Pete Phillipson
Originally from Lincolnshire but based in Manchester Pete has been building a name for himself on the circuit as a very funny act over the last few years.
Mixing fast paced observations and routines with wonderful characterisations Pete wears his comedy heart on his sleeve leaving the audience in hysterics at his misfortunes and frustrations with the minutiae of everyday life.
These are the two middle acts. The up and comers that you probably haven’t seen before. There be comedy gold in them there hills…
Robert Oldham
This comedian is straight out the box but has already been making a name for himself with his show ‘Buttnik’.
Prepare for funniness, witticisms and jokes that actually might make you think about stuff. Comedy that is a bit off the rails but delivers the laughs. See him now before he gets big.
Michael Hackett
Michael Hackett’s comedy is a playful mixture of insightful stories packed with hilarious truisms and observational humour. As a 6ft 8ins official giant with a bizarre background, he talks about everything from being an outcast in a French clown school, trying to provide Botox in beauty salons to arguing with his Latino girlfriend….
This guy is already big in comedy. Literally.
Yuriko Kotani
Yuriko Kotani is the Japanese comedian who was named as “One To Watch” by Time Out in 2015.
She went on to become first runner up in So You Think You’re Funny? and won BBC Radio New Comedy Award 2015.
Yuriko’s blend of tightly scripted off-beat punchlines and disarming persona has been delighting audiences in comedy clubs across the UK.

She has supported Joe Lycett, Rob Delaney and Puppetry of the Penis on their tour.
