SIMON MUNNERY
Described by the Guardian as one of "comedy's enduring eccentrics" Simon Munnery has been a pioneer of alternative comedy for over 20 years. His work includes winning the prized Golden Rose of Montreux for his wonderful TV series Attention Scum, appearances on The Alternative Comedy Experience & Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle and pretending to be Banksy's Lawyer.

"He's nothing less than a genius" - The Guardian
"There are more brilliant ideas in one of Simon Munnery's shows than most comics will manage in a lifetime" -The Times
"Genius is a grossly overused and even more grossly misused word - which I am about to use. I think Simon Munnery might just be a comic genius"- ***** The Scotsman

PHIL NICHOL
WINNER Best Show Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2006
Phil has become established as one of the most exciting acts on the circuit. He's been nominated three times as best headliner at the Chortle Awards and portrayed Terry Gilliam in BBC's critically acclaimed comedy drama Holy Flying Circus.

"Madness, mayhem and magic, as only Nichol has mastered" **** - Chortle
"A mini-masterclass in eking out belly laughs from the simplest premise" - **** - The Guardian

NISH KUMAR
Super Smart and slick Nish has featured in the second series of Stewart Lee-curated The Alternative Comedy Experience on Comedy Central. He's just finished another successful run at the Soho Theatre with his third Edinburgh Show, the catchily named Ruminations on the Nature of Subjectivity.

"If you like your comedy to be intelligent, inventive, thought-provoking and delivered with a passion, urgency and enthusiasm then you're going to love Nish Kumar's show" ***** - TimeOut
"a tight, smart set from a comic who confesses self-absorption while engaging expansively with the way we live now" **** - The Guardian
"Nish Kumar is the Asian answer to John Oliver" **** - Chortle

GABBY BEST
Rising Character comedian Gabby has been gaining attention since winning the Funny Women competition in 2012. Since then she has gone on to appear on Live at the Electric (BBC3) as her alter ego Marijana, health and happiness guru to the stars.

"Best's character comedy is sweet and sharply improvised" - The List
"Inspired performance" -The Telegraph

MC: TOM WEBB

"Ingenious and fresh" - Time Out
