Scott Bennett
Stylishly shirted, Yorkshire-born Scott Bennett delivers wry observations on the absurdity of modern living. His sharply-written routines, drawn from real-life experiences have been delighting audiences across the country; except in Yorkshire, where they are deeply suspicious of his shirts. Likeable, with a warm and engaging delivery, he is a Yorkshire live wire with an undeniable no nonsense logic. English Comedian of the Year Runner Up, Comedy Cellar New Act of the Year and Old Speckled Hen Comedian of the Year. 'A generous helping of wonderfully witty comic observations about life's little quirks, relationships and human behaviour. Served by a Yorkshireman with relentless enthusiasm and boundless energy' (<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk)" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.bbc.co.uk)</a> 'Naturally hilarious, the highlight of the evening' (Broadway Baby, Edinburgh Fringe 2013) 'A star of the future' (Huddersfield Examiner) 'This loveable rising star enthrals his audiences with his warm and engaging delivery, he is a Yorkshire live wire with an undeniable no nonsense logic' (Funhouse Comedy).

Chris Cantrill
“Simple and bizarre punchlines with unerring skill” Edinburgh Festivals Magazine, ***** “Chris Cantrill, with the help of his trusty laptop, performs a surrealist presentation that would have Dali’s moustache twitching with pleasure. A mystical journey into a cheese-filled nightmare, the content and its delivery are straight out of the top drawer.” Whats-on-London
