When you’re a working class, Scouser the jokes could pretty much write themselves, but Dean Coughlin eschews low hanging fruit and relies on a distinctive and whimsical approach to both writing and performance that adds genuine charm to any show.

This former tattoo artist has quickly established a reputation for his talent, winning Best Breakthrough Act in the 2023 North West Comedy Awards and Chorlte Hotshot Award in 2025.

Dean has gigged in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and Amsterdam as well as warming up tours shows for Paul Smith, Adam Rowe, Jason Manford, Fin Taylor and Lloyd Griffith.

Powerhouse stand up Connor Burns has been making waves in his native Scotland. Big waves. Waves so big, in fact, he has surfed down to England on them! Named as Best Newcomer in the Scottish Comedy Awards in both 2019 and 2020, Connor’s rapid rise was stalled by lock down meaning he ‘had to drive a f*cking delivery van for nine months’ Hilarious, Scottish-level cynicism and self-deprecation are what set Connor apart and have seen him support Daniel Sloss, Tom Stade, Gary Meikle and Larry Dean on their recent tours.
