Andy Parsons

Andy has enjoyed huge success as a writer and performer on television, radio and the live comedy stage. As well as a series regular on the award-winning Mock The Week (BBC 2), Andy has had numerous spots on Live At The Apollo (BBC 1), QI (BBC2), The Politics Show (BBC1), Newsnight (BBC2), The World’s Most Dangerous Roads (BBC2), Comedy World Cup (Channel 4), Saturday Live (ITV) and Channel 4’s Comedy Gala At The O2. He was also one of the main writers on the original Spitting Image on ITV. 'His delivery multiplies the humour. Big laughs unloading both barrels at British political and public life' (The Guardian) 'Laugh out loud funny... manages to be utterly likeable and very funny while being Mr Angry at the state of the world' (The Sunday Telegraph). 'Terrific satirical stand-up' (Independent on Sunday) 'What he lacks in hair, Parsons more than makes up for in originality' (The Daily Telegraph) 'Parsons is acerbic, sharp-witted and edgy...taking well-aimed potshots at politicians, celebrities and anyone who dares to talk rubbish' (The Daily Express). Andy Parsons was named in Ents24's top 5 hardest-working comedians of 2017.

Rosie Holt

Rosie Holt burst onto the comedy scene 2013 when she won So You Think You Write Funny: The Sitcom Trials. She went on to write and star in Fall Girl at the Gilded Balloon in a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival 2014. Punk playwright Mark Ravenhill described Rosie thus, "If Miranda Hart had Satan's Love child it would be Rosie Holt". Her one woman show in 2015 was a funny, filthy look at dating from a performer whose neuroses tie her up into even tighter knots of fantasy. Charming and hilariously personal, Rosie's musical comedy is wonderful to watch. 'Refreshing and very funny' BroadwayBaby.com

Rosie Jones

With her infectious laugh and high energy Rosie Jones brings 'huge laughs' (Chortle) and has quickly become a must-see act on the comedy circuit. The ex-television researcher was awarded second place in the Leicester Mercury's New Comedian Of The Year 2018, and has already starred on 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Last Leg: The Correspondents. With seemingly no end to her talents, Rosie is also an incredible actor, making her primetime debut as Serena in a Silent Witness two-part special.
