Gavin Webster’s style of comedy is loud, sharp and controversial – and audiences love him for it. A definite Geordie, Gavin has superb stage presence. His material is bold and provocative yet delivered in a charming manner – which has brought him much praise and attention.

‘Surreal genius’ The Stage ‘Seriously funny’ ★★★★ Entertainment now

Audiences can be forgiven for underestimating Peter Brush when he takes to the stage. If ballsy bravado is your thing then Brush certainly isn’t your man! Peter’s slight frame, spectacles and scruffy hair adding nothing to the illusion that you are in for some first class entertainment.

”Compellingly hilarious.. …achingly funny” ★★★★★ Chortle

Howard Read has performed stand-up all over the world from the Aspen and Melbourne Comedy Festivals to being nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award. He’s headlined comedy clubs up and down the country, won a Writer’s Guild Award and performed in front of Royalty. If you’re aged around twenty then you may well remember both him and his alter ego, Little Howard from their telly days.  Little Howard now lives in Dubai.  As well as cracking gas and embarking of fitful flights of fancy, Howard sometimes plays the ukulele, but only so he’s got something to hit audience members with, when they try to stop him playing the ukulele.
