Nina Gilligan is sometimes outrageous, always hilarious with a charming, loveable persona which belies an acerbic wit. Equally at home in clubs as art centre’s, Nina is performing at gigs of all sizes up and down the country.

2021 saw her crowned as the winner of the prestigious Leicester Mercury Award after also winning Liverpool Hot Water Comedian of the Year and being a finalist in English Comedian of The Year in previous year’s.

Recent work includes a sell-out show ‘Late Developer’ at Leicester Comedy Festival which transferred to The Edinburgh Fringe in 2022, whilst recent tour support includes Jason Manford, Clinton Baptiste and Rachel Fairburn.

“A bolshier Mrs Merton she’s not one to suffer fools lightly so watch out for a razor-sharp wit used at will” - The Skinny

“A hidden gem of the circuit” - Kiri Pritchard-McLean

“Naturally funny” - John Thomson (Cold Feet)

 

Josh Elton

Swansea-born Josh Elton has over eight years and well over a thousand gigs under his belt on the Welsh comedy circuit. Now based in Cardiff, this Jewish, bilingual comic provides high-energy, raucous humour, proving a hit with any crowd.

Since earning the title of the Welsh Unsigned Stand-Up of the Year award in 2017, he has performed right across the UK including the Edinburgh Fringe, Radnor, Neath and Leicester Comedy festivals as well as at top comedy clubs including Stone Circle and The Glee Club.

“Really, really funny” - David Baddiel

“Josh is a vibrant, fun comic with loads of strong gags, engaging stories, and an exciting presence. Rocks every show” - Ignacio Lopez

“Multi-talented and hilarious... an immensely funny performance dripping with confidence and self deprecation in equal measure” - The Glee Club

 

Al Stevenson

Al Stevenson is the quick-witted, sharp-tongued lad of Newcastle!

His charm allows him to tear through audiences with rapid fire, all whilst getting away with it through a cheeky grin.

Although he is newer on the circuit, his talents have already seen him rise to the finals of Beat The Frog World Series, beating hundreds of acts to do so, and to host and headline prestigious venues such as The Stand Comedy Club in Newcastle.

His humour has caught the eye of his fellow comics, leading to him performing tour support spots for Mark Nelson, Lauren Pattison, Matt Reed, and even international comic Kevin James Thornton!

“Al Stevenson combines the blunt double-entendres of Julian Clary with the bored, world-weariness of Jo Brand” - Chortle

“Blisteringly confident and deliriously lurid crowd work” - NARC

“Destined to be a stand up comic” - Lost Voice Guy

 

This show will also feature a newer act in the middle.
