MATTHEW OSBORNE:
Matthew is a hugely talented stand-up who started on the circuit in 2002 and went on to win So You Think You're Funny? beating Greg Davies and Mark Watson. In 2003 was named Chortle Best Newcomer. Since then he has performed on the UK circuit and abroad.

Matthew has picked up where he left off appearing at some of the UK's leading clubs, including Jongleurs, Banana Cabaret, Headliners, The Comedy Café, The Frog And Bucket, Up The Creek and Downstairs At The Kings Head. Most recently Matthew was named the English Comedian of the Year.

He's a joy! He is classic! He is a must! Russell Hunter.

ANDREW WATTS - Andrew Watts has a distinctive style and very original material. His posh boy humour is intelligent without distancing himself from the audience. Lawyer turned comedian, Andrew is extremely likeable and invariably wins a crowd over as he canters, like an apologetic tsunami, through challenging subjects.

Previously a solicitor in London, he is now a full-time comedian and has written and performed four full-length Edinburgh shows, I Wish I Could Be Like Andrew Watts, Born To Be Mild, Feminism for Chaps and. most recently, How To Build A Chap. All of them received five- or four-star reviews. Winner - Reading Comedy Festival New Act of The Year.

Runner-Up to TV's Jack Whitehall - Amused Moose Laugh-Off.
Finalist - So You Think You're Funny, Laughing Horse New Act of the Year + English Comedian of the Year Competition.
"His distinctive style stands out - a winning mixture of pomposity, insecurity and emotional incompetence, while the fury-inducing importance he places on the trivial makes for a winning comic stance." - Chortle.co.uk
