Paul Pirie
began his stand-up career after giving up
acting to pursue the funny man that lies
within, quickly establishing himself on the
Scottish comedy circuit before lauching onto
the UK comedy scene. It should be pointed
out that when Paul started stand-up in 2004
he was living with his Gran, having given
away the keys to his flat in a pub quiz.
Since this time Paul’s career has
encompassed TV, Film and Radio alongside his
burgeoning skill as a stand-up with Paul
emerging as one of the biggest Scottish acts
on the UK comedy circuit.
"Fizzing with energy and spewing out
one-liners like he had just scoffed a dodgy
prawn, Pirie is a man we will be seeing more
of" – Daily
Record
"His
delivery is superb" – Chortle
Since starting
in 2006, Gerry Howell has made quite an
impact on the scene. His eye-catching style,
which combines a rambling, rhythmic
stream-of-consciousness with brilliantly
conceived one-liners, has earned him award
success and critical acclaim.
"The
fast-rising free-associator Gerry Howell,
often likened to a young Eddie Izzard…
possesses a wonderfully befuddled stream of
consciousness" The
Guardian
"Surreal rambling brilliance… A truly
brilliant rising talent… A one man Mighty
Boosh" Time
Out
Mae Martin
began writing and performing comedy at
tender age of 13. In the 11 years since then
she has cemented her place in the Canadian
comedy scene, appearing on television and
radio across the country. She has been
nominated for two Canadian Comedy Awards,
and was the youngest ever nominee for the
prestigious Tim Sims Encouragement Fund
Award.She is currently based in the UK where
she has recently received rave reviews for
her Edinburgh show "MAE DAY".
"She’s
gentle but intelligent, sweet yet sharp, and
it’s a winning combination…after the night
is over, it’s Mae Martin people are talking
about. She’s the gem in an evening of
outstanding comic talent." – Spoonfed.co.uk
Hailing from
Dover is never a good start but James has
succeeded in becoming a fine young comic and
an excellent compere.
"His
deadpan delivery and quality of joke always
gets the laughs" –
Lonestar
