NOV 8TH

RACHEL FAIRBURN

star of Live at the Apollo and co-host of All Killa No Filla, is a renowned stand up and (“rock’n’roll star of British Comedy” Rolling Stone). She’s bringing not only her (“Bright, brave and bitterly enjoyable” The Skinny) stand-up comedy out on the road but also some brand-new characters along for the ride.

AL STEVENSON

Quick-witted, sharp-tongued lad of Newcastle! His charm allows him to tear through his material with rapid fire and a cheeky grin. His talents have been described as “relentlessly hilarious” with a “magnetic aura” leading him to be regarded as one of the hottest talents in the UK comedy scene. He’s been spotted as one to watch in the industry and has been the tour support of choice for a multitude of longer established, award-winning comics – taking him all over the country and having audiences rolling in the aisles laughing. 

“Al Stevenson combines the blunt double-entendres of Julian Clary with the bored, world-weariness of Jo Brand.” Chortle“Has funny bones with a magnetic aura.” Crissy Rock“Blisteringly confident and deliriously lurid crowd work.” NARC Magazine

MATT BRAGG

The son of television warm up man Bobby Bragg, Matt has been performing stand up all over the country for the last 8 years. With a unique, low energy, deadpan style and meticulously crafted material he has been gaining critical acclaim from audiences, promoters and comedians alike.

As well as performing at some of the largest clubs in the UK, he is tour support for Ricky Gervais, Harry Hill, Lloyd Griffith (Soccer AM), Suzi Ruffell, Jason Manford, John Bishop, Phoenix Night’s Clinton Baptiste and Scott Bennett.

He was also selected for Just The Tonic’s Big Value showcase at Edinburgh Festival in 2019 and finished runner up in Leicester Mercury’s Comedian of The Year 2020.

MC ADAM BEARDSMORE

Hailing from the West Midlands, Adam performs up and down the UK in some of the country’s best clubs. He has recently supported Josh Pugh and Suzi Ruffel on their UK tours and was nominated for BBC New Act of the Year 2018 and 2019, performing on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio Warwickshire.
