Stephen still finds the time to headline and MC gigs all over the country as well as being a regular guest on The Cutting Edge, deputizing presenter on BBC Southern Counties Radio, warming up and performing on some of the biggest comedy shows on TV and MCing for numerous corporate events.

KEVIN PRECIOUS:
Cerebral and incisive, yet always hitting that funny bone hard, Kevin Precious has a vocabulary as long as his CV, which is also long. So suffice to say he's played all over the country, curates the Barnstormers comedy chain throughout the south of England, and has even ventured to comedy clubs in New York, Reykjavik, and Japan. In 2008, he compered the ‘Loaded Lafta’ awards presenting awards to none other than Jimmy Carr, Adam Buxton, Paul Kaye, and Harry Enfield, to name but a few.

“Instantly recognizable stage presence and boundless wit” – Leicester Mercury

JOHNNY AWSUM:
With his likeable style and trusty guitar, Jonny's musings include everything from the white lies he tells his girlfriend to his new home town of Croydon and the memory of his first love at eight years old. In his first two years on the circuit Jonny won the Magners Funhouse Comedy Gongshow, the Comedy Café new acts night and completed a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with his hit show 'Playtime'.
