As a writer, Pierre was one of the regular writers on the rebooted Spitting Image and has also written on shows including Mock the Week, The News Quiz and The Mash Report.

One of the UK’s most acclaimed live acts, Pierre‘s latest show Why Can’t I Just Enjoy Things? saw a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and was his third show to have been placed in the top 20 best-reviewed comedy shows across the entire festival. Following an extended run at Soho Theatre, Pierre will be taking the show on his debut nationwide tour in the Autumn.

"A show packed full of belly laughs…impressively well written, perfectly building and building and rich with detail…Novellie delivers it all with real astuteness and skill." Metro

"Dawn of a major talent." Guardian

"Wry, confident observational comedy...hilarious." Sunday Times

"Slick and slightly off-beat...redolent of Eddie Izzard." Chortle

ARCHIE MADDOCKS

As a Stand-Up Comedian, Archie is a confident, cheerful, provocative and most importantly hilarious award winning stand-up comedian armed with a natural stage presence, quick acerbic wit and a ‘winning smile.’
Much in demand on the national circuit and internationally, Archie’s style lends itself to any environment, whether that be rowdy weekend comedy club, festival shows or after dinner entertainment. Quick on his feet, with a warm and affable energy, Archie is equally comfortable doing sets as he is hosting, he's worked in some of the biggest clubs in the UK, and as far afield as South Africa and the USA.

"A super-cool, super-smart storyteller." Evening Standard

SHALAKA KURUP

Shalaka Kurup is an Indian immigrant and a big fan of living, laughing and loving. She's a doctor by education, a comedian by choice, and a user experience researcher by needing to pay the bills.

Notable experiences include getting a spot at the Comedy Store by beating the King Gong and being selected as part of the prestigious Pleasance Reserve for the Edinburgh Fringe

“Material with bite and naughtiness.” 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
