A dozen years since his BBC New Comedy Award win, things have been going rather well for Steve Bugeja ( ‘Boo-Jay_Ah‘ seeing as you asked). His jokes and stories have taken him right around the globe with Melbourne, Australia being a particular hot spot for Bugeja fans. Steve’s no stranger to the small screen either with appearances from The Russell Howard Hour to Love Island: Aftersun and a couple of appearances on Australian telly. Very much in demand behind the scenes, he’s head writer for Iain Stirling’s CelebAbility and co-create ITV sitcom Buffering.  Fun fact: Steve’s cousin was the prime minster of Malta.

“an eye for original comic detail that’s all his own.” Guardian  “Plentiful jokes and compelling storytelling” Scotsman

A quick-witted, slow walking, fast rising star, Ricky Balshaw is without question, the funniest Paralympic Dressage medallist in the UK, perhaps the world. Stepping over his cerebral palsy like it’s the mildest of inconveniences, Ricky pulls his audience into a joyfully dark world of self-depreciating hilarity. No sympathy vote is needed (or accepted) as Ricky dominates comedy stages up and down the UK. A brilliant joke-smith and storyteller, this young man has comedy greatness in his bones.

Your evening comes complete with Howard Anstock and resident MC Mandy McCarthy, a warm and friendly compere, able to play any room, from small intimate comedy clubs to theatres and be totally unfazed. Hailing from the North, Mandy’s comedy is a mixture of gags, stories of family life, the joys of getting older and audience engagement.
