Well, where do we start when it comes to Bethany Black? We could tell you that Chorley’s funniest daughter is Britain’s only goth, lesbian, transsexual comedian but that was fully covered in her debut show – ‘Beth Becomes Her’.

As well as making people laugh a lot, Beth was spotted by Russell T Davis and played ‘Helen’ in Channel 4 series’ Cucumber, Banana and Tofu. This is all well and good but just how funny is she? Oh, don’t worry about that as the answer is ‘very’. Awards include winning the 2020 Joe Comedy Award and Bethany is British Comedy Guide recommended.

The last couple of years have seen him quit his job as a dinner lady, finally leaving home and becoming 2023 BBC New Comedy Awards winner, British Comedian of the Year and Bury Met Comedian Of The Year! Catch him while we can still afford him! Tour support for Micky Flanagan and Jamali Maddix. As seen on BBC, Channel 4, Comedy Central, Dave and ITV2.

‘Raucously entertaining’ The Guardian “Exhilarating…  ..a frenzy of laughter.” Chortle ‘A furious yet friendly, thrilling rollercoaster ride‘ The Telegraph “Witness a future stand-up star” British Comedy Guide

California’s Russell Hicks still can’t believe he gets to make people laugh for a living, travel the world, and most importantly, not wake up early on Monday mornings. A provocative and exuberant comedian with a rock star edge, his masterful weaving of improvisation with material has earned him a devoted following and appearances on Channel 4, BBC and ITV.
