Stevie Gray (Opener)
A cheeky and very likeable comedian, Stevie Gray’s stage act fuses jokes, music, news stories and audience participation to create an up-tempo energy in any room. The recent addition of a guitar on stage has added an extra-dimension to Stevie’s act and made him one of the hottest new acts on the UK comedy circuit.
Oldham born Stevie is gaining popularity as an opening act, with promoters believing his energy can be used as a catalyst to warm the crowd for the rest of the evening. However, the versatility of Stevie’s act means he never looks out of place anywhere on the bill, resulting in him both compering and headlining numerous gigs, as well as performing a number of warm-up gigs for TV and radio.
Stevie has headlined a show at the Woking Comedy Festival, beat the gong at the Comedy Store, appeared several times at Jongleurs, played numerous gigs at the Edinburgh festival and has performed on numerous stages at Glastonbury.
Stevie has started playing bigger venues and has performed on shows with Lee Mack, Milton Jones, Trevor Lock and Paul Sinha.
A keen traveller and driver, Stevie is very committed to fulfilling his dream of performing in every County in the UK and Ireland. Stevie is on the books of many UK promoters and with help from Mirth Control has currently played in 22 Counties of the UK.

Gavin Webster (Headliner)
Gavin Webster’s style of comedy is loud, sharp and controversial – and audiences love him for it. A definite Geordie, Gavin has superb stage presence. His material is bold and provocative yet delivered in a charming manner – which has brought him much praise and attention.
Gavin Webster has now established himself as one of the most exciting talents to emerge on the national comedy circuit in recent years. After turning his back on the comedy double-act, he went solo in 1995 and hasn’t looked back.
Gavin performed in Does Doug Know with Daisy Donavon for Channel 4 as a regular team captain and currently performs at every major comedy venue throughout the UK including the prestigious Comedy Store’s ‘Men At Work’ topical comedy night. He has also supported LEE EVANS, JACK DEE and PHILL JUPITUS on tour.
Phil Jerky (Middle)
Witty, crude, and irreverent, Phil shares the more ridiculous side of living with a disability, and the odd knob gag.
Ian Crawford (Middle)
Ian Crawford is a Cutlery Safety Professional and General International Health & Safety Expert and what he has to share is deadly serious. You’d be forkin’ mad to miss him. Sketch Off Finalist (2023) and Leicester Comedy Fringe Silver Comedian of the Year (2023) second place runner-up.
“Funny from start to finish” ★★★★ (The Reviews Hub)
“Forking good health and safety-based comedy has tears rolling down cheeks” ★★★★ (TheWeeReview.com)
This is a must-see for anyone with a strong sense of the ridiculous” ★★★★ (SGFringe.com).
Henry Michael (MC)
Henry Michael joins us with stories from the NHS frontline. As an A&E doctor, he has seen some incredible sights and will regale you with stories of the frankly unbelievable state the general public can get in to. Never less than entertaining, and probably the only chance you’ll get to see a doctor this year!
