Nick Page

“a huge dose of likeability with some very clever material” Bath Chronicle.

Nick Page was a Britain’s Got Talent 2018 Semi-Finalist’ and won ‘The English Comedian of the Year’ in 2017.

With storytelling comics there’s a moment where the audience asks themselves ‘I wonder if that’s true?’ With Nick there is more doubt, because the stories are so outlandish, and yet at the same time there’s the sure knowledge that every story is true, and that his is a life lived laughing from disaster to disaster.

He has an enviable gag rate, with each story and routine filled with set ups, call backs and devastating punchlines. His stories are unique, yet relate to everyone. Everyone has felt frustrated by the legal system; nobody else has tried to go to prison to prove a point. Everyone watches daytime TV; nobody else has been sacked from it for an incident involving a Russian call girl and an antique rocking horse.

Sally-Anne Hayward

“Hayward is a bubbly stream of comedy anecdotes…a delightfully chatty act…an immensely likeable stage manner.” Chortle

Sally-Anne Hayward has been described as a charming and popular performer with a winning brand of autobiographical humour. She always manages to endear herself to any audience by taking them on a journey through her slightly eccentric world, including insights into the female psyche and her compulsion to send off spoof job applications.

Sally has developed a unique brand of sweet young lady cum sharp-witted fox, wrapped in layers of eminently likeable stage persona.

Currently performing at major venues up and down the country and regular compere at Jesters Comedy Club in Bristol, Sally is in high demand across the UK. As well as working as a comedian, Sally is an accomplished radio presenter and stage and television actress.

Tim Clark

‘An unsung hero of stand-up comedy – the current master of this underrated art’ Guardian

Comedian, writer and actor Tim Clark is one of the brightest lights on the national comedy scene and a familiar face on television. His regular appearances at live venues throughout the country and especially at The Comedy Store and Jongleurs keep his wit sharp and his material fresh. His striking looks, quick wit and affable nature has made sure that Tim makes an instant impact on his many TV and radio appearances.

As a comedy performer Tim excels as a stand-up comedian, compere and conference host and continues to work all around the world. Tim was the first western comedian to work in Beijing, China and can still be found working in a variety of diverse situations, from military shows to corporate events.

Matt Price

“Storytelling comedy necessitates a level of honesty I like. And Price is one of the best at it around.” – Scotland on Sunday

Matt Price prides himself in being able to play any room and adapt to a wide variety of audiences. He likes to interact and tell joke driven stories. He’s been travelling all over the world entertaining people at comedy clubs and festivals for over a decade. He was in the Laughing Horse New Act of the year final in 2004, so it’s well over ten years since he started comedy.

Amongst his fellow comedians, Matt is known for having some of the most bizarre, yet accessible stories from the wilder and more unusual side of life. His upbeat and friendly delivery mixed with his subject matter and audience skills means that you’ll hang on every word. Sometimes he just abandons the material and banters with the audience. It all depends on what is happening in the room.

Thomas Green

“A fine balance of silliness, self-deprecation and sarcasm… Green feels like the kind of comedian you can take a date to.” – heckler.com

Thomas Green is an Australian comic based in the UK. An engaging story-teller, and known for his face of elasticity and highly energetic stage presence, Green has been selling out festival shows since 2012. Green’s quick-witted exchanges and improvisation with audience members are truly impressive, clever and natural.

Tim Hoskins

‘Hilarious naivety.’ Arthur Smith (BBC, The Guardian).

Tim’s been performing since early 2015 and received interest from agents and regular repeat bookings from professional promoters, including Glee Club. Tim performs as character act Marti, mocking British local customs, language and habits. Naïve observational content with some wordplay and storytelling aim to give this act broad and entertaining appeal.

‘Really good show with a full house. Revelation of the night was Marti. This act completely blew the audience away. Indeed, at one stage I was laughing so much at his jokes, I was struggling to breathe. Marti is a German stand-up with a nervous facial twitch, who tells us funny stories from his day-to-day life…this could be a massive act.’ Martin Mullaney (Cheeky Monkey Comedy Club, ComedyCV.co.uk)

‘Great big belly laughs from audience and comics alike, Tim’s set was peppered with moments of ridiculous strokes of genius! We will definitely have him back and thoroughly recommend him.’ Fitz of Giggles at Komedia.
