Alun Cochrane
A tall, gangly Northerner who delivers his own brand of no-nonsense humour. He has made appearances on Just A Minute, Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week and Nevermind The Buzzcocks. 'A master storyteller, holding the audience before dropping an exploding but simple punchline...' (Metro) 'Filled with prime laugh-out-loud stupid moments' (The List, Glasgow & Edinburgh) '... real craft and creativity... results that satisfy both the comedy purists and those who simply want big laughs on a big night out' (The Guardian) 'The best, as well as the most natural stand-up I've seen' (The Independent) 'Alun Cochrane's ability to make the little things in life a comedy goldmine is phenomenal' (Chortle) 'Brilliant no-frills stand-up comedy' (The List) 'A no-nonsense comedian who specialises in funny nonsense' (Camberley Theatre).

Anthony J Brown
Clad in a sartorially edifying manner, like a dapper and dandy funeral director, Anthony cuts a unique on-stage presence with humour blacker than a raven that's slammed it's claw in a coffin lid. And not the merest hint of profanity. The overall effect is both perversely hypnotic and wholly original, leaving the audience zealously hanging on to every syllable like turncoat lemmings on a rockface. Jongleurs / Metro Stand And Deliver Award winner and former BBC New Comedy Award Runner-up, he is a regular contributor to Radio 2's The Arthur Smith Lectures. As seen on The Stand Up Show and Phoenix Nights. 'Dark quips and relentlessly witty audience-goading ad-libbing from a compelling host' (City Life) 'Hilarious ad-libs and wicked one-liners from an infectiously funny performer (The List).
