Peter Brush

A highly distinctive performer and deft writer of finely crafted jokes, Peter Brush unassumingly takes the stage before consummately conquering it with an arsenal of razor-sharp quirky one-liners and peerlessly original routines, all delivered in an amusingly awkward fashion.

Peter performs at all the major clubs across the UK, as well as having done many of its biggest festivals. Formerly a BBC New Comedy Award finalist, he has written for several BBC Radio 4 shows and was the support act for Alexei Sayle’s most recent tour.

Nick Everritt

Nick Everritt has brought his deadpan comedy stylings to venues across the UK and to the Edinburgh Fringe. Nick was shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Award in 2022 and finished second place at British Comedian of the Year 2023.

Nick Everritt has been a regular on the London open mic circuit for the past three years, where he has become well known for his deadpan, robotic delivery and his self-sabotagingly niche brand of meta anti-comedy.

‘A droll, witty and very self-conscious deconstruction of comedy’ – Chortle.

Andy Stedman - Comedy MC

With a mix of jokes, comedy songs and plenty of audience interaction, Andy is never afraid to indulge in some friendly back-and-forth with the crowd. With two full Edinburgh shows under his belt and over a thousand comedy gigs, Andy has made a quick transition from professional singer-songwriter to professional comedian.

“Stedman displays a real talent in playing to his audience, creating a friendly rapport which gives the show much of its charm. His songs are genuinely funny” – Broadway Baby

“Bang on trend” – Bruce Dessau, London Evening Standard
