Headliners

Aug 15th - Hasan Al-Habib

Hasan, born to Iraqis that decided Baghdad wasn't dangerous enough and so moved to Birmingham, started stand-up at Uni and is already regarded as one of the circuit's most exciting new comedians.

"Deliciously funny" – The Guardian Newspaper

Sep 19th - Neil McFarlane

Relentlessly and unspeakably middle class, Neil has given up claiming in his act that he comes from Glasgow because he actually comes from Bearsden, which is a posh suburb of that city and therefore doesn't count. He has a reasonable day job, comes from a very secure and stable background with a good education and a high standard of living, and his parents are both still alive and happily married - all of which, from the perspective of artistic integrity and creative angst, are matters of intense irritation to him.

"A clear ability to craft a gag" - Chortle.

Oct 17th - Tony Cowards

Tony is a rapidfire gag merchant with an arsenal full of one-liners, for laughs-per-minute he's a tough act to beat! His quick wit has made him a sought after act and compere by comedy clubs and promoters across the UK and even for gigs worldwide.

"The best joke writer around" - James Mullinger, Comedy Editor, GQ Magazine

Nov 21st - Osman S

Osman S is a British-Pakistani comedian that has quickly become an act to look out for. Starting comedy when he was 17, Osman's unique brand of dry but quirky wit and relaxing presence makes him a crowd favourite.

"Actually funny" - Laura Smyth (Live at the Apollo)

Dec 19th - Friz Frizzle

Friz Frizzle is a Songruiner. He will take the lyrics of the tunes you know and love and mess around with them until you don't want to know or love them any more. It's better than it sounds. He has been on the scene since 2011, and has headlined Comedy Festivals, weekend clubs, appeared on BBC Radio 4 and won Hull Comedian of the Year 2017. He has performed sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe every year since 2015 and has also released three top-charting comedy albums.

"Extremely talented" - Adam Kay
"Master of Musical Comedy" - Comedy Central
