Event information

Canadian comedian Allyson June Smith honed her craft headlining multiple high-profile festival slots at the Winnipeg, Halifax and Montreal’s Just For Laughs festivals, winning nominations for Best Female Stand-up at the Canadian Comedy Awards. A self-confessed “over-sharer”, Allyson serves up a potent observational cocktail of wit, bite and shame.
“Simply one of the funniest comedians I’ve ever worked with,” – Jason Manford
"Assuredly self-deprecating… hilarious comedian" – THE NATIONAL (UAE)
"Wasn’t afraid to be shocking and explicit… hilarious" – THREEWEEKS (EDINBRUGH)
“Yet another hilarious Canadian with great hair” – STEWART FRANCIS

Tom Little is an award-winning comedian. In 2015 he won the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year (an award also won by acts such as Johnny Vegas, Jason Manford, Rhod Gilbert and Romesh Ranganathan) which he never stops banging on about. He was also a BBC Radio New Comedy Award finalist and his 2018 Edinburgh show was nominated for the Amused Moose Comedy Award. He plays the well-read fool, taking on hugely diverse facts, but refusing to deal with them conventionally, with a unique turn of phrase.
‘Inventive, unexpected and often very silly…. He surely can’t remain a hidden treasure for long.’ **** – Chortle
‘His elevation to TV panel show favourite is surely only a matter of time.’ **** – The Wee Review
‘The real deal. An instinctive comedian with oodles of charm and a quirky, frenetic intensity…. If he cuts his energy levels by 10% he could end up in movies.’ – The Spectator
‘A huge talent.’ – The Scotsman

El Purnell is, in his own words, ‘Soy el primero, numero uno comicá d'Ecuador.’ And who are we to disagree (as we don’t speak Spanish)?

MC for the evening is the ever-excellent Danny Sutcliffe!
“Dazzles with his mix of surreal and observational gags. A manic, unruly energy belies a great writing talent” – The Skinny
