Tony Burgess has been making a living from this stand up comedy lark since his teens. An obsessive writer from an early age, flab free gags are the hallmarks of Tony?s scintillating sets. Whether it?s musings on the Madchester days of yore or surreal takes on contemporary family life, surrender to the onslaught of laughter will be your only option! All gags and routines come in Tony?s trademark Mancunian jackdaw delivery.

Audiences can be forgiven for underestimating Peter Brush when he takes to the stage. If ballsy bravado is your thing then Brush certainly isn?t your man. Peter?s slight frame, spectacles and scruffy hair add nothing to the illusion that we?re in for some first class entertainment. Leeds based Peter is a quirky and unique performer and the antithesis to loud, brash comedians. A gifted writer, he has supported comedy OG Alexei Sayle on his UK tour.
?Compellingly hilarious.. ?achingly funny? ????? Chortle
Howard Walker had a dream; he wanted to be a rock star. He tried. He tried so, so indifferently that he never succeeded. So after many years of half arsed-ness, he had another dream and put a bit more effort in. About time. He dreamed he wanted to be a stand up comedian, so this time he did it. You don?t have to learn the guitar you see.
The show comes complete with Teeside?s Matty Oxley. The comedians you see at Comedy @ Fourth Fiend, Meltham are booked by Comedy In A Van
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Tony Burgess
Stand-up comedian and writer who has worked on various sitcoms such as the award winning BBC 3 comedy Ideal (where he also played Troy, a mad DJ who lived in the airing cupboard). He has been called ‘The Clown Prince of Manchester Scallies’. His barbed wit and daring approach keeps his audiences on their toes as he challenges them, whilst still managing to allure them into loving him. Tony has also written for wide variety of comedians including Steve Coogan and Johnny Vegas. 'Always clever, often hilarious' (The Scotsman). 'A demon set and staggering stage presence...' (The Big Issue).

Peter Brush
Peter Brush is a highly distinctive performer and deft writer of finely crafted jokes. He unassumingly takes the stage with his slight bespectacled frame and scruffy hair, before consummately conquering it with an arsenal of razor sharp quirky one-liners and peerlessly original routines, all delivered in an amusingly awkward fashion. A BBC New Comedy Award Finalist 2013 & Harrogate Comedian of the Year 2012, he has also written for BBC Radio 4's 'The News Quiz'. 'An imaginative use of language and obtuse angles of thought that produce distinctive and eclectic gags... his best lines are inspired' (Chortle). “Unique observations and connections that stand-ups crave” (The Guardian).

Howard Walker
"A natural stage presence, an instantly amenable demeanour, inventive imagery and the best comedic use of a Belgian place name even the most ardent chuckle chaser will ever hear" - Stagefright Comedy
