Comedian, presenter, actor and writer, Stephen Bailey is a proud northern, working-class, gay man. This multi-award nominated star’s indecorous brand of gossipy humour has singled him out as one of the UK’s most sought-after talents for comedy and entertainment formats.

As well as being a prominent talent on the UK comedy circuit, he has also supported the biggest names in stand-up, including Katherine Ryan, Jenny Eclair, Jason Manford, John Bishop and Sarah Millican.

Stephen’s quick-wit, playful sarcasm and enigmatic charm captivates instantly. He has already made a name for himself hosting Celebs on the Farm (Channel 5), Celebs on the Ranch (MTV) and Takeshi’s Castle (Comedy Central). He was the resident Agony Uncle on Zoe Ball on Saturday/Sunday (ITV) and a series regular on Big Brother’s Bit on the Side (Channel 5).

Multiple award winner Tal Davies is a deadpan Brummie who is taking the comedy circuit by storm. She is self-deprecating with hilarious effect, and she balances toe-curling anecdotes with dry observational humour. Her likeable stage presence is coupled with some refreshingly different observational comedy.

Andy Askins has built a reputation as a distinctive and original talent as a performer and joke writer. He has performed with Michael McIntyre, Lee Evans, Jason Manford, Alan Carr, Jimmy Carr, Micky Flanagan, Harry Hill, Rhod Gilbert, Bill Bailey and Jack Dee. He has performed at The Edinburgh Festival in 2016 and also at the Melbourne Comedy Festival 2018 and Adelaide Comedy Festival 2019.

On TV screens, Andy appeared at The Hackney Empire for The John Bishop Show (BBC1) alongside a stellar line-up from the worlds of comedy and music, Andy was then invited back to perform on the John Bishop Christmas Show at The Lyceum Theatre with Kylie Minogue and Olly Murrs.

He has performed all over the world and in venues as varied as, a company of soldiers in Saddam Hussein’s Palace in Iraq, to a sold-out Royal Albert Hall in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Since his appearance in the 2008 Chortle Student Comedy Award Final, Chester comedian and MC for the evening Danny McLoughlin has been making a name for himself across the circuit as a well-respected talent. His quick wit and sharp material has seen Danny firmly establish himself as a sought-after act on any stand-up bill, regularly performing at every major UK comedy club & music festivals including Latitude & Leeds as well as being a regular MC for the Edinburgh Comedy Awards Gala’s.

Danny has been hand-picked to support a number of high profile acts on tour including; Micky Flanagan, Sarah Millican, Doc Brown and Sean Lock.
