Aidan Jones

Aidan Jones is a touring comedian and headliner originally from Australia, with over a decade of experience as a working comic.

He has recently relocated to London and is taking over the circuit at an exceptional rate, with his show “Chopin’s Nocturne” combining Aidan's training as a classical pianist with his raw, unfiltered stand-up comedy.

Howard Anstock

After only starting his comedy career in 2017, it was not long before Howard won his first accolade as the Cheshire Cat Comedy New Act 2018, closely followed by being awarded the Kung-fu Pug Comedy New Act 2019.

Howard was then a Great Yorkshire Fringe New Act finalist 2019 and Beat the Frog World Series semi-finalist in 2019. With deeply personal material, that mixes anecdotes and experiences, Howard has been described as “an acidic Victoria Wood”.
