Joe McTernan

Joe is an Edinburgh based comedian and has toured with Tom Stade and Steve Hughes (2021/22). His energetic and personal style has gained him bookings at many gigs across Scotland and the UK.

Joe has over two million views on TikTok and Instagram, performed on BBC Scotland's television show The Comedy Underground, supported Tom Stade and Rachel Fairburn on tour, co-created the online (Scottish Comedy Award-winning) sitcom MUFF alongside Daniel Sloss, and has also written and performed content for BBC Short Stuff.

“His punchlines hit home, providing a laid back perspective on what can be decisive topics… sure to delight with his amusing frustration” - EdFest Magazine

“...fast-fire expert jokiness” - Bath Echo

 

 

Peter Brush

A highly distinctive performer and deft writer of finely crafted jokes, Peter Brush unassumingly takes the stage with his slight bespectacled frame and scruffy hair, before consummately conquering it with an arsenal of razor sharp quirky one-liners and peerlessly original routines, all delivered in an amusingly awkward fashion.

Peter performs at all the major clubs across the UK, as well as having done many of it’s biggest festivals, he has also played shows in Switzerland, Norway and Hungary. Formerly a BBC New Comedy Award finalist, he has written for several BBC Radio 4 shows and was the support act for Alexei Sayle’s most recent tour. Other acts he has supported on tour include Jonathan Pie, Jason Manford, Fern Brady, Arthur Smith and Paul Sinha.

“compellingly hilarious... first-class gag writing... an original and achingly funny voice” - ★★★★½ - Chortle

“I love Peter Brush, what a comic” - Jason Manford

“unique observations and connections that stand-ups crave” - The Guardian

“He’s a great comic” - BBC Radio 4 Saturday Review

 

Jon Pearson

Jon began standup comedy in 2010, with his first performance at Birmingham’s Highlight Comedy Club. Cut to the present and Jon has become a regular face on the circuit, performing at prestigious clubs such as The Glee, The Boat Show & The Comedy Store, Jon’s career has even taken him overseas with performances in Spain, Norway and even as far away as Wigan (it is like being on another planet).

Jon is also a familiar face on at comedy festivals across the UK having taken three solo shows to the Leicester, Nottingham & Edinburgh festivals with the highlight of the all coming in the form of a sold out show at his home town Melton Theatre in Melton Mowbray.

Jon has also provided tour support for Darren Harriot on his UK 2018/2019 tour and Lucy Porter on her UK 2017 tour. Jon’s laid back storytelling has audiences hanging on his every word. With tales based around his own life experiences, his anecdotes are relatable and certain to have audiences in hysterics.
