After a decade of slogging away at the comedy coalface, Nina Gilligan joined the ranks of Vegas, Manford and Ranganathan when she was crowned the 2021 Leicester Mercury Comedian Of The Year! Getting increasingly harder to book, we are sure you will understand why once you have seen her strutting her very funny stuff.

 Noel James taught English as a second language (He’s from Swansea!) until deciding to give stand up comedy a go in the Nineties. Since then, Noel has appeared at comedy clubs up and down this fair isle and as far away as Berlin and South Africa. Noel has popped up regularly on the telly, as both writer and performer and even picked up a Rose of Montreaux nomination on the way. Although best known for deft one-liners, Noel isn’t afraid to pull a few props out or even whip out his guitar. A skilled, clever and bona fide free spirit who commits completely to the crowd.
