About me? I won Celebrity Mastermind on the 30th of December 2011 on BBC1 – my chosen subject was Les Dawson. I’m a vegetarian, dog owner, father of two and I like Batman quite a bit. I’m a comedian, actor, writer and radio presenter. I’m not very good at juggling or triple jump. I’ve done a couple of pantomimes and more theatrically I’ve done two very lovely plays at the Royal Exchange in Manchester. I write and appear in the Radio 4 sitcom called Everyone Quite Likes Justin – it’s often repeated on Radio 4 Extra I’ll be popping up here and there doing gigs all over the place. I’m on tour and all the dates are on my website. I’m very good at hosting corporate events and doing after-dinner stuff. You can ask my agent for nice letters people have written about me (I’ve got my own black suit and everything) I delivered a car to Sally once on Coronation Street. I was Doug, she told me to do one. I did one. Then I went back to Weatherfield for 3 episodes as Dean Upton the landlord of The Flying Horse in Summer 2014 – a role I still play (completely off screen).

Cheeky, quick off the mark and side achingly funny. Having trained as an actress at The Oxford School of Drama in the 90s, Lou Conran has gone on to craft her career as a comedian - A high energy storyteller with an instinctive wit that has been wowing audiences and industry alike over the last 15 years.

Danny McLoughlin has the sharp wit & material, likeable persona and strong stage presence that have seen him become a much sought after act in his short time as a stand up.

A finalist in the Chortle Student Comedian of The Year in 2008, Danny went on to perform as part of the prestigious Big Value Comedy Show during Edinburgh Festival 2009.

He also supported Al Pitcher on his UK Tour and is booked by some of the UK's biggest gigs and promoters.

Your MC for the evening is stand-up comedian, improviser and comedy producer Burt Williamson, based in Bristol. He’s had two critically acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Fringe while also having self-produced his debut comedy hour 200 IQ Audience Only (No Munters) which is available on YouTube. At once silly and serious, smart and stupid Burt packs dense punchlines with know-it-all smarm and goofy charm to hilarious effect. At the forefront of a new and exciting generation of comics emerging from Bristol, Burt leads the charge on a new wave of talent in British comedy.

“His beautifully crafted set is clever in unguessable ways, unexpectedly hilarious at every turn and a great joy wrapped up in a big laugh, sprinkled with adorable.” - ★★★★ The Scotsman
