Ellie is one of the fastest rising superstars on the the UK comedy scene. After starting comedy in 2010, telling tales of her previous life as a model, Ellie quickly gained acclaim for her smart gags, hilarious self-mockery and tremendously skilful mimicry. Since then she has appeared on Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats and The John Bishop Show and has just returned from her first UK tour.

“Radiates natural charisma… blessed with great flair.” The Guardian

“Smart, self-mocking and telegenic, it’s hard to see what else is going to stand in Taylor’s way.” The Scotsman

“Charismatic, personable and bright.” Chortle

Born in Sweden to immigrant Chinese parents, Evelyn Mok challenges pre-disposed norms by blending social commentary with sharp gags about everyday observations. With an inimitable delivery and a beautifully original perspective on many of life’s big issues, Evelyn approaches each topic with a refreshingly unapologetic attitude that had Steve Bennett of Chortle deem her “brutal but funny”.

In her native Sweden, Mok is acknowledged as one of the country’s bright new stars and was named New Act of the Year in 2010. In the same year she opened for comedian Paul Foot on his club tour of the country and was commissioned by the Swedish National Broadcasting Network to create Evelyn’s Videoblog, a 10 part web sketch-series based on her shy and introverted comedy character of the same name. The success of the web-series led her to be cast in the swedish version of television show fonejacker in 2011 and in 2012 she received the One to Watch Award at the Swedish Stand Up Gala.

Shortly thereafter she relocated to the UK, where she in 2013 was a finalist in the Chortle Student Comedy Awards, performed at the Latitude festival and was part of Just the Tonic’s Big Value Showcase at the Edinburgh Fringe.

2014 saw Evelyn returning to the Latitude Festival, as well as being one of Time Out Comedy’s new talent choices for their Time Out Introduces showcase at the Southbank festival. She also went back to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year as part of the Pleasance’s Comedy Reserve Showcase.

John Robertson is a comedian, making money out of that particularly odd art form since 2002. He’s also a TV presenter, columnist, multimedia artist, games designer, crowd-surfer and recreational sadist. He first came to public attention in 2003, when he went down to Australian Idol and faked a seizure on national television.
In 2012, he created “The Dark Room”, a viral YouTube hit-turned-live show, which now tours the world as a theatre show and corporate entertainment. In 2013, he left his beloved Wai-Con (Australia’s best anime convention) and moved to the UK. He crowd-surfed to celebrate. As of 2014, he co-hosts Sky’s “Videogame Nation”, the UK’s only dedicated gaming TV show.

Since age 17, John has exchanged stream-of-consciousness lunacy for real, solid cash. He left his day job in 2008 (fired) to do comedy full-time (much better), quickly establishing himself as an in-demand club headliner and event MC (money). From 2008 – 2010, he was the Australian tour support for Mark Watson, Wayne Brady and Rob Schneider, before making his debut at the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2010.

His show that year, “A Nifty History of Evil” won the Critic’s Choice Award at the Wild West Comedy Festival, established his UK cult following and brought him to the front page of the BBC News website.

His 2011 Fringe shows, “Dragon Punch!” and “Blood & Charm: Disturbing Stories for Disturbing Bedtimes” solidified that cult and added to his awards, with “Dragon Punch!” taking out Best Show at the Wild West Comedy Festival that year. 2012’s “The Dark Room” was an Edinburgh smash, leading to commissions for web content from Hat Trick Productions and PIAS International. In 2013, “The Dark Room” transferred to Underbelly for its Fringe appearances, leading to seaons in London’s 400-seat Udderbelly theatre in 2014 and 2015. It took home an Argus Angel at Brighton Fringe 2014 and Director’s Choice at Bedford Fringe.

To give you the flavour of his act, well, John crowd-surfed at Sonisphere 2014 after doing a set involving a ukulele. If you can crowd-surf at Europe’s largest heavy metal festival after playing folk music on ukulele, well, I don’t want to say, “New Messiah”, but it does makes Christ’s “walking on water” trick seem pretty tame.

MP for Buckland & Ruttington, devoted father and enthusiastic belcher, Sir Ian Bowler MP is the Tory Party’s worst nightmare. Disastrously over-confident in his journey from blunder to gaffe he is the quintessential British right-wing politician and all the funnier for it.

“His veins throb and his eyes bulge as he harrumphs his way through his personal manifesto against political correctness. He’s imperialistic, homophobic and sexist – and very, very funny. The comically exaggerated opinions crystalise into wonderful one-liners, including a gag about his ‘handicapped boy’ which you’ll definitely remember for a long time to come… A powerhouse performance, and funny with it.” Chortle
