Show details:

Josh Jones

Mancunian ray of sunshine, Josh Jones is the most exciting voices to emerge from the North-West in recent years.

After his hilarious debut TV appearances on E4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats and ITV’s Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club, Josh has gone on to host BBC Three’s Fast Food Face-Off, Channel 4’s VIPees... and has made guest appearances on Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, ITV2’s CelebAbility and The Stand-Up Sketch Show, E4’s Reality News and Married At First Sight: Unveiled, Sky Max’s Dating No Filter, Dave’s Late Night Mash and Alan Davies’ As Yet Untitled, BBC Two’s The Apprentice: You’re Fired, and Comedy Central’s Undeniable, Guessable, Rhod Gilbert’s Growing Pains and Comedy Central Live.

Josh recently made his debut appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, and hosts the historical-gossip podcast Dead Drama and co-hosts Chatting with Cherubs with Morgan Rees.

Josh is an Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee for his critically acclaimed sell-out show Waste of Space, he followed this up with a total sell-out run of Gobsmacked at the Fringe before embarking on his debut UK Tour. Josh was previously a finalist for the prestigious BBC New Comedy Award, which he subsequently went on to judge on BBC Three.

“Josh is purely about entertaining and making his audience laugh for an hour” - ★★★★ - One4Review

“His material is hilarious, as is the delivery, and his stage presence is so upbeat and bright that you can't help but hang on his every word” - ★★★★ - Entertainment Now

“Full of confidence, Josh has a presence on stage that's rare to find in a comedian so early on in their career and has the audience hanging on his every word, and crucially, laughing very loudly along with what he has to say” - I Talk Telly

 

Jenny Hart

British Comedian of the Year finalist & Winner of Best Alternative Act 2023 AND 2024 – Jenny Hart, is the self-proclaimed ‘Bad tranny’. Joyously wrong and infinitely dirty, lusciously dark and often quite flirty, Jenny always has the room in stitches for her winning combination of colourful stand-up, edgy songs and witty crowd work.

Jenny is the funniest transgender comedian with a guitar in the UK, period (or not). Jenny electrifies every bill and is sure to have stand-up die hards and first time comedy goers alike laughing out loud with her dark n’ delicious musical quips! Originally hailing from Woking Jenny has already gigged across Europe, Oz and the USA – She’s GLOBAL baby!

“She’s a bold, brash, shameless presence full of gloriously inappropriate jokes and twisted, dark songs gleefully mocking some awful things. It’s a ribald, vulgar set, full of crude knockabout humour delivered with blunt vitality. An absolute crowd-pleaser... she’s a powerhouse surely poised to storm the circuit” - Chortle

 

Danny Deegan

Danny Deegan is a comedian, writer and actor who began performing in 2003 and has since risen steadily through the ranks of some of the most prestigious comedy clubs in the UK. His tales of mischief and the characters he creates have kept audiences all over the country enthralled as he weaves in and out of the people he has met travelling. His talent and likability coupled with a confident swagger see him as one of the most popular acts in the North.

Fresh from a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, where he received rave reviews, Danny also recently performed a headline set at the Green Man festival in South Wales getting a great reception from the 400 people in the marquee and being asked to wrap up for Manchester band Doves after their headline set in front of 12,000 people.

Outside of live work Danny has made several TV and radio appearances. From being a guest on Radio GMR to having his own show "Afternoons with Danny Deegan" on CAT FM in Crewe. His TV credits include appearances on "Made in the North" and "The Adam and Shelley Show" to name but two.

“His seamless interactions with the crowd demonstrate that he’s a natural-born comedian... appealing to both the young and old, female and male” - Three Weeks

“Charming, witty and most importantly funny” - Metro

“Deegan has a mature confidence in his abilities” - Chortle
