| Four
gut-bustingly brilliant headliners... |
|
 |
Russell Kane You couldn’t get a better headline act! Originally from Southend, Russell is rapidly making a name for himself on TV, recently hosting Big Brother's Big Mouth (on E4 and C4) and travelling across America filming a series of celebrity interviews for Five US. "Probably the most exciting comic discovery of the year" chortle.co.uk His critically-acclaimed debut show was nominated for if.comedy Best Newcomer Award (formerly the Perrier Award) at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe and in 2005 Russell came second in Channel 4’s So You Think You’re Funny. "Russell Kane's level of ability is amazing... His act combines huge energy and a freak physicality with a rapidly delivered torrent of remarks... Here's a performer with the instincts of a rabble-rouser." Time Out

Barbara Nice Mrs Barbara Nice - comedy creation of Janice Connolly - is your average Stockport housewife who has given up the domestic bliss of Tupperware and Poundstretcher for the unpredictability of the comedy world. No audience is too rowdy for her to handle - she's already raised five teenagers! "Imagine a hybrid between Mrs Merton and Victoria Wood" The TimesShe recently supported Johnny Vegas and Peter Kay and is now a headline act in her own right. On TV she has starred alongside Peter Kay as Holy Mary in Phoenix Nights and Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere, That Peter Kay Thing and Coronation Street - playing Peter Kay’s mother. "As hilarious as it is possible to get" The Scotsman

Shappi
Khorsandi Shappi Khorsandi is a bright, chirrupy comic who quickly envelops an audience with her appealing, slightly ditzy energy. That Tiggerishly friendly attitude, combined with her naturally talkative manner, creates a fertile environment in which her entertaining collection of anecdotes thrives. "She is as smooth as a baby's bottom" Edinburgh Evening News "Britain's best young female comic by any yardstick" The Guardian Shappi was nominated for best breakthrough act at the 2007 Chortle Awards.

| Manos
‘The Greek’ Intelligent, rude and very, very funny… Manos has just returned to his home in Dagenham from a successful run at this year’s Edinburgh Festival. And he’s ready to share his wealth of knowledge… all you need to know about Tracy, Dagenham and the chores of modern life... |
Danny

| Paul
Harry Allen “A warm hearted idiot with a funny and surreal edge” Channel 4 Finalist in 2006 Hackney New Act Final |

| Vikki
Stone Vikki launches herself into the spotlight clutching her Ukele for some stand-up with a comic musical twist. Not only was she a Semi-Finalist in Laughing Horse New Act of the Year 2007, Vikki has acted in the West End and even sung backing vocals on Elton John’s UK Tour. |
Danny
Dawes From his loveable Essex boy presence you’ll soon work out that Danny is a local lad (he grew up in Romford and went to school in Upminster). And what’s more, his dad's a vicar, so he's got an Almighty powerful support team! |
