Anuvab Pal

Anuvab’s stand-up comedy special The Nation Wants To Know, has played over 500 sold out shows from Mumbai to Sydney to San Francisco. Anuvab is the only Indian stand-up comedian after Russel Peters to sell out The Gotham Comedy Club in New York in record time. He’s also the only Indian comedian invited to perform at Harvard University.

Robin Ince

Robin Ince is many things. A comedian, an author, a broadcaster and a populariser of scientific ideas. The Guardian once declared him a ‘becardiganed polymath’ which seems about right. He is probably best known as the co-host of the Sony Gold Award winning BBC Radio 4 series The Infinite Monkey Cage with Professor Brian Cox. He also co-hosts the podcast Book Shambles with Josie Long, An Uncanny Hour and Science Shambles with Dr Helen Czerski, all three of which are a part of The Cosmic Shambles Network, which he also co-created. As a stand up he has toured the world and won three Chortle Awards, the Time Out Outstanding Achievement Award and was nominated for the British Comedy Awards Best Live show.

Thanyia Moore

Thanyia Moore is an award-winning comedian, a skilled actor, an experienced writer and dynamic presenter best known for her fiercely commanding stage persona and razor sharp wit. Winner of the national Funny Women Awards 2018, Thanyia has gone on to build an impressive list of TV credits including, but not limited to, Mock the Week (BBC), Mo Gilligan’s Black, British and Funny (Channel 4), Drunk History: Black Stories (Comedy Central), Richard Osman's House of Games (BBC), Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled (DAVE), Big Narstie Show (Channel 4) and Don't Hate The Players (ITV2) with more to come.

Jeff Innocent

Multi award winning comedian Jeff Innocent has reached legendary status among his peers and audiences alike by staying at the top of his game for over 20 years. His unique appeal lies in the contrast between his east end 'geezer’ appearance and demeanour, and his educated, philosophical delivery and culturally relevant subject matter. TV credits include; Call the Midwife (BBC), Little Howard’s Big Question (BBC), Later with Jools Holland (BBC), The Comedy Store Presents (COMEDY CENTRAL), The Stand Up Show (BBC), Take the Mic (CH 4), The World Stands Up (PARAMOUNT), The Stand Up Show Ireland (RTE), 50 TV Tuff Guys (SKY), Edinburgh Nights (BBC), The Comedy Store Live Movie (PARAMOUNT)

Stefano Paolini 

Stefano has been performing stand up comedy for over twenty years and appeared on programmes including Channel 4's Double Take and BBC Radio 4's Dead Ringers. His combination of impressions, characters and beatboxing has seen him perform nationally in major comedy clubs like the Comedy Store, Glee Club and Comedy Carnival and internationally in places such as Myanmar, Hong Kong and Dubai. His debut book was published in 2015, Missing Presumed Drowned: A true story of the internment of Italians resident in Britain during the Second World War. In 2022 he was a semi-finalist on Britain's Got Talent.

Michael Legge (MC)

Michael is a stand up, writer, actor, compere, improviser, warm-up and Chortle and Sony award winner. Michael's Edinburgh show, The Idiot, is available on Next-up comedy.
