Paul Savage is a Midlands comic who has gigged all over the UK from the Highlands of Scotland to the very tip of Cornwall, and all over the world from Sweden to South Australia. He's recently returned from down under in fact, where he's been touring his latest show, which he describes as “Just loads of true stories of me being a dickhead.”
He once impressed a girl at a gig so much she called off her engagement and stalked him for a bit, sending him naughty photos. She later moved back to Poland.
“Genuinely brilliant. Writes a good joke, draws a good cartoon: an all round hoot” – The Guardian
“A man determined to find comedy in the unlikeliest of places” – Broadway Baby

Lulu Simons is a comedian, actor and proud Welsh woman, bringing cutting wit and waggish charm to the stage. Her latest show, “Council Estate Gap Year”, debuted as a sell-out performance at the Women in Comedy Festival in Manchester; earning outstanding reviews. Canal Street Online: “Lulu reminded us of Victoria Wood in her observational comedy and great comic timing”
------
Danny Sutcliffe is your compère for the evening. Seen most recently on the big screen in the film ‘Mr Doom: Behind The 8-Ball’ – now available on all good streaming services – he's also a thoroughly lovely fella who lists standing on sheds and flipping tables among his many anti-social hobbies.
“Dazzles with his mix of surreal and observational gags. A manic, unruly energy belies a great writing talent” – The Skinny
