BETHANY BLACK

Decidedly dark and deliciously different, an evening with Bethany Black is a one way ticket to a world you never knew existed. Managing to balance being “dark-tinged but magical” (The Guardian) with being warm and chatty, she has built a cult following for her brand of confessional comedy. She has worked alongside some of the greats of the industry and written jokes for acts as diverse as Brendon Burns and Jimmy Cricket.

Having started performing in 2005 she was initially branded ‘unremarkable’ by a clueless imbecile reviewing her first gig. A few short years later she’s now being told “Bethany Black should prepare for world domination” (Bruce Dessau, British Comedy Awards) and of her style; “the anecdotes are pitched perfectly…very funny.” (Chortle). She also has a burgeoning acting career having appeared in Russell T Davies drama 'Cucumber' and 'Dr Who'.

LAUREN PATTISON

EDINBURGH COMEDY AWARD NOMINEE: BEST NEWCOMER

One of the brightest young talents on the comedy circuit, this baby-faced comic has proved herself a force to be reckoned with.

Lauren made her mark on the comedy scene in 2017 like a crash-landing Geordie meteorite with her smash-hit, sell-out, critically acclaimed debut show Lady Muck, which was lauded as one of the strongest debut the festival has seen in years. It received a Herald Angel Award and was nominated for Amused Moose Best Show and an Edinburgh Best Newcomer Comedy Award. The success of the show has seen it go on to a six night sell out run at London's famous Soho Theatre, as well as runs at the Perth and Adelaide Fringe in Australia, and the Auckland Comedy Festival in New Zealand.

Since then her mixture of bawdy confessions, daft stories and enormous charm have made her a favourite on the club and festival circuit alike, as well as being tour support for Katherine Ryan, Dane Baptiste and Kerry Godliman.

 “You. Are. So. Funny.” Katherine Ryan

“Razor wit and brutal honesty ... outstanding.” The List

“Deliciously bawdy.” The Telegraph

AND YOUR RESIDENT HOST:

BEN VAN DER VELDE

One of the quickest wits around and a much-loved compere, he always brings a jam-packed back of nonsense, silliness and wisecracks to every gig he hosts.

"Sharp and crafty gagsmith, a life-giving compere." Chortle

"Wonderfully improvised riffs showcasing his impressive spontaneity and sharp tongue." Edinburgh Festivals Magazine

“The perfect comedy club host – he is a master of audience interaction. The audience weren’t just warmed up, but pretty hysterical even before the first act of the night hit the stage.”  Huffington Post
