Featuring
Paul Pirie - Headliner
Paul Pirie began his stand-up career after giving up acting to pursue the funny man that lies within, quickly establishing himself on the Scottish comedy circuit before lauching onto the UK comedy scene. It should be pointed out that when Paul started stand-up in 2004 he was living with his Gran, having given away the keys to his flat in a pub quiz. Since this time Paul’s career has encompassed TV, Film and Radio alongside his burgeoning skill as a stand-up with Paul emerging as one of the biggest Scottish acts on the UK comedy circuit.
“Fizzing with energy and spewing out one-liners like he had just scoffed a dodgy prawn, Pirie is a man we will be seeing more of” – Daily Record
“His delivery is superb” – Chortle
Gerry Howell - Support
Since starting in 2006, Gerry Howell has made quite an impact on the scene. His eye-catching style, which combines a rambling, rhythmic stream-of-consciousness with brilliantly conceived one-liners, has earned him award success and critical acclaim.
“The fast-rising free-associator Gerry Howell, often likened to a young Eddie Izzard… possesses a wonderfully befuddled stream of consciousness” The Guardian
“Surreal rambling brilliance… A truly brilliant rising talent… A one man Mighty Boosh” Time Out
Mae Martin - Support
Mae Martin began writing and performing comedy at tender age of 13. In the 11 years since then she has cemented her place in the Canadian comedy scene, appearing on television and radio across the country. She has been nominated for two Canadian Comedy Awards, and was the youngest ever nominee for the prestigious Tim Sims Encouragement Fund Award.She is currently based in the UK where she has recently received rave reviews for her Edinburgh show “MAE DAY”.
“She’s gentle but intelligent, sweet yet sharp, and it’s a winning combination…after the night is over, it’s Mae Martin people are talking about. She’s the gem in an evening of outstanding comic talent.” – Spoonfed.co.uk
Debra Jane Appleby - Compere
Winner of both The Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year, and Funny Women Comedy Award in 2005, Debra Jane Appelby is fast becoming one of the most popular comedians on the circuit.
“Hands down the funniest female comedian I have ever seen. A no-nonsense Yorkshire lass, Debra climbed on to the stage and was blunt and unapologetic in her approach from the offset” Worksop Guardian
