“A very established act, with a strong set. He stepped up on one of my nights where he was doing a middle. The closer couldn’t make the gig. Kevin went back on and had a wonderful gig, would highly recommend to other promoters” Laughter Craft Comedy (Jonathan Elston)

“One of the fastest rising acts on the comedy circuit, Kevin has gone from open spots to full paid weekend spots in lightening fast time, with a great ability to read the room and incorporate callbacks to things that happened earlier in the night” Funhouse Comedy (Mike Bottomley)

“A pro level comic, his room work and material completely gelled, he has a cracking comedy brain. Not only a bookable act but a banker of an act” Notts Comedy Review

“Extremely bookable act and gets better every time I see him.” Proper Funny (Jason Neale)

“His storytelling ability belies his experience, and he never fails to deliver a top notch performance” RockCentral Promotions (Anthony Williams)

Ant Dewson (Headliner)

Ant Dewson is a comedian, mediocre piano player and singer of silly songs (many of which are rude). He performs at the top comedy clubs in the country, from The Stand in Edinburgh to Up The Creek and Angel in London.

Ant has shared the stage with some of the best comedians in the country including Micky Flanagan, Frank Skinner and Lee Mack. He’s also shared the stage with some right shockers, all of whom he is too polite to mention here.

Ant is a comedy writer for shows on BBC Radio 4 and Sky One. He’s also performed on BBC Radio London and is a regular presenter on Riverside Radio.

Ant passed his Grade 6 violin with merit.

Dawn Bailey

Dawn is a 40 something (ahem just turned 50) Mum who views life through happy specs and giddy knickers (her own words).

An original performer, Dawn won the XS Manchester Radio Comedian of the Year in 2016, which led to her presenting a show on the station

A likeable and affable nature, Dawn is a regular on the UK comedy circuit and performs for some of the most reputable promoters in the Country.

Dawn’s honesty regarding life and love are raw, straight to the point and comes with a no-holds-barred delivery. She is a merry maker and definitely loves to have a damn good chuckle

Pin sharp anecdotes from a life juggling a career, kids, attending weekly slimming club meetings and the joys of involuntary flatulence… she’s a very funny lady”- The BBC

Louis Etienne

Bradford-based observationalist comedian who likes to talk about race, sex and all things taboo.

Jack Wilson

Jack is three years in to doing stand-up and was described as “brilliant” by Micky P Kerr and “The guys got his game together” by Nish Kumar and “One of the most intelligent joke writers on the circuit” Rock Central.

Josh Reynolds

Josh Reynolds used stand up as a coming out device on both they’re sexuality and gender. It’d have been easier to just post on TikTok… but since then they have been shortlisted for LGBTQ+ new comedian of the year 2022, runner up of best new act – Midlands comedy award amongst others.
