Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Jo Caulfield
Graham Norton's writer and warm-up artiste, co-founder of the 'Hampstead Clinic' comedy club. She is regular performer at the Comedy Store and on The Stand Up Show. Jo is a regular guest on both Mock The Week and Have I Got News For You. Other TV appearances include The John Bishop Show, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Saturday Night Live, The Stand Up Show. Dubbed 'funniest woman in Britain', she lives up to the title with razor-sharp wit, acerbic observations and scandalous one-liners, all excellently written and impeccably delivered. 'Cut-throat wit and a razor-sharp tongue...Sharp-witted, urban comedy that goes down a treat. Like a sociology textbook, but with jokes' (The Times). 'Incapable of doing a bad show, so sharp is her tongue and so in tandem is it with her mischievous mind' (The Scotsman). 'Feisty, funny and wonderfully bitchy... one of the finest female comics' (The Observer).

Mike Newall
Deadpan comedian who has been likened to Liam Gallagher 'with wit. And a vocabulary'. 'His laid back delivery almost insinuates a disinterest in the proceedings, but his timing is pin sharp, his control is deft and his hair is immaculate' (The Scotsman) 'Mike Newall's style is quiet, thoughtful and casual. The material is excellently timed, deceptively clever and very funny' (City Life).

Tom Little
Cumbrian-born stand-up comic and winner of the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2015. Tom was also in the final of the BBC Radio New Comedy Award 2014, joint third in the Beat The Frog World Series 2014 and made it through to the later stages of several other prestigious competitions in 2014, having only been performing comedy since July 2013. 'Tom's original style and inventive material stood out in what was a stellar night of strong performances' (Leicester Mercury) 'Little's showstopping set-piece... made an immediate impact and it was no surprise that the judges felt that that he was the front runner' (Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke) 'Tom Little is an exciting and unique voice on the comedy scene. No joke seems to know where it's coming from, but when it lands it'll break your brain. In a nice way. We expect big things for this lad' (Sham Bodie).
