FELICITY WARD

Felicity Ward has spent nearly two decades earning her reputation as one of Australia's sharpest comedic exports, taking her savagely honest, high-octane stand-up from Melbourne to Edinburgh to Live at the Apollo — plus screen roles including Wakefield, Time Bandits and the Australian remake of The Office. Her live shows have become the stuff of festival legend, packing rooms with near-standing ovations wherever she tours.

"The strongest single hour of solid jokes comes from Felicity Ward... in a rolling, ballsy, crazy show." — The Times

Winner, Best International Act, New Zealand International Comedy Festival

SARAH ROBERTS

Rising fast through the London circuit, Sarah Roberts pairs mischievous, playful storytelling with razor-tight punchlines that catch you completely off guard — the kind of comic critics keep tipping as the next big thing. Her debut hour, Silkworm, sold out at Soho Theatre and made waves across the national press, marking her out as one of the most talked-about new names in comedy.

"One of the 6 funniest comedians at the Fringe." — The Guardian

NICK KIRK

Nick Kirk keeps the London circuit guessing — one minute delivering dry, self-aware takes on the everyday absurd, the next slipping into his alter ego, safety officer Dave Steed, a character act built on immaculate timing and gleeful tragicomedy. Regularly featured on line-ups alongside the likes of Mark Watson, Athena Kugblenu and Stuart Goldsmith, he's become a dependable name for club nights across the capital.

"An amusing tragi-comic conceit and expertly performed with fine timing." — Chortle

ARCHIT GOENKA

Don't let the mild-mannered exterior fool you — Archit Goenka has a steely, cheekily provocative streak that catches audiences off guard, taking sharp aim at British political chaos and racial dynamics through the lens of his own background. A rapid climb through the new-act circuit has already marked him out as a Stand-Up Club one-to-watch.

"Demonstrating an unexpectedly steely attitude behind that mild-mannered exterior." — The Stand Up Club

Finalist, So You Think You're Funny?

MC DAN ATKINSON

Behind the camera he's helped shape some of the biggest comedy hits on TV, but come and see why he's in just as much demand as a performer. A natural-born compere with cheeky, off-the-cuff storytelling, he's warmed up audiences for Stephen Merchant, hosted national tours, and built a reputation as one of the circuit's most reliable, big-hearted MCs.

"An inspired choice for compere." — Chortle

A QUICK NOTE ON LINE-UPS: Because we always strive to put on the very best comedians we can find, occasionally that means they will get TV work or something that means they will cancel on us last-minute. It happens. In this instance we will always replace them with someone of equal quality, but if you're travelling to see a specific performer it's worth dropping us a quick message to check there hasn't been any changes. xxx
