About
Starring: MC Dave Twentyman, Scott Bennett, Fin Taylor and Dinesh Nathan.
MC Dave Twentyman is upbeat, cheery, down to earth, friendly, warm, quick on his feet…just some words that have been used to describe one of the most naturally funny comics on the UK comedy circuit today.
He has performed at a number of music festivals such as Leeds, V Festival and Download and is one of the few modern comedians who proudly features on the Blackpool Comedy Carpet and includes the names of comedy greats from past and present and a huge honour for any comic.
“Thoroughly impressed, best I’ve seen in ages. Great warmth and style ” Dave Spikey
Scott Bennett is a stand-up whose star is most definitely on the rise.
His last two shows Leap Year and Relax were nominated for ‘Best Show’ at the Leicester Comedy Festival and he was named by Chortle as One To Watch for 2018 and 19.
His debut hour stand up show About a Roy was nominated for the highly acclaimed Amused Moose Comedy Award and was selected as one of the top ten shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2015.
During the lockdown of 2020, Scott pioneered the viral hit, Stand up from the Shed, a weekly topical live streamed stand up show from his actual garden shed. The show achieved national coverage in the press, Sky News, BBC News and Five Live and has had over 150,000 views.
At the end of 2020, in the Comics Comic awards Scott was voted “Best Act” a prestigious award decided by comedians and promoters in the industry.
In 2017 and 18 Scott supported his comedy hero, Rob Brydon on his National UK tour dates for his latest show I am Standing Up and was selected to do a support slot for Michael McIntyre as part of his work in progress shows at the Duchess Theatre in London alongside Keri Godliman, Russell Kane and Ed Gamble.
“Great material, great delivery, a very funny man” Rob Brydon
“A joy to watch” Chris Ramsey
Fin Taylor has made a name for himself as one of the most talked about comedians working in the UK. His last three Edinburgh shows Whitey McWhiteface, Lefty Tighty Righty Loosey and When Harassy Met Sally were 5 star sell-out runs, and cemented his reputation as a fiercely funny and uncompromising social commentator.
He went on to appear on Comedy Central’s Roast Battle and Live From the Comedy Store as well as making his own series for the Channel ‘Fin Taylor plays Bullshit Bingo’.
Most recently Fin has guested on the most revered comedy entertainment shows in the UK, including Have I Got News for You (BBC) and 8 out of 10 Cats (E4).
He has also starred as a correspondent in the last two series of The Mash Report (BBC) and in 2018 Fin made his debut on Live At the Apollo (BBC) to great critical acclaim.
“Gleefully provocative and packed with big, hard laughs.”★★★★ The Guardian
“A gutsy, ingenious truth-teller with the jokes to back up the attitude.”★★★★ The Times
After a performing stint at the age of eight, as Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Dinesh Nathan returned to the stage 20 years later to try his hand at stand up comedy.
After winning several gong shows, he won South Coast Comedian Of The Year and was a finalist at the Komedia New Act competition and the coveted Leicester Mercury Comedian Of The Year competition.
Described as a “mix of high-spirited delivery with a sarcastic, self-deprecating viewpoint”, his club-ready, bulletproof and relentless act was named “one to watch” by Brighton Fringe Review.
