UK COMICS’ COMIC 2022 – BEST ACT

AS SEEN ON MOCK THE WEEK

DAVE’S TOP 10 JOKES AT THE EDINBURGH FRINGE

...AND HE USED TO LIVE IN FOLKESTONE!

Mark is an exceptional one-liner comedian.
It won him a place in Dave’s prestigious Best Joke of The Fringe in Edinburgh 2017. His solo show at the festival, One-Linerer was also a huge hit, with sell out shows every day and was nominated Best Show by the Amused Moose Comedy Award Fringe Show 2017. He then continued this success with his follow-up show, One-Linererer, which was also a sell out!

“Master of one liners” one4review ★★★★★

Mark is constantly on the rise and since being in the finals of several noteworthy competitions, such as Leicester Mercury Comedian of The Year, So You Think You’re Funny and the NATY Award, he has been in high demand for the top UK comedy clubs, such as Glee, Manford’s Comedy Club, Comedy Central and Just The Tonic, headlining the majority of them. Also, he has been recently supporting Seann Walsh, Rob Beckett and Rob Brydon on their national tours, as well as one off shows supporting Michael McIntyre, Sean Lock and Jack Dee.

ELAINE FELLOWS

Elaine Fellows is one of the brightest new comics on the circuit. Originally from Southport but now living in Brighton, she’s bringing her Northern nonsense to the South.

She was recently tour support for Colin Hoult’s ‘Death of Anna Mann’ Tour.

“Delightfully low energy, holds the audience well” – The Reviews Hub
“Absolutely fantastic. A star in the making”- Brighton Grin
“Likeable, funny and endearing.” – Three Weeks Edinburgh

PAGGY

Surrealist Paggy will guide you through a high-energy adventure; an exciting, thought-provoking exploration of life through an autistic lens. Get ready for a journey through a literal mind where unfiltered joy is strictly encouraged.

GARY WALSH

Gary, with his natural storytelling ability, has been leaving audiences helpless with his tales of youthful dalliance in drug dealing, growing up on a London council estate, and his recent run-ins with the NHS.

All shows with resident MC DAN ATKINSON

“(Atkinson) would otherwise deservedly be a headline act in his own right…through his enthusiasm and shambolic charm managed to captivate the thousand-strong crowd whilst still engaging with the audience on a personal level” - Londonist

All line-ups are correct at the time of publishing. Occasionally we will get changes to the line-up, some of them unavoidable and last minute. It might be travel, or sickness, you can never be sure.

In the event of an act cancellation, we'll always put on a show and to the very best of our abilities get a like-for-like replacement. We'll always pull out the stops to get you the best night we can muster. If you're coming to see a specific advertised comedian, it's best to message us a few days before the gig just to check that something grisly hasn't happened to them.
