Jamali Maddix
Jamali Maddix is one of the most fearless and compelling comics to emerge in recent years, known for his bold takes and unmistakable stage presence. He’s a regular on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, was the most anarchic Taskmaster contestants the show has ever seen, been on Live at the Apollo, Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, and fronted his own Viceland series Hate Thy Neighbor. A sold-out Fringe favourite with global tours under his belt, Jamali delivers brutally honest comedy with confidence, charm and bite.
"Something to offend everyone." – ★★★★ THE SUNDAY TIMES"It’s a failing of the comedy industry that there aren’t more voices like Jamali Maddix on the circuit." – ★★★★ CHORTLE "If you are easily offended stay away. If you think you’re not, prepare to be challenged." – ★★★★★ EDINBURGH FESTIVALS MAGAZINE "Sharp as a tack." – THE SPECTATOR

Colin Owens [compere]
Colin Owens is the charming chaos at the heart of Stand Up in the Basement. He’s been gigging across the UK comedy circuit since 2005, known for his dry delivery, laid-back style, and razor-sharp crowd work. Colin’s the glue that holds the night together setting the tone, warming up the room, and making sure no one gets too comfy in the front row.
