Andrew White has been described by Joe Lycett as “very exciting and very funny” and by teachers as “a pleasure to teach” (gay).
​
An in demand live act, Andrew works for some of the best comedy promoters and festivals in the country (Glee, Komedia, The Comedy Store Roadshow, Latitude, Standon Calling, The Boat Show, Forge Comedy Club, etc), and is a popular choice for tour support having opened for top acts like Catherine Bohart, Helen Bauer, Troy Hawke & Kiri Pritchard-McLean.

Instantly likeable, Catherine Young is here to bring you joy! Winner of the Hilarity Bites New Act of the Year 2019, Catherine is quickly making a name for herself as one of the most exciting new acts to come out of the North-East in recent years. From Irish decent, Catherine is a warm, yet fearless, electric act. Her comedy is light-hearted, full of mischievous stories and friendly humour, with the perfect mix of energy, punchlines and emotion. After a career in mental health, and as a singer in the working men's clubs, connecting with people is at the heart of who she really is.

In 2023, Scott Bennett recorded his first Radio 4 special “Stuff” for  BBC Radio 4 and in the same year he supported Mickey Flanagan on tour including a 10,000 seat arena show in Nottingham.

In 2021 he recorded his debut for Live at the Apollo BBC1. You will have heard him as a regular guest on BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, The Now Show, The Likely Dads and Elephant in the Room with Sarah Millican. He also appeared on The Summer Festival with Daliso Chaponda, The Comedy Club with Arthur Smith, and Knock Knock with Helen Lederer. In 2018, he also featured on the BBC One show, Live from The Edinburgh Fringe.

During the lockdown of 2020, Scott pioneered the viral hit, Stand up from the Shed, a weekly topical live streamed stand up show from his actual garden shed. The show achieved national coverage in the press, Sky News, BBC News and Five Live.

Since starting comedy in 2017, Liverpool comedian and Mc for the evening Dean Coughlin has performed all over the UK  including Edinburgh, and overseas in Australia and New Zealand.

He regularly performs in the UK’s most renowned clubs and has opened for Adam Rowe on his tour in 2020 and will also be supporting Danny McLoughlin on tour in 2022.

Keep an eye out for this hilarious up and coming comedian…he was born with funny bones!
