Headline set from circuit legend... DAVE LONGLEY !!!

Acid tongued and as sharp as a barrel full of tacks… As intense and intelligent performer as you’re likely to see.

The List

Highly original and bloody funny.

Three Weeks

Dave Longley is a difficult comedian to define; on the one hand, abrasive, crude and insulting and on the other, articulate, intelligent and disarmingly funny.

Longley’s towering stage presence and intensity, combined with his cutting wit have made him one of the most popular and controversial circuit comics in the UK, whether it’s doling out thought-provoking insights or revelling in toilet humour, Longley is a gifted wordsmith with great audience interaction skills.

David has a humble silliness which ingratiates him to audiences, he delivers deadpan accounts of his everyday life which are shockingly honest, well considered and divinely funny, maintaining a rapport with the audience that is at once edgy and accessible, engaging the whole room.

Longley is a regular headline act at comedy clubs all over the country and is also in demand as an MC. As well as being a great addition to any club line up, David had also written and performed five full length festival solo shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, each one greeted with critical acclaim. These shows have demonstrated his style of mixing everyday trials and tribulations with philosophical ideas which work beautifully together to create an enjoyable hour; an hour those audiences rarely forget.

He has a skillful eye for the nuance in dialogue and incident, which transfers from his stage act to his screen writing with delightful results. He writes across a variety of genres such as 8 Out of 10 Cats for Channel 4 and is currently working on sitcom, drama and documentary script ideas.

And NAOMI TOWNSEND!!

Naomi Townsend is a London-based comedian with a reputation for sharp, perfectly crafted one-liners. Known for her deadpan delivery and quick wit, Naomi’s humour is both precise and punchy, with each line landing like a well-aimed dart.

A winner of several prestigious comedy competitions across the country, Naomi has earned recognition for her quick-fire observations and expertly timed punchlines. Whether riffing on the absurdities of everyday life, relationships, or the quirks of human nature, she has a knack for finding comedy in the smallest details, and her sharp humour always hits the mark.

“Naomi Townsend packs the jokes in, with a super-efficient set that offers one punchline after another. The rate of them means there’s never a long wait for the next solid gag about her life. Her dedication to cramming the jokes is admirable.” – Chortle
