Arthur Smith
Comedian, compere and playwright. This grumpy old man per excellence presents the BBC Radio 4 show 'Excess Baggage' and has written four plays including 'An Evening With Gary Lineker' and 'Live Bed Show'. His stand-up topics range from vigorous yodelling to mediaeval literature via death by drink. His delivery is relaxed and sardonic, but his shows are a surprising, dark and witty treat. He's also one of the many 'Grumpy Old Men' that appear on BBC 2's hit show. 'The funniest and most honest comic of his generation' (The List).

Andy Storey
“Slick relaxed delivery…Wry punchlines efficiently packed in keeping the audience laughing.” – BBC Comedy Awards 2015. - Steve Bennett – Chortle. Born and Braised in the North of England BBC Radio New Comedy Award finalist 2015 Andy Storey is one of the most original, exciting and idiosyncratic rising stars of the post alternative comedy scene. His deliciously dry sense of humour, and effortless performance style mark him out as a refreshing, albeit positively cynical new voice in comedy. Andy started Stand-Up in November 2010 and since then has been remarkably prolific finding himself in the final of six major competitions. Notably ‘One to Watch’ runner-up at the world famous Up The Creek Comedy Club, Leicester Square New act of the year and the prestigious BBC Radio New Comedy Award 2015. ‘Effortless natural delivery. Leaps of verbal imagination. A thoroughly enjoyable act and a gentleman to boot!’ Jessica Crisp. In 2014 Jessica booked Andy to open for Jason Manford at the Great Ormond Street Charity Gala on The Strand.
