Dana Alexander is our May Cottenham headliner

Event information

One of Canada’s most outspoken and hilarious women has packed her bags for the UK and is currently taking the comedy circuit by storm.

Dana Alexander's comedic style is both refreshing and irreverent, drawing her material from her diverse lifestyle, her gay friends and her crazy Jamaican family.

This is a lady not to be missed! Culture shock meets hilarity, straight up stand-up from a fresh perspective. 'Like a gift from the comedy gods' - The Herald

Support for Alexander comes from Andy Watson, a quick-fire act who immediately grabs audiences with his sharp one-liners and leaves them in hysterics with his playful style and physical comedy skills. "An irresistible, infectious style that had the audience rapt from the get-go." Chortle.co.uk.

While many guitar-based acts use their musical skills to show off to an audience, Ashley Frieze has a unique angle. He cannot play the guitar that well. To distract from his mediocre musicianship, his songs are full of jokes and wordplay.

Our MC is Nik Coppin. A stand-up comic for more than 10 years, Nik has performed all over the world and developed an international cult following.

His confident, affable and energetic style of comedy is quick to build audience rapport, as he talks about subjects as wide-ranging as observations on human nature, his experiences in The Antipodes, Europe and Asia, his extensive knowledge of wildlife, superheroes, music, movies, current affairs and his mixed race up bringing in London. 

His versatility has also made him a much sought after compere. He has the ability to adapt to a multitude of audiences and is skilful, observant and affable enough put them immediately at ease. "He talks at 100mph and generates an irresistible atmosphere of good old-fashioned fun." Chortle.co.uk.
