Daliso Chaponda
Daliso is a versatile African comedian equally comfortable talking politics, romance, filth or religion. As such, he has performed in such diverse venues as churches, casinos, strip clubs and sports bars and was a finalist on Britain's Got Talent 2017. He has lived in countries where the press is not allowed to criticize the government, and in others with no libel laws where they can say anything. He has been both a journalist and a jaded newsreader. Daliso has appeared at many festivals that have included Melbourne, Edinburgh, Singapore and Cape Town Festivals. He is also a prolific fiction writer and has had his science fiction, murder mysteries and fantasy fiction published in numerous magazines and anthologies. He also co-wrote a play that aired on BBC Radio 4. 'Full of extravagant gestures and impassioned speeches. He inspires whoops and cheers from his watchers. Highly recommended' (BBC) 'A joy to listen to. Provocative, poignant and ultimately hilarious' (The Guardian) 'I laughed so much I thought I'd pass out!' (The List) 'It takes a special kind of act to work on both sides of the Atlantic (as well as across Africa), but it seems an easy transition as he compels the crowd with his racial and socially insightful comedy' (News and Star, Carlisle) 'Absolutely [took] the roof off the place. Brilliant, brilliant act' (The Frog and Bucket). Daliso Chaponda was #9 in Ents24's Hardest Working Comedians of 2018 list.

Chris Washington
'Chris began performing stand up comedy in July 2012, 14 months later he has over 200 gigs under his belt for a host of reputable promoters up and down the country and is fast becoming one of the most sought after new acts on the circuit. With a cheeky Northern charm and hilarious tales it's clear to see why Chris is flying up the comedy ladder' (<a href="http://www.comedycv.co.uk)" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.comedycv.co.uk)</a> 'Mark my words, he will be a big name' (Love Comedy) 'Hilarious stories' (Hull Daily Mail) 'Worth the entrance fee alone. Look out for this man!' (Otley Town Post) 'Chris has oodles of warmth and likeability, and an assurance which belies his tender years. This young man could well go all the way!' (Golf Comedy) 'Hilarious' (Yahoo Festival Review) '... the immediately likeable Chris Washington, who uses his Northern charm along with his hilarious tales to entertain the crowds...' (Funhouse Comedy).

Anthony J Brown
Clad in a sartorially edifying manner, like a dapper and dandy funeral director, Anthony cuts a unique on-stage presence with humour blacker than a raven that's slammed it's claw in a coffin lid. And not the merest hint of profanity. The overall effect is both perversely hypnotic and wholly original, leaving the audience zealously hanging on to every syllable like turncoat lemmings on a rockface. Jongleurs / Metro Stand And Deliver Award winner and former BBC New Comedy Award Runner-up, he is a regular contributor to Radio 2's The Arthur Smith Lectures. As seen on The Stand Up Show and Phoenix Nights. 'Dark quips and relentlessly witty audience-goading ad-libbing from a compelling host' (City Life) 'Hilarious ad-libs and wicked one-liners from an infectiously funny performer (The List).
