Comedian, actor, director, writer, producer, sketch performer, stand up, playwright... Stuart is a comedy polymath, with a style of distinctively structured surrealism all of his own.

He has written and performed eight full length comedy shows so far, and continues to be a lynchpin of the alternative comedy scene.

The creation of English character comedian Alexis Dubus, Marcel Lucont is France’s premier flaneur, raconteur, bon-viveur, misanthropist and lover, whose act involves, in his own words, “dry wit, bawdy chansons and exquisite sex poetry”.

Performing as Marcel, Alexis has won several comedy awards, and appeared on TV shows around the world, generally pouring scorn on anyone who isn’t, well, him.

Grainne Maguire is a politically-minded comedian who has appeared on everything from BBC 1’s Question Time to Radio 4’s The News Quiz. She recently took to Twitter to live-tweet her menstrual cycle to Taoiseach Enda Kenny in protest of Ireland’s abortion laws; it provoked a global response and was covered in The Guardian, The Independent and The Irish Times.

Christopher Bliss (as performed by character comedian Rob Carter) writes two to three novels a day. He's fairly well known amongst his family and friends, and he's pretty sure he's the best writer in his village....

A masterful comedy creation, Christopher Bliss talks us through his brilliantly wrong take on the world of writing.

Phil Nichol is a Canadian stand up, one of the few comics to have won the hugely prestigious Edinburgh comedy award. His recent comedy acting pedigree is also impressive, having clocked up appearances in Man Down (Channel 4), Siblings (BBC 3), Catastrophe (Channel 4), and performing as Terry Gilliam in Holy Flying Circus (BBC 4). Known for his boundary-pushing material, strap in for a show which is as shocking as it is absurd.
