Alun Cochrane has popped up on everything from Have I Got News For You to 8 Out Of 10 Cats to Frank Skinner’s Absolute Radio show. Expanding life’s more mundane details into eye wettingly funny routine has been his mainstay for many a year.  Whether it’s crisp packet opening etiquette or the buddy bench at your kids’ school, Alun has done all the thinking for you.  Later years have seen him take on modern life’s more contentious topics but don’t worry, laughter is awlays first and foremost and, if you have been left with a little bit to think about, then all the better.

“Big belly laughs” The Guardian “Master storyteller” Metro ‘The best, as well as the most natural stand-up I’ve seen’ The Independent  ‘Brilliant no-frills stand-up comedy’ The List  ‘Wonderful, powerful, unexpectable stuff’  The Scotsman

Matt Price is known for having some of the most extraordinary and outrageous stories drawn from the wilder side of life. Hailing from Cornwall; he brings true warmth and heart to the stage whilst finding some audacious laughs in the most unexpected places. Matt’s charm and talent have made him a favourite on the UK and International circuit and whether he is compering or performing a set, he has the expertise to win over even the toughest of audiences.

“A terrific comedian” The Scotsman  “A truly incisive comic brain.” South Wales Echo   “Masterful”  Phnom Phen Post, Cambodia

Faizan Shah is a Manchester-based comic who moved to the UK as a child, his well-crafted jokes make light of growing up in an immigrant household and the inevitable mental health challenges it brings. The quality of Faizan’s joke writing, and affable stage presence has seen him progress quickly from beating Comedy Store’s King Gong and Frog and Bucket’s Beat the Frog to now breaking through the circuit with a strong 20 minute set and performing at both those venues pro weekend gigs in under 2 years. We believe Faizan to be one of the most exciting new acts to come out of Manchester for a few years. 

“One of my favourite new stand up comedians”  Guz Khan  “Nicely paced, deadpan delivery” Chortle
