MC Hammersmith & Friends in Southampton

MC Hammersmith is the world's leading freestyle rapper to emerge from the ghetto of middle-class West London.

MC Hammersmith (the alias of Will Naameh), is a multi-award winning hip hop comedian. He is the world’s leading rapper to ever emerge from the ghetto of middle class west London.

In his live shows, MC Hammersmith performs improvised hip hop comedy. The lyrics and rhymes of his raps are 100% improvised and based entirely on audience suggestions. In this guise he has won numerous comedy awards, headlined weekends at every major comedy club in the UK, sold out multiple consecutive runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, supported Jason Manford on his live arena tour, and is currently on his third nationwide solo tour.

He also writes and performs scripted hip hop comedy tracks, which have gone viral on numerous platforms – most notably racking up over 100 million views on TikTok.

He has over 1M followers across social media.

He has performed alongside famous hip hop and rap artists – most notably rapping for Dave in a viral “Guess The Musician” Beta Squad video, and being invited to freestyle at R.A. The Rugged Man’s London live show. He is also a writer for acclaimed YouTube series Epic Rap Battles of History.

Having started comedy as an improvisational comedian, he trained at Second City Chicago, iO, Annoyance, and UCB New York. He still performs improv today, in some of the world’s biggest touring improv shows – he can frequently be spotted improvising with Baby Wants Candy, Shamilton, and The Spontaneous Players at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and across the globe. He has headlined numerous international improv festivals, and was the first person in the UK to perform improv in an arena.

Southampton based comedian Mike Vaughan had been a musician for years with his work appearing on BBC Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio Solent, Voice FM and ITV’s Meridian Tonight. Once he realised that audiences appreciated his chats in-between songs more than the songs themselves, a journey into comedy was inevitable. Mike brings a unique blend of comedy and music where his cheeky personality shines through. Despite only doing comedy for a short while, Mike has already made a name for himself as someone guaranteed to have audiences roaring with laughter.
He reached the final of 2023’s Southampton Comedian Of The Year. He has already appeared on line ups with Al Murray, Mark Simmons, Troy Hawke, Tom Ward, Phil Nichol, Paul McCaffrey, Sean Collins among many others.
“Mike Vaughan is both beautiful and haunting looking (and seeming). He is also very funny!” Tom Ward
