Comedian and impressionist Danny Posthill is best remembered for his outstanding performance on the finals of Britain’s Got Talent. Danny’s hilarious stand-up features some very ‘special guests’ such as Alan Carr, Michael McIntyre, Gary Barlow, Sarah Millican and Donald Trump, alongside all the other topical political characters of today.

“Brilliantly funny” David Walliams

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.

Your evening comes complete with Manchester's Tabish Akbar. The comedians you see at Comedy @ The Venue, Crossgates in March are booked by Comedy In A Van
