Friday December 13th - Carey Marx, Paul Savage, Good Kids. MC Chris Brooker
Carey Marx is writer and star of BBC Radio 4’s Intensive Carey, twice winner of Best International Show at the New Zealand Comedy Festival, and Leicester Comedy Festival Best Show nominee.
A circuit veteran, Marx concocts his own blend of dark humour with mischief and glee. His wilful disregard for the controversial and taboo is tempered with his ability to find joy in the most unexpected places. An international multi-award winner, Carey is no stranger to screen or radio with credits ranging from Channel 4’s Gas to BBC One’s The Stand Up Show as well as his own radio show, Intensive Carey (BBC Radio 4) adapted from his wildly successful 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show of the same title in 2015.“Anecdotally debauched” Herald ★★★★★
Paul Savage started performing comedy in 2007. Since then he has performed all over Britain, from the highlands of Scotland to the bottom tip of Cornwall. In the 6 years he’s been going, he has performed over 1000 gigs, including three runs at the Edinburgh Festival with the the Free Tea and Biscuits Show, which set a record for having the most genuinely homeless people in one audience front row (7). “Genuinely brilliant. writes a good joke: an all round hoot” The Guardian.
Good Kids. Kieran Ahern and Tom Dowling, aka Good Kids, met in the playground at the age of 4. They have been taking the Midlands and wider UK comedy scene by storm for the last year and been nominated for a bunch of awards. Kieran is the curvaceous one and Tom is the other one. “Within seconds, they had the audience whooping and clapping along with their comedy tunes.” What's On Magazine.
A gifted performer, MC Chris Brooker has taken his unique mix of comedy and improvisation to stages all over the world. After a decade on the UK comedy circuit Chris has forged a fine reputation for himself as a stand-up comedian and compère. "Very funny, very quick… On the spot humour.” BBC.

Friday January 10th - Paul Tonkinson, Jon Pearson, Dave Green. MC James Cook
A sensational live performer, Yorkshire man, marathon runner and former (double award-winning) Time Out Comedian of the Year,
Paul Tonkinson has long upheld his esteemed reputation as one of the finest stand-ups the UK has to offer. With a unique and distinctive style, Tonkinson is noted for his effervescent physicality and skillful impressions, which bring alive exuberant, tender comic reflections on love, family and the day-to-day idiosyncrasies of 21st century living. A plethora of first class material, combined with tremendous charm and irrepressible, infectious energy make for quite a formidable talent.
He has joined the mighty Michael McIntyre as a special guest on live shows around the UK. and in 2013 he had the honour of joining Michael as a special guest on his global arena tour; playing to millions across the globe, as far and wide as Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong. Paul joined Michael again in 2015 as special guest on the Happy & Glorious Tour; playing to sold-out crowds in arenas across the UK.
On TV, he’s most recently performed on BBC One’s Michael Mcintyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Comedy Central’s The Comedy Store and The World Stands-up. He was recently a contestant on Ch. 4`s hit show Celebrity Come Dine With Me, proving he’s not just a dazzling stand-up talent, but a whizz in the kitchen, scooping first place to win the cash prize for charity. Back in the day, when he was a mere whippersnapper he had a stint presenting Ch. 4’s The Big Breakfast and he has also presented radio shows on XFM in London and Manchester. He has just completed a stint as a Programme Associate on BBC One’s Michael Mcintyre Chat Show.
Jon Pearson began standup comedy in 2010, with his first performance at Birmingham's Highlight Comedy Club. Two successful Edinburgh shows later,and 9 years working the UK comedy circuit, Jon is now regularly found at the biggest and best comedy clubs across the UK including The Glee Club, The Comedy Store and Jongleurs, both as an act and a compere. "Very tall and hugely funny" - Lucy Porter
Dave Green has been doing stand-up comedy since 2011. Since then his otherworldly persona and paranoid riffs on everyday life have fast proved popular with audiences in the UK and beyond. In 2018 he did his debut stand-up show ‘Melt’ at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. “The show established him as a keen writer who approaches the everyday from a different angle” (Chortle).
He has won numerous awards like the Comedy Knights Fresh Comedian and was a finalist in the Leicester Square New Comedian of the year as well as being nominated by a panel of industry professionals to take part in the Leicester Mercury Award. He has also appeared on BBC Radio 2 as part of the BBC New Comedy Award. "Fantastically original gags” - Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke.
MC James Cook is a professional comedian based in Birmingham, UK, with over 1,000 gigs worth of experience. His act has been described as “truly original” (Danny Wallace (off of the telly)) whereas he’s been called “suave and chirpy” by that publishing powerhouse, the Bromsgrove Advertiser.
