Show details:

Matt Richardson

Matt started doing stand-up in November 2009 when he was 18 years old and started gigging regularly in February 2010. Within 18 months he quit university and his job in a lettings office to become a professional comedian at 20. He completed his 54 date debut UK Tour ‘Hometown Hero’ in 2013/14.

In 2016 Matt became the drivetime host on Virgin Radio, made a documentary ‘Pampered Pooches (ITV2), appeared on Drunk History (Comedy Central UK), and made a show about Family Guy for ITV2. He has previously co-hosted The Xtra Factor on ITV2 with Caroline Flack and appeared on Sweat the Small Stuff (BBC3), Celebrity Juice, Nevermind The Buzzcocks (BBC2), Viral Tap (ITV2) and a load of other bits and bobs.

“High wattage charisma from a talented young comic who's star is on the rise” - The Guardian

“Hilarious and charming” - The Mirror

“Sharp, funny and warm” - Heat Magazine

 

Replacing Funmbi Omotayo:

Maff Brown

Maff Brown has been recommended as one of the top ten acts to see at the Edinburgh festival by GQ magazine. Twice.

He plays at all the top clubs in the UK as a headliner, including at London's world famous Comedy Store. He is also in demand as a writer on top UK shows such as Mock the Week and 8 Out Of Ten Cats. He also made loads of 'Top Jokes at the Fringe' lists at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival.

You would have seen him on Comedy Central (UK) and in Jack Dee’s Lead Balloon, or supporting some of the comedy heavyweights on tour such as Jack Dee and Greg Davies.

Maff has also been a co presenter on Absolute Radio's Rock and Roll Football with Ian Wright and you would have also heard him on 5Live, Talk Sport and BBC Radio 6.

“Want an all out laugh-fest with gags-a-plenty? Maff is your man. A few months back I saw him tear the roof off, generating more joy, more laughter than any arena-selling comedian” - GQ

“Howl out loud funny and refreshingly honest” - Metro

“Maff is one of those comics that doesn’t need to try. Jokes fall out of him like gold coins coming out of a pirate’s chest” - Frank Skinner

 

Alex Boardman

A lifelong comedy fan, Alex Boardman stormed onto the scene and quickly became one of the most popular choices on the circuit during the late 90’s. A full time comic since 1998, his skills as a writer have also been in constant demand for Britain’s most cutting edge prime time TV and Radio comedy shows. If you’ve found yourself falling off your chair in a fit of giggles watching TV’s latest successful comedy offering, the chances are, Alex is responsible.

Alex is now one of the most sought after acts in the country due to his ability to interact with any audience and to seemingly conjure something out of nothing. His free flowing style and natural charm breeze through in performances. His unique brand of “flattery and abuse” is done with a lack of malice and a big sense of fun.

Alex was one of a small band of writers who worked on the second series of John Bishop’s Britain on BBC 1 and he made a significant contribution to it being the highest rated stand up show of 2011 bringing in six million viewers a week. He has also written for performers as diverse as James Corden, Lily Savage and Liza Tarbuck, whilst he had a three year special hosting the Galaxy FM breakfast show in the late 2000s.

“His tall tales can lead anywhere on any given night” - The Times

“A rare mixture of wit and charm” - The Guardian

“Probably the quickest I’ve ever seen, certainly the funniest” - The Big Issue
