The line-up for this comedy night is as follows:

MC - David Whitney

"I call Whitney ‘The Wit’. You can’t stop him; you can only hope to contain him" - Reginald D. Hunter

"Flashes of inspiration…thundering through for the next gag, he is very professional" - The Herald

"Gruff, Topical and reliably entertaining David Whitney” - The Independent

"David Whitney doesn’t do bog-standard knob jokes. His are so good, you’d tell them to your own mother" - Broadway Baby

Opener - Andrea Hubert

“Hubert delivers a refreshingly sardonic debut show, providing a whole lot of laughs against the back-drop of an important journey towards managing mental health issues” - What's On London

"Hubert takes the audience with her not only into the crevices of mental illness but soon has them finding humour in all manner of improprieties" - EdFest

"There’s something very therapeutic about the set: her brutal and exposed honesty is refreshing, for both the audience, and, it appears, for herself. Deeply cynical, sarcastic and wonderfully honest, Hubert’s hilarious account of her experience with depression is perfectly pitched and more than overdue" - Broadway Baby

Middle Act - Dave Green

“Fantastically original gags” - Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke

"A keen eye for the absurd" - Wee Review

“Could be a contender to follow in the footsteps of Milton Jones” - Steve Bennett, Chortle

"Highly watchable deadpan style" - What’s on London

Middle Act - Ali Woods

"Ali Woods is a great performer and even greater ranter. His view of the world leaves the audience in stitches, as he explains how his life has lead from mishap to mishap. A truly talented story teller" - Backyard Comedy Club

Headliner - Russell Hicks

"A sharp wit. The pessimism of Jack Dee mixed with the deadpan aggression of Denis Leary. A rip-roaring night of tough love from a witty comedian" - Broadway Baby

"One of the Top Six Comics to Watch" - Stand Up Talk Magazine

"Booked Russell Hicks for a large corporate event and wow! To say he brought the house down would be an understatement. Without doubt, the best comic we have ever had. I'll be booking him again soon for sure!" - Joe Wicks

"What can I say. Surely one of the best comedy performances I have ever seen. He performed 1 hour and 15 minutes on totally improvised material based on the audience. At one stage I nearly collapsed on the floor from laughing so much. Whenever, I hear the phases or names Cockney Gardener, Alfie, 1970s Porn Award, Smiley face man, I will think of Russell's performance" - Cheeky Monkey Comedy
