IAN COGNITO
http://www.iancognito.org/
For the last three decades Ian Cognito has been an undecorated hero of the British comedy frontline. Never been on the telly, never done an advert… although he would for Guinness, if they let him write it himself.
Cogs remains a true original; If you haven’t seen him, you won’t have a clue who we’re talking about, and if you have then you certainly won’t have forgotten the name. Tales of power drills, genital exposure and traumatised promoters follow in his wake as does the hysterical laughter of those who have been lucky enough to see one of this country’s greatest comedians.
Whilst many of his peers have graduated to the cosy confines of light entertainment, Cogs proudly remains the alternative comedian with gags that would make Manning wince.
All comedians should make you laugh, the very best will make you laugh non-stop from start to finish, a few of these will leave you with higher things to ponder but only Cogs does all the above and makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck.
If Spiderman was bitten by a radioactive spider and became, like, a spider, then Ian Cognito must have been bitten by a radioactive cunt.
After 25 years in the business we call show, Ian Cognito knows one thing, you need two things to make it big, hype and bullshit. Ian Cognito has neither. He has become one of the most respected comedians in the world by simply consistently doing great performances. That he is so remarkably unfamous can be put down to one thing, Ian Cognito will not play the fame game.
“The trouble with a moustache is that you can taste what you been eating, I got fed up of mine tasting of T.V. producers arseholes.” Ian Cognito
One of the most influential comedians of modern times Ian Cognito has been responsible for the shape of the careers of many comedians. Some of which he is pleased about…
“They are proper, sharp jokes; and care little for concerns of political correctness.” Chortle
“It’s flecked with clever songs and an unrelenting wave of perhaps the funniest jokes you’re likely to hear at the Fringe. It’s close to the bone humour; it shocks, it disgusts and evokes a violent brand of laughter from the your darker side.” The Skinny
“Changed the face of this circuit single handedly. He was rallying against political correctness before it even had a name. I also love it when he pisses in my mouth.” Brendan Burns
“First time I saw Cognito I was blown away. I was blown away the second time too. Third time I thought I could do that.” Reginald D Hunter
ALASDAIR BECKETT-KING
http://www.abeckettking.com/
Alasdair won New Act of the Year (formerly Hackney Empire) in 2014 and has featured on BBC radio as a comedian and sketch writer. He’s performed stand-up across the UK, in the Glastonbury Cabaret Tent and at the Edinburgh Fringe as part of the Pleasance Reserve. He knows quite a lot about 19th century magicians. Tourists often ask to have their photo taken with him, presumably impressed by this.

“A suave stand up with some killer lines.” Arthur Smith

PHIL KAY
To be at one of Phil’s shows and expect stand-up would be a big mistake Éanything can happen and invariably does! Never is this more true than when performing on his home turf. Glasgow beware! Or, at the very least, bring hard hats.
Phil’s comedy is a unique blend of energy, improvisation and leaps of imagination that take his audience on a joyride they’ll never forget. Even Phil has no idea what might happen when he unleashes his crazy brand of improvised comedy mayhem. He possesses the rare gift of creating a space where audiences feel like they are kids again, all taking part in a practical joke.
Phil launched his stand-up comedy career with a bang in 1989, quickly garnering a host of awards, nominations and glowing reviews. Since then, the plaudits have never stopped as he conquered first the live stage and then television, with appearances on such shows as Phil Kay Feels, (Ch 4), Next Stop Phil Kay (Ch 4), Edinburgh Nights (BBC1), Montreal Festival of Fun (Ch 5) and plenty more besides.
Phil’s first love, however, remains live stage work and only by watching his live performances will audiences really see him at his very best. Phil Kay is stand-up comedy’s answer to spontaneous human combustion a rare, explosive and always surprising phenomenon that simply cannot be contained in a box or represented on a cathode tube.
Phil tours Britain constantly and is a firm favourite at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where he performs yearly to sell-out crowds and critical acclaim. Over the years he has completed several highly successful tours of Australia, performing at the Adelaide and Melbourne Festivals. Since then, he has travelled the length and breadth of the globe administering his special blend of comedy genius.
Phil has worked as a warm-up man on television shows including: Jonathan Ross’s Saturday Show, Channel 4’s Viva Cabaret, The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, Sean’s Show and Harry Hill’s Pilot Show.
“Willing to treat each gig as a one-off event.” The Guardian

Si Deaves is a stand up comic hailing from the depths of Southend-on-Sea. Having realised just how odd his life and thought patterns so regularly are, Si decided to turn to comedy in early 2014 and use it to question everything from people’s misunderstanding of primary school level grammar, to why Goldilocks was so cruel, all the while bemused and amused by his own fears and neuroses. His dry and acerbic wit, love for improvising and playing around on stage, and general easy going manner make him instantly likeable.

MATT KIRSHEN
http://www.mattkirshen.com/
London born Matt Kirshen’s precision wit has earned him an impressive reputation on the international comedy circuit. Most recently his appearances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Paul Provenza’s Green Room, and as a finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing has earned him a whole new host of fans in the United States and a surprising number of other countries worldwide.
He has also recorded a half-hour special for the World Stands Up, Comedy Central, and has acclaimed festival appearances at Montreal, Edinburgh, Kilkenny, Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds, Bermuda, and Amsterdam.
His debut CD, “I Guess We’ll Never Know” was named in Punchline Magazine’s top 10 albums of 2009 and his hit appearance at the 2008 Just For Laughs festival in Montreal resulted in no fewer than 4 of his gags appearing in the Montreal Gazette’s round up of their best jokes of the fest.
Matt has appeared in and written for numerous television shows and Radio series, including the critically acclaimed series Bigipedia which ran for 2 seasons on the BBC.
His youthful looks disguise a veteran comic with almost a decade of experience, and a wealth of smart, funny and relatable material, making him a firm favorite with college audiences. While it’s his prime-time NBC appearances that most American comedy fans will recognize him from, they are often surprised at the breadth and scope of his material, described by one reviewer as “intelligent, but with the emphasis firmly on the funny.”

BBC NEW ACT OF THE YEAR WINNER 2015
A relative newbie to the London comedy circuit, Kotani uses her low-key outsider perspective and skewed logic to dissect London living, from strange posters on the Overground to the untranslatable Britishism of adding ‘-ish’ to words (we put the ‘ish’ into ‘British’, you could say). Her wonderfully offbeat stories have earned her places in the final of a bunch of new-act comps, culminating in victory in the BBC New Act of Year final last year, with her rug-pulling punchlines and bizarre observations impressing the voting public at home.

He performs across the UK and has performed in Germany and Bangladesh. In 2016, he supported Dane Baptiste on his UK tour and did warm up work for “Micky Flanagan and Friends”.
His professional career has taken him from private banking through to corporate communications via a career in local government public policy. He has previously written for The Guardian, The Times online, The Observer New Review and The Huffington Post UK. He is a member of the UK Speechwriters Guild and Fellow of the RSA.
Born and raised in East London, he is a Manchester United fan (obviously) and has torn cricketing allegiances – he fails the Tebbit test every time. He has previously dabbled in Bollywood and salsa dance choreography.

These are prestigious accolades so, you know, be impressed. His set contains material about failure, geese and Sonic the Hedgehog. In that order. And other stuff as well.
“A brilliant, loudly awkward set…. His material is somehow simultaneously incredibly sharply written and bluntly delivered; his routines are very funny, completely inventive, sitting perilously on the fence between allowing an audience to think they know what’s coming, and pulling something unexpectedly bizarre out of the bag.” Gigglebeats

JENNY BEDE
http://www.jennybede.com/
Jenny Bede is a actor & comedy writer/performer from Pinner, the town from which Elton John also hails . Much like Sir Elton, she wears a wig, is married to a man named David Furnish & had a hit with the song ‘Rocketman’ in 1972.
Born in the 80’s, Jenny always took an interest in performing and decided to apply to the prestigious Royal Academy of Music (where EJ also attended). She was accepted onto the Musical Theatre course under the direction of Mary Hammond, where she later graduated with Distinction. After a stint in the record-breaking ‘NewsRevue’ Jenny started writing comedy, initially creating a series of musical parody videos that have since gained over 2million views on YouTube.
Since then she has worked in film, television and radio. Career highlights include, Dawson Bros’ Funtime (BBC3), writing and creating the Bafta-winning Made in Chelsea fan show ‘Mad on Chelsea’ (ch4), being cast by Edgar Wright as ‘Fitness Instructor (26)’ in The World’s End and duetting with noughties boy band legends Blue on the classic, ‘Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word’. Perhaps topping all of that was a Bodyform commercial directed by The Fully Monty’s Peter Cattaneo. No, she didn’t get to roller-skate with a dog and yes - she was cut from the final edit.
In 2013 Jenny started writing and performing the live comedy, winning the Best Newcomer Award in the 2013 Musical Comedy Awards after just 3 gigs. This led to an hour on the free fringe with the brilliantly talented Jessie Cave, performances for BBCR1 and BBCR4 and playing at Glastonbury.
In 2014 Jenny was commissioned to make her own pilot by BBC Comedy and was named The Observer & Guardian’s Rising Star of Comedy for 2015.

http://lynnruthmiller.net/
Lynn Ruth Miller is currently the oldest performing stand up female comedian on both sides of the Atlantic. Dubbed the new Joan Rivers of Fringe Comedy at The Edinburgh International Fringe.
She is a regular at the San Francisco Punchline, The Stand in Scotland and The International in Dublin and is now chomping at the bit ready now to do her storytelling, cabaret and standup comedy throughout the world to prove that her aging has been amazing.
At 81, Lynn Ruth Miller is still going strong.
She started her comedy career at 71. She made it to Las Vegas in America’s Got Talent, 2008, won People’s Choice in 2009 Branson Comedy Festival, the finals in Bill Word’s Funniest Female Contest 2009 and semi-finals in the SF International Comedy Competition, the top 100 in Britain’s Got Talent and won both nights of the Texas Burlesque Festival without taking off anything that matters.
She was the 2013 TO&ST winner for GRANNY’S GONE WILD: best cabaret Edinburgh Fringe. That show was performed at the Soho Theatre in London in March 2014. In August, she performed her fourth solo show NOT DEAD YET a compilation of stories and songs about her life, directed by Sarah Louise Young with songs written by Young and Michael Roulston to 4 and 5 star reviews.
“This woman is sharp, and in among the fun and schtick there are some killer lines. Ms. Miller is a poster girl for growing old disgracefully and she looks to be enjoying every second.” The Scotsman

HARRY STACHINI
@HStachini

Harry is beginning to establish himself as a strong new act on the comedy circuit with his easy-going style along with his likeable character just adds to the brilliance of the stories and the unexpected one-liners that has crowds in stitches.
ELLIS & ROSE
http://ellisandrose.com/
Ellis & Rose (Gareth Ellis and Rich Rose) have gained a reputation as one of the most anarchic and spontaneous acts around; no two E&R gigs will be the same!
Ellis & Rose are winners of a Malcolm Hardee Comedy Award, London Cabaret Award Nominees (for Best Alternative Act) and were included in The Scotsman’s 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Round-Up and Time Out’s Edinburgh Fringe A-Z 2014.
Their act falls somewhere between sketch comedy, clowning and cabaret gone wrong – making them a refreshing antidote to people talking about themselves and holding a microphone steadily in front of their face with little or no flailing about or gurning.
Neo-Vaudevillian lunacy at its sexiest(?)
“The best double-act I’ve seen in years.” Harry Hill
“Just some intellectual twats trying to be funny.” Jim Davidson
“High-energy, innovative stuff from two engaging, entertaining guys.” The Scotsman
