A sensational live performer, Yorkshire man, marathon runner and former (double award-winning) Time Out Comedian of the Year, Paul Tonkinson has long upheld his esteemed reputation as one of the finest stand-ups the UK has to offer. With a unique and distinctive style, Tonkinson is noted for his effervescent physicality and skilful impressions, which bring alive exuberant, tender comic reflections on love, family and the day-to-day idiosyncrasies of 21st century life. A plethora of first class material, combined with tremendous charm and irrepressible, infectious energy make for a formidable talent.

“Nobody makes me laugh like Paul Tonkinson“ Michael McIntyre “One of the best sights in comedy.” Seann Walsh

As daft as it is deft, Tom Taylor’s highly individual musical comedy is a surefire winner in front of any crowd. During the dark days of lock down, Tom collaborated with David Walliams, Mel Giedroyc, Graham Norton, Clare Balding and even Cliff Richard to create The Isolation Song Contest. Not only did this earn a very tidy sum for some very good causes but won Tom a Chortle Award into the bargain! When not performing stand up Tom writes and performs one man murder mystery plays.

“Wave after wave of funny” The Scotsman “Gloriously silly” The Stage “Excellent … beautifully daft” Sunday Times

One of the few comics able to play to any audience without compromising on his material, Dave Longley can delight a hen party and the comedy connoisseur on the same night. on the one hand, abrasive, crude and insulting and on the other, articulate, intelligent, charming and disarmingly funny. Longley’s towering stage presence and intensity, combined with his cutting wit have made him one of the most popular circuit comics in the UK, whether it’s doling out thought-provoking insights or revelling in toilet humour, Longley is a gifted wordsmith with great audience interaction skills.

“Highly original and bloody funny” Three Weeks “Intelligent, silly, thought-provoking and filthy” Metro
