Please note that Stand-up Comedy is of an Adult Nature.

Dave Williams

Excellent topical and observational Mancunian stand-up comedian for nearly twenty years, drinker of fine ales, red wine, and proper coffee. Endowed with an un-paralleled ability to avoid working, by means of the above and through cryptic crosswords, air drumming, distance running, and looking at porn...these seldom simultaneously. Also he is the sole reason why the so-called David Walliams is the partner of Matt Lucas.

Sam Brady

Wigan-born comic, Sam Brady, has a colourful past. His personal achievements include operating a ten-foot illuminated Buddha at the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony, crashing a dumper truck, and becoming a granddad at the age of 35. Homespun philosophy, personal stories and punchy gags - Sam likes to keep the laughs coming in thick and fast.

Danny Deegan

Danny Deegan is a comedian, writer and actor who began performing in 2003 and has since risen steadily through the ranks of some of the most prestigious Comedy Clubs in the UK. His tales of mischief and the characters he creates, have kept audiences all over the country enthralled as he weaves in and out of the people he has met travelling. His talent and likeability coupled with a confident swagger have seen him gain repeat bookings for some of the biggest promoters in the country. "Charming, witty and most importantly funny" - Metro.

Phil Ellis (Compere)

Phil Ellis has established a reputation as a unique, reliable and exciting act. A regular MC on the national circuit, his natural and instantly likeable style has proved a hit with promoters and audiences alike. Phil regularly MCs at big weekend clubs such as Highlight and the Frog and Bucket, where he has his own night at both the Preston and Manchester venues. His ability to think on his feet means that there is always a slight twist to his set, making each performance fresh and thrilling.
