Building on two years of consistently packed-out shows in its intimate 100-seat venue, the show is now reaching even wider audiences with a new tour of larger venues across the South East of England.
Jen Brister
Jen Brister is a critically acclaimed stand up comedian and writer who has been seen on BBC's Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, Frankie Boyle's New World Order, Hypothetical and Sara Pascoe's Comedy Lectures on Dave. She is soon to star in (along with team mate Laura Smyth!) Celebrity Hunted. Jen is a regular performer on the UK and international comedy circuits and has written and performed on BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz, The Now Show and presented for BBC 6 Music.
Kae Kurd
Kae and Laura were both filming their second appearances at Live At The Apollo a few weeks ago. Just like Laura, Kae also has an extensive list of TV credits which include Mock the Week, Celebrity Masterchef, The Apprentice: You're Fired, Celebrity Juice, Cunk & Other Humans, Have I Got News For You and A League of Their Own to name but a few. His 2021 nationwide "Spoken Kurd" Tour was sold out. His 2023 "Kurd Immunity" was sold out with the closing night at the Hammersmith Apollo.
Laura Smyth
Winner of the Funny Women Awards and fresh off her solo tour which included selling out the Indigo O2, Laura Smyth has fun mugging off all the madness of parenting, childhood, school, marriage, social media, work, and chasing her dreams. Laura has played the Comedy Arenas at Glastonbury, Latitude, Reading and Leeds Festivals. TV appearances include Live At The Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Frankie Boyle's New World Order and Jonathan
Ross' Comedy Club. She is soon to star in (along with team mate Jen Brister!) Celebrity Hunted.
Jeff Innocent
Multi award winning comedian Jeff Innocent has reached legendary status among his peers and audiences alike by staying at the top of his game for almost 3 decades. Widely acknowledged as one of the UK's top headline acts and comperes. His unique appeal lies in the contrast between his East End 'geezer' appearance and demeanour, and his educated, philosophical delivery and culturally relevant subject matter. Always original, he continues to cement his position within the history of British stand up comedians, winning multiple prestigious comedy awards including British Comedian of the Year and Best Live Club Comedian at the UK Comedy Awards. He has recently acquired a whole new generation of fans, through his online viral video clips which have clocked up over 10,000,000 views. Jeff has made many television appearances as an actor, stand-up and presenter on BBC 1, BBC 2, BBC 3, Channel 4, ITV 1.
