GARY DELANEY

“Expect a cavalcade of brilliantly inventive puns from this master of the one-liner, a craftsman to be ranked along with likes of Tim Vine and Milton Jones”
– The Guardian

Gary Delaney is a razor sharp one-liner comedian, who is widely regarded as being the most quotable comic on the circuit. The high quantity of stand out gags leaves the audience struggling to remember them all.

Gary has written for a variety of TV and radio programmes including 8 Out of 10 Cats, Mock The Week, Russell Howard’s Good News, Jason Manford’s Comedy Rocks, and Radio 4’s The News Quiz. Gary received two Sonys for his work for Kerrang! Radio. Gary’s Twitter feed was also nominated for a Chortle Award in 2011.

JO ENRIGHT

“Jo Enright is one of the most naturally gifted comic talents I’ve ever seen.  I’d put her in the same league as Julie Walters.”  PETER KAY

For more than a decade now the highly acclaimed comedienne Jo Enright has crafted a completely unique style of stand-up comedy.  As well as performing it both on television and radio, Jo also thrives on live theatre performances, winning several comedy awards including the 2002 Chortle Award for ‘The Best Female Circuit Comic’ and the 2001 ‘Best Female on the Jongleurs Comedy Circuit’ award.

Alongside stand-up she is in demand as a character actress appearing as the lead female ‘Beverley’ in Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights (C4), ‘Cara’ in “Lab Rats” (BBC1) Peter Kay’s “Britain’s Got The Pop Factor and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice”, playing the lead female ‘Jackie’ and most recently she once again played the part of Carol in the hit comedy series “IDEAL” for the BBC.

STEVE ROYLE

A former court jester at the Camelot theme park where he presented more than 2,000 juggling shows, Steve Royle has supported both Peter Kay and Dave Spikey on tour.

As well as his stand-up, he is also co-founder of the Slaughterhouse- Live character comedy group.
