Thanks! \nPaul McCaffrey’s numerous TV appearances include Live at the Apollo\, Russell Howard’s Good News\, Impractical Jokers UK and Stand Up Central. One of the most in-demand club headliners and support act for the biggest names in comedy including Kevin Bridges and Sean Lock. Whether it’s an enormous arena the cosy confines of a pub back room\, McCaffrey’s slightly cynical and completely baffled take on modern life wows the crowd every time. Come and see why! \n‘Gut-bustlingly hilarious‘ GQ Magazine ‘Fucking funny‘ Frank Skinner ‘Born to be a comic’ The Scotsman \nBristolian Sally-Anne Hayward has performed all over the world and supported Sarah Millican\, Russell Howard and Russell Kane on their UK tours.

A regular MC at Glastonbury Festival and with many a corporate event under her belt\, she can even count the late Sir Norman Wisdom as a fan! \n“Exceptionally funny” The Independent ‘Fabulous’ BBC London Live \nOnce described as “Spewing out one-liners like he had just scoffed a dodgy prawn”\, Scotland’s Paul Pirie‘s brand of high energy lunacy puts him very firmly in the Robin Williams school of comedic performance.

Thanks! \nVancouver’s Glenn Wool reached these shores in the mid-Nineties and\, much to the disdain of lesser comedians\, it looks like he’s here to stay. When not at home in his adopted Essex\, Wool consistently sells out shows at the world’s biggest comedy festivals and has appeared on numerous TV shows. Topical\, engaging\, opinionated but never preachy and\, of course\, downright hysterically funny\, Glenn is a surefire hit in front of any audience. \n“Why aren’t you in a queue somewhere buying a ticket?” Scotsman  “Effortlessly funny” Guardian   “Absolutely hilarious” Independent \nJacob Nussey unassumingly draws in audiences with his deadpan style\, sharp jokes\, and ill-fated anecdotes with clever punchlines. He’s seriously funny and well worth catching live. Named as ‘one to watch in 2023’ by comedy website Chortle\, we are firm fans and predict much bigger things for Jacob. \n‘Highly effective’ Chortle ‘Insanely funny‘ Skiddle  ‘Hilariously nonchalant’ Broadway World \nSharp anecdotal & unapologetic stand-up comedian Jay Neale is an “out-for-belly-laughs” professional\, he not only delivers tight\, punchy and hilarious sets\, he is also a seasoned compère\, ready for any crowd in any sized venue with a wealth of material that leaves the audience holding their sides\, born from gigging throughout the UK. \nYour evening comes complete with Manchester’s Tabish Akbar (‘Peppered with gags‘ Chortle) \nThe comedians you see at Comedy @ Player’s Theatre\, Cheadle are booked by Comedy In A Van \nGlenn Wool\, Jacob Nussey\, Tabish Akbar & MC Jay Neale at Players Theatre\, Cheadle\, Stockport Saturday 6 December 2025 (C) Comedy In A Van \n  \n

We can only refund or reallocate if the show is cancelled. Thanks! \nTony Burgess has been making a living from this stand up comedy lark since his teens. An obsessive writer from an early age\, flab free gags are the hallmarks of Tony’s scintillating sets. Whether it’s musings on the Madchester days of yore or surreal takes on contemporary family life\, surrender to the onslaught of laughter will be your only option! All gags and routines come in Tony’s trademark Mancunian jackdaw delivery. \n“Great\, well crafted gags” The Times    “Sharper than a Stanley knife” The Visitor \nIf you’re a fan of Mock The Week or 5 Live’s Fighting Talk then Ian Stone will have already made you laugh.

This Middlesbrough lass explodes onto the stage with enough energy to boil your kettle and then some. Lunges\, homespun philosophies and bare faced cheek all come served with an enormous sense of fun and contagious laughter. Unmissable. \n‘Instantly likeable… ..a joy to audiences’ Felt Nowt   ‘A perfect mix of energy\, punchlines and emotion’ Shoe Cake Comedy \nYour evening is complete with Howard Anstock in the middle spot.
