Your host for the evening is the brilliantly mischievous Barry Dodds, a master of off-the-cuff laughs and quick-fire banter who will keep the night bouncing from start to finish.
A top-quality support act completes the bill, adding even more laughs to a night packed with comedy talent.

Liam Withnail
'Cockney Motorhouse Liam Withnail has been entertaining the audiences of Scotland, and beyond for upwards of 6 years... hilarious storytelling, acute observations and unbelievable anecdotes' (<a href="http://www.seetickets.com)" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.seetickets.com)</a> 'Outrageously hilarious' (Adelaide Advertiser) 'Good, anarchic fun' (The Scotsman) 'MC Liam Withnail deserves a special nod for getting the pace of the gig just right, with some slick, fast-paced banter with the crowd. He kept roughly on time with 20 acts to get through, while making sure every competitor came out to a pumped-up audience' (The Skinny).

Barry Dodds
This charming Geordie motor-mouth has audiences in the palm of his hand, even when discussing the most near the knuckle subjects. With material ranging from the supernatural to euthanasia, everything is delivered with a cheeky smile that wins over even the most stony faced of the audience. A finalist in various high profile competitions such as Jimmy Carr’s Comedy Idol and Jongleurs Last Laugh Comedy Search, his twinkly eyed, playful demeanour disarms judging panels, industry experts and audiences alike, allowing him flirt coquettishly with topics that are traditionally a little more unusual. 'Hugely enjoyable... a ton of great stories... one to watch' (The Guardian) 'Razor sharp humour' (Metro) '... the appealing and perceptive Barry Dodds... captivates his audiences with his energy, spirit and tantalizing wit. His mix of surprisingly uncanny and irrepressibly cheeky material leaves them wanting for more' (Funhouse Comedy).
