Friday 11th May. Steve Royle, Mark Cram, Jason Neale, Ali Warwood.
MC Ben Van der Velde.
For over 12 years STEVE ROYLE could be found in the guise of "Mad Edgar" the court jester at Camelot theme park where he presented over 2000 "Crazy Juggling Shows". He has also supported both Peter Kay and Dave Spikey on tour and was voted "Entertainer of the Year" at the recent Red Rose Awards.
His many TV appearances have included "Phoenix Nights", "Max & Paddy", "Behind The Scene", "That's Entertainment", "Stand-up Britain", "Give Your Mate A Break", "The Afternoon Show", "Talk Of The North", "The Things You Do For Love", and despite being one of the North West's healthiest males, a medical insurance commercial for "Medicash". "A brilliant comedian" Peter Kay.
MARK CRAM is quite the all-rounder; with both a killer set and strong MCing chops. For the last few years Mark has been plying his comedy trade across the UK. Constantly evolving, usually unpredictable; he is garnering positive reactions everywhere he goes.
During this time Mark has shared the bill with the likes of Gary Delaney, Shazia Mirza, Nick Helm & Isy Suttie. In 2010 he was one quarter of the Edinburgh Fringe Show 'No Free Lunch' and returned in 2011 with the show 'Journey to the Centre of Somewhere.' 2014 sees him working on his first solo hour 'Cramnesia' for a short run in Edinburgh and at various small fringe festivals.
A gay comedian who bucks the trend by being about as camp as a Die Hard boxset, Mark thrills crowds with his tales of dead-end jobs, his family, being the less than grateful winner of Bedford Comedian of the Year (although we're quite proud of his win) as well as his sexuality. 'Great Act' Cheeky Monkey Comedy
Since his 1st Gig in December 2013, JASON NEALE has gone from strength-to-strength as a performer, gigging throughout the UK and adding improv/MCing/Sketch-Writing/Character strings to his bow; all with the aim of sharpening his style of anecdotal, unapologetic, out-for-belly-laughs stand-up. Within 3 years he’s written 3 new festival shows which he’s performed in Edinburgh (Fringe), Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Melbourne (UK!) and Croyden. “Well-written sharp gags & stories - Exchange Comedy.
ALI WARWOOD is a West Midlands born, Cambridge based, stand up comedian and she couldn't correctly punctuate this sentence if her life depended on it. Since 2013 she's been gigging all over the UK and some of the clubs/promoters that book her include: Glee Club, Comedy Cow, Funhouse, Mirth Control, Backyard Bar, Paul Dunn, MY comedy, Custard Comedy, CAN comedy, Wivenhoe Funny Farm, Wine Gums Comedy, Big Cheese, Comedy Market. “Ever-Hilarious” Cambridge Edition
BEN VAN DER VELDE is a stand-up comedian, actor, improviser and presenter, who, over the past few years, has spread joy and nonsense to all four corners of the British Isles, as well as Estonia, Latvia, Finland and Norway.“A sharp and crafty gagsmith.” Steve Bennett, Chortle.

Friday 8th June. Sean Heydon, Chris Washington, Aaron Twitchen. MC James Cook
Arguably the most televised illusionist in the UK, Sean Heydon is fast becoming one of the world’s most exciting and cutting edge performers to watch. With experience spanning over two decades and already a multi-award winning entertainer, Heydon is widely recognised as ‘The Alternative Magician’. His unique creative take on traditional magic coupled with a natural ability to perform comedy is what sets him aside from his peers. Entertaining through comedy dusted with a little magic is Heydon’s forte. "An entertainment sensation." Her Majesty's Court Service
Rising star Chris Washington is taking the comedy industry and audiences alike by storm. With bags of northern charm, Chris is fresh from a hugely successful debut run at the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, during which he received a sparkling nomination for the coveted lastminute.com Edinburgh comedy award for Best Newcomer with his solo stand-up hour, ‘Dream Big (Within Reason)’.
Re:Play Breakthrough Comedian of the Year Winner and a finalist in the Magners New Comedy Act in 2015, Chris has proved he’s a definite one to watch, being likened to a “Peter Kay for the smart phone generation”. A favourite on the live circuit he’s already supported the likes of Jason Manford and Tom Stade on tour and recently co-hosted Jason Manford’s weekend radio show for Absolute Radio. "Gaining big laughs from the really small stuff" The List.
Aaron Twitchen is a stand up, actor, presenter and living stereotype. Birmingham based gay act Twitchen has quickly gained a reputation as a reliable, likeable act with audiences and promoters alike. "Hilarious, warm, energetic" - The Skinny.
MC - James Cook. James 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.
