Do note line-up is subject to change

KATIE PRITCHARD

Get ready for some high-octane musical comedy fun from carnage-wielding, mayhem-manifesting, human disco ball: Katie Pritchard. Expect incredible (very hand-made) costumes, chaos, and some pumping choons in a high-octane romp through Katie’s synapses; enjoy observational comedy from a completely different angle.

ROGER SWIFT

Roger Swift is a prop comedian who performs one-liners and visual puns at a furious pace. No stories, no observational comedy, just groan-worthy, zany madness that’ll force you into submission. Think Tim Vine meets Lee Evans.
