Bennett Arron
The only Jewish Welsh comedian on the circuit, Bennett Arron is also a producer, director and writer and has been described as a cross between the paranoid angst of Woody Allen and the colloquial valley humour of Max Boyce. Also a trained actor, he takes command of the stage and his humour veers between obsessed anxiety and natural occurrences; with his contagious laugh he lights up any room. 'One of the best gagsmiths on the circuit... a Welsh Seinfeld' (The Guardian) 'Genuinely original and funny' (The Times) 'Hilarious... clever wit... razor sharp' (The Standard) 'Wildly talented' (Chortle) 'Had the room creased up' (The Scotsman).

Rob Rouse
An English comedian known for his hyperactive brand of humour. Since winning Channel Four's prestigious 'So You Think You're Funny' Competition at the Edinburgh Festival in 1998, an award previously won by Phil Kay, Dylan Moran, Lee Mack, Tommy Tiernan and Peter Kay, he has been a regular performer at major venues on both the London and National circuit. With more energy than a hyperactive six-year-old sucking on a lollipop while bouncing on a space-hopper, he is a veteran of several critically acclaimed Edinburgh Festival shows, three sold out national theatre tours and a New Zealand tour, firmly establishing him as one of comedy's most lively, amenable and dynamic performers. 'He is a great storyteller... prepared to go to the bleakest and most uncomfortable places... The tears of laughter came in floods’ (The Scotsman). 'Frankly brilliant' (www.SuchSmallPortions.com) 'Brilliant' (Chortle) 'A carefully weighted hour of comedic storytelling' (Fest) 'Missing This show means missing something wonderful' (Edinburgh Evening News).

James Cook
Compere at The Comedy Kav at Patrick Kavanagh Bar in Birmingham. 'Not to be confused with the explorer, the bass player in the Arctic Monkeys, a character off of Skins, the BBC's Scotland correspondent, the Australian Rules footballer, the boxer, the square in Middlesbrough, the University in Queensland or the type of Mercedes Mini-van' (James's website) 'An award-winning commercial radio presenter and stand-up comedian his laid back attitude, dry sense of humour and sharp tongue are a rare mix that always fascinates his audiences' (Funhouse Comedy).
