Headlining the show we have BAFTA winning comedy writer and stand up comedian Meryl O'Rourke.  

 

Meryl is an experienced comic, regular support for Frankie Boyle and writer on all of his TV shows including BAFTA nominated New World Order, BAFTA Winning Farewell To The Monarchy and Mock The Week.

 

Her solo special "Vanilla" is streaming on NextUpComedy, with her previous solo show "Bad Mother..." being 5 star reviewed and Times & Observer pick.

"5 * * * * * As near perfect as you can find.  Charming delivery keep the audience in no doubt they've just seen one of this year's fringe highlights" British Comedy Guide 

"Ripe with comedy. A unique perspective: sharp and dark, and refreshingly unsentimental" Stephanie Merritt, Observer

 

"Inspiringly funny" Frankie Boyle

 

Opening the show we have the high energy musical comedy of Stevie Gray.  A cheeky and versatile comedian, Stevie's act combines jokes, music, news stories and audience participation to create an up-tempo energy in any room Stevie has been performing now for over 15 years and is a very popular act indeed.

 

Career highlights so far have been headlining the Bognor Regis Comedy Festival, headlining a show at the Woking Comedy Festival, headlining and compering the Comedy Tent at the Blissfields music festival and being the opening comedy act at Guilfest 2012.
