IAN STONE
Ranked amongst the top ten stand-ups in Britain by The Independent, Ian Stone is one of the most talented topical acts and comperes in the country. Edgy and provocative, with an easy-going manner and self-depreciating style, Ian is at great ease bantering with an audience. He is a regular on BBC Radio 5 Live's 'Fighting Talk' as well as being a presenter and huge Gooner advocate on BT Sport.
He has performed all over the world including Comedy Festivals in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, South Africa, Holland, France, Ireland and Germany. He’s entertained the troops in Kuwait, Bosnia,Kosovo, Cyprus and Afghanistan. He was the first British stand-up to perform in Moscow and the first performer to appear for The Comedy Store in Mumbai.
"Seriously funny." The Guardian
"Like a cross between Tony Hancock and Frankie Howerd. Stone is probably better than we deserve. Ultimately, it is the sheer quantity of funny material that really impresses." The List
SHELF
Shelf are the lively comedy duo made up of Rachel WD and Ruby Clyde. As life-long best friends, their on-stage chemistry is unmistakable and thier ability to bounce off of each other is what makes this double act so unique.
After years of friendship, childhood pals Rachel and Ruby made the decision to share their jokes with the rest of the world in 2015. Immediately, they made an impact on the industry, with their refreshing look at taboo topics, they inspired not only laughter but others dealing with the subjects they addressed. Both members are openly gay and their experiences as queer women in a modern age are weaved throughout their sketches.
Recently, Shelf have performed at Bestival, London Pride and Bedlam Late Night, as well as being nominated for Sketchfest’s Best New Act Award. They have also been featured on BBC3, LadBible and have also been recognised for their musical flair that is incorporated in their stand up, with a Musical Comedy Award nomination for 2020.
“This pair have an enviable rapport and a fluid connection with the audience and it’s impossible not to have fun in their company.” Chortle

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.
"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
