In 2005 Tom Allen won the competition So You Think You’re Funny in Edinburgh and went on to win the BBC New Comedy Award later that same year. Since then he has performed at Montreal festival Just For Laughs, on tour in the US with Eugene Mirman and Reggie Watts and in the last two years has made his debut at Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne Comedy Festivals. He has also performed his own show at the Edinburgh Festival for the past six years and supported Sarah Millican and Josie Long on tour.

As an actor he has performed in Colour Me Kubrick with John Malkovich, Starter for Ten with James McEvoy and the Stephen Frears film, Tamara Drewe. Tom plays Pip in the Sony Award winning Bleak Expectations. He grew up in Bromley. As a teenager he was the youngest member of the Noel Coward Society.

He responds well to strong women and deadlines.

“Tom Allen, a great storyteller whose ability to provide riotous entertainment deserves to net him a wider audience…his live work sees him telling outlandish tales from his seemingly very eventful life. Allen is one of life’s true eccentrics, a being who exists at an angle to the rest of us.” The Guardian

“One of the funniest acts on the circuit…he has continued to storm every gig he does.”

Award-winning (Best Show – Dave’s Leicester Comedy Festival 2012) Chris Stokes has been performing stand-up comedy since 2007 and since then has supported Milton Jones and Pete Firman on UK tours, shown up on Dave’s One Night Stand and taken two acclaimed solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe as well as appearing on several mixed bill showcases.

With an hilarious and erudite turn of phrase, his act has been described as playing on social misconceptions and dismantling them on stage via gag-packed first-hand anecdotes told with a charming and offbeat sincerity. As well as stand-up, Chris is also one quarter of new sketch comedy group The Mitford Sisters and has had several articles published.

“Very gifted… Has the talent to one day have the world at his feet.” ★★★★ The List

“Real talent… It takes some flair to mix script, tangent, conversation, heartbreak and make it all look so effortless.” ★★★★ The Skinny

“Very smart material…a gag at each step.” Chortle

Jack is probably the only stand up on the circuit with a degree in Chinese. What a waste. After working his way around the stand up and sketch circuits, performing at nights for CKP, Knock 2 Bag, The Invisible Dot and the BBC Comedy Tent in Edinburgh, Jack then went on to support James Acaster on the UK tours of Edinburgh Award-nominated shows Prompt (2012), Lawnmower (2013), and Recognise (2014). He can also be seen on James Acaster’s web series Sweet Home Lahnsteineringa.

Jack first appeared at the Edinburgh Festival as part of critically acclaimed student sketch group Leeds Tealights, named Best Student Sketch Group in 2010. Since then he has performed as part of the Pleasance Comedy Reserve and in double-header Your New Mild Friends. In 2014, Jack performed in the prestigious Comedy Zone. He returned to Edinburgh in 2015 with his debut hour “This Title Came to Me in a Dream”, described as “a strong debut hour of stand-up and enormous potential” (Broadway Baby).

Along with being a solo act, Jack writes and performs as one half of the acclaimed sketch duo Twins, as seen on ITV2’s @elevenish. Twins’ second Edinburgh Fringe show Pret A Comedy was produced in association with Hat Trick Productions in 2015. It has been described as “ridiculously funny… and genuinely impressive” (Edinburgh Reporter – ****) and was selected as one of James Acaster’s Top Picks of the Fringe 2015 for The Guardian.

Originally from Nottingham, Sarah Keyworth is fast-becoming a regular on the London circuit and has recently supported Stewart Francis on tour. Her material is a mix of honest anecdotal storytelling about her Midlands upbringing, made surreal with the occasional addition of a silly observation. She delivers sharp lines with a cheeky smile and moments of sudden deadpan that leave the audience wanting more.
