DAVID IAN

David was described by Attitude Magazine as ‘outrageously funny’, Broadway Baby called him ‘gloriously filthy’ while The Skinny said his act was ‘pitch perfect’. He was a semi finalist in Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian 2022. His solo show Mediocre Gay sold out Camden Fringe in 2022 while his next show David Ian: (Just a) Perfect Gay was named one of the top 10 shows to see at Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 by both Attitude & Broadway Baby and was released as his first TV special globally on OUTtv in May 2024.

MARK FLYNN

Mark Flynn started stand-up at 50yrs old. Since then, he's gone on to beat the gongs at Top Secret, Comedy Store, Vauxhall and Up The Creek comedy clubs. He was a finalist in the New Act of The Year (NATYS) 2022 and Old Act of The Year 2022, as he is both new and a little bit old.

Mark is a man of few words, most of them sarcastic. Don't ask him how he is, he will tell you. He describes his personality as "divorced" and is only doing stand up comedy to replace the attention he didn't get as a child or an adult. He doesn't smile.

MANRAJ BAHRA

Manraj Bahra is a British-Asian comedian, based in London. He combines an unusual surgically impaired voice with a joke-heavy and occasionally dark set that touches on topics such as identity and relationships.

During his short career, he has been a BBC New Comedian of the Year Regional Finalist, Chortle Student Comedy Competition Semi-Finalist and Laughing Horse National Comedy Competition Semi-Finalist and has entertained audiences across the UK.
