F**king Brilliant – John Bishop

Affable, quick-witted banter merchant, Dave Twentyman survived a childhood in St Helens by evolving rapid, startlingly-bright patter and a smile that he somehow stole from Barry Manilow. This is a man who could teach Teflon a trick-or-two but who remains vastly more fun than your average frying-pan. What higher praise can there be? A regular performer at many of the best weekend clubs in the country, Dave has also performed at music festivals such as Leeds, V Festival, and Download.
