YOUR COMEDY LINEUP

Headline Act – Steve Hall

Steve Hall is a stand-up comedian and writer, who has opened for the likes of Lee Mack, Bill Burr and most notably Russell Howard, for whom he was the support across 6 different tours, playing venues such as Wembley Arena, the O2 and the Albert Hall.

He has taken several well received shows to the Edinburgh Festival. (“His phrasing is joyous and his choice of words close to poetic…tales of hilarious woe” – Metro)

Steve was the first ever guest stand-up on Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC), and went on to write on 6 series of that show, and 6 series of The Russell Howard Hour (Sky). He has also written for numerous comedians on Mock The Week, and for shows such as a League of Their Own and The Now Show. He is a regular guest on The Frank Skinner Show on Absolute Radio and has appeared on The Rest is History, Act Your Age and My Teenage Diary for BBC Radio 4.

Steve was also one third of legendary sketch group We Are Klang – “stupid comedy done with great intelligence” (The Times) – alongside Greg Davies and Marek Larwood. Steve wrote and starred in the group’s sitcom series for BBC 3 in 2009. We Are Klang were nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show in 2006, and the Barry Award at 2007’s Melbourne Comedy Festival.

Recently, Steve supported Frank Skinner on Tour in 2024 and opened for him at The Gielgud Theatre in August 2024.

“The most intelligent stand-up you’ve never heard of” (GQ)
“Russell Howard’s fine support act” (The Times)
“One fine comic” (Time Out)

Middle Act – Tiz White

Tiz is an award-winning, up-and-coming comedian who has been rising through the comedy ranks. Having performed across the South Coast, she’s quickly building a reputation for her bubbly personality and sharp, relatable humour. With her high-energy delivery and fresh perspective, she’s fast becoming one to watch on the UK comedy scene. Tiz was a finalist in Stand Up For Cider 2025! A very strong contestant!

Opening Act –Terry Mynot

Terry Mynott is a British actor and comedian appearing in BBCs Motherland and Toast of London. And many radio shows. Renowned for his exceptional talent for impressions and his distinctive, offbeat comedic style, he brings a unique energy to every performance.

MC – Ian Murphy

Ian is a Liverpool-born comedian blending 80s cynicism with modern confusion. A failed football career and losing £1m live on TV gave him plenty of material, alongside reflections on life away from his hometown and his slowly “recovering” scouseness.

A rapid riser on the circuit, he won Devon Comedian of the Year 2023, has appeared at Altitude Comedy Festival 2024 and Hot Water Comedy Club, and has supported Emmanuel Sonubi. Inspired by Morecambe & Wise, Tommy Cooper and Billy Connolly, Ian mixes classic wit with a contemporary edge.
