• “Very funny… Quick-witted and exceedingly sharp” British Comedy Guide
• “Eloquent yet crass, charming yet arrogant. Above all, the man is hilarious. As far as comedy goes it doesn’t get much better than this” ★★★★★ The Advertiser

Middle Act – Oliver Young

Oliver Young is a new generation comic who has already impressed on the scene with his dry wit and writing skills, whether he’s annoyed at his average upbringing or trying to make you think he’s normal, he truly is one to watch, he’s a former Chortle Student Comedy Award semi-finalist and truly personifies the phrase, ‘first the worst second the best’. “Turns out a lot funnier than that sounds” – Bath Echo.

Opening Act – Mark Row

Since his first steps into stand-up as part of the Amazon Documentary ‘A1: The Long Road to Edinburgh’, Mark Row’s journey into the comedy world has been rapid. His world-weary take on life is hilarious, confident, funny and he is definitely one to watch!

MC – Stella Graham

Stella Graham is a naturally funny stand-up comedian, writer & actor.

Shameless, charmingly aggressive and unladylike, she’s the funniest half Sri Lankan gal from Coventry.
Stella has written comedy for TV and radio and presented shows on TV and radio.

She has also appeared in comedy sketches and found time to do some voice-overs. (Attention seeker.)
