Chris Washington

Chris Washington appearing at this event

'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).

Chris Stokes

Chris Stokes appearing at this event

Calm, laid back demeanour, combined with a hilarious and erudite turn of phrase. Chris Stokes has supported Milton Jones on tour. He quit stand-up for a while and worked as an RSPCA van driver, but returned with a discernible confidence to tell some amusingly interesting accounts and theories. 'A comedic star' - Huddersfield Examiner.

Andrew Watts

Andrew Watts appearing at this event

Extremely distinctive comedy from a former London solicitor. 'Posh and witty... exquisitely funny... one of the new comics making waves' (Time Out) 'His comedy is intelligent and so up-to-date it could be read by Jon Snow' (Cream of the Fringe) 'There's intelligent wit, honesty and more interesting and provocative thoughts in his show than many comics manage in a decade... Andrew Watts is so engaging, so entertaining and so persuasive that we are all sad when his clever, personal and very funny hour comes to an end' (The Scotsman) 'His distinctive style stands out – a winning mixture of pomposity, insecurity and emotional incompetence, while the fury-inducing importance he places on the trivial makes for a winning comic stance' (Chortle) 'Lovers of stand-up laced with a cerebral cutting-edge should, without further prevarication, flock to his show' (Three Weeks).
