ALASDAIR BECKETT-KING
Alasdair is a legendary comedian, in that there is little historical evidence that he exists. But he does exist. And he is freshly returned from a victorious Edinburgh Fringe where he received five-star reviews and the acclaim of king of British alternative comedy, Stewart Lee.
He is a regular panelist on BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz, as well as appearing on 8 out of 10 Cats, Mock the Week, Comedy Central Live and at the Glastonbury Festival. He knows quite a lot about 19th century magicians. Tourists often ask to have their photo taken with him, presumably impressed by this. When the world went to pot with the plague he has become a viral phenomenon with his incredible self-produced sketch videos, each of them worthy of a TV commission on its own. He's skewered everything from Hercule Poirot to Swedish noir to point and click adventure games. These videos led to a sell out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and a couple of successful national tours. Alasdair is also an acclaimed children's author, podcaster and computer game designer. We have no idea where he finds the time either?
"Clockwork comedy perfection." Stewart Lee
"A singular and truly distinct act, Alasdair Beckett-King creates his own multi-faceted world." The Scotsman
"Extraordinary show: erudite, daft, punning, rammed with gags, rich in characters...you couldn’t possibly ask for more." Chortle
“A bold and fresh comedy voice.” The Stage
PETER RETHINASAMY
Born and raised in Belfast to a Malaysian father and Irish
mother, Peter is a comedian with hard hitting, punchy jokes and
hilarious tales of growing up in Northern Ireland.
Since he started performing stand up, he has reached the
semi-finals of the Laughing Horse New Act Competition and won the
London Comedy Store’s King Gong Competition. Recently Peter has
been supporting Judi Love, Seann Walsh, Kerry Godliman, Russell
Kane and Tom Allen on tour around the UK.
Combining his love of comedy writing and acting (he was a member of
the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain), Peter has been on
Comedy Central Live, appeared in The Heist Before Christmas,
alongside Timothy Spall and even in an episode of Ted
Lasso.
KATE CHEKA
Funny Women Award winner and Chortle Best Newcomer Award
nominee, Kate Cheka is already a powerhouse performer. With her
high-energy and hilarious approach to life, she leaves both
audiences and fellow comedians in stitches. She has a knack for
cutting through the noise and delivering impeccable comedic timing
with every punchline. Her material ranges from personal
observations on everyday life, to perspectives on the current
cultural climate that make for thought-provoking comedy.
"Charismatic, eloquent, frank and witty." 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
