Sully O'Sullivan
Kiwi comedian Sully O'Sullivan summarises everything any woman has ever needed to know in under 60 seconds. He's been declared a highlight of the New Zealand International Comedy Festival by The New Zealand Herald, a highlight of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival by The Scotsman, won Canada's Masters of the Universe Improv Competition, and featured on Australian TV's The Comedy Channel.

"a wicked sense of humour" BBC UK

El Purnell
Ecuador's top comedian El Purnell is a highly interactive and energetic act, unique on the comedy circuit. Delivering his act in his native Spanish he captivates the audience with confidence, bravado, and high-levels of interaction and participation to create hysteria! He brings something very different to any comedy bill. The energy build-up is significant, with the audience on a major high with his musical close.

"El Purnell is the best and most original character act I have seen in years"  Urban Comedy

Jay Hampson
28 year-old Jay's youthful looks betray a clever and sometimes rude mind.  Based in Manchester, Jay possesses excellent timing, a laid back delivery and intelligent material, drawing on topics as varied as his personal battle with social class, to the sexual inadequacy of endangered species. Fluent use of language coupled with cutting guttural quips, Jay puts a well thought out spin on a variety of different topics.

Phil Chapman
Phil Chapman draws on a huge range of cleverly written strong material to wow his audience, but has similarly penned a large number of quick gags in case needs must. His material often includes topical subjects, ensuring the audience never see the same set twice. He has earned himself a name from being able to deal with the harshest of rooms, tear down barriers with punters and win the respect of the most stubborn of audience-members.
