Duncan Oakley’s musicianship is enough to impress event the most cynical of crowds but, once combined with his stand up comedy, he’s in a league of his own. Expect silliness, surrealism, surprises, big, big laughs and rocking tunes from British comedy’s best loved axeman.

“Pure brilliance” Yorkshire Evening Post

As daft as it is deft, Tom Taylor’s highly individual musical comedy is a surefire winner in front of any crowd. During the dark days of lock down, Tom collaborated with David Walliams, Mel Giedroyc, Graham Norton, Clare Balding and even Cliff Richard to create The Isolation Song Contest. Not only did this earn a very tidy sum for some very good causes but won Tom a Chortle Award into the bargain! When not performing stand up Tom writes and performs one man murder mystery plays.

“Wave after wave of funny” The Scotsman “Gloriously silly” The Stage  “Excellent … beautifully daft” Sunday Times

MC Rob Rouse‘s career has seen him encompass pretty much everything from presenting Channel 4’s The Friday Night Project, to appearing the West End to teaching geography. We would like to point out that this isn’t in chronological order. Rob’s a one man comedy whirlwind who drags the audience into his craftily spun tall tales with bucketfuls of manic energy, first class stage craft, eerily convincing characterisations and a barrage of hilarious one liners.
