PAPPY’S

Probably the finest sketch groups Britain has ever produced. Every performance is full of anarchic joy by masters of the craft. Known for creating two of the funniest podcasts in the world, the fantastic Flatshare Slamdown and Bangers & Mash, Pappys have also created the super silly sitcom Badults for BBC3.

JOHN ROBINS

Yes Please! Co-host of the superb Elis James & John Robins show on Radio X, John is an excellent stand up with seven Edinburgh hours under his belt. Delightfully self assured yet self deprecating.

“One of the most naturally gifted comedians I've seen” - Telegraph

MAT EWINS

Responsible for one of the funniest shows in Edinburgh this year Ewins won critical praise for his technical wizardry and superbly fast hit rate of gags. A former Chortle student comedy awards finalist Mat has gone on to form the cult phenomenon live show that is the Bearpit Podcast Podcast. He received the Best Show award at this year's Barry Awards, as voted for by all fringe performers.

MC: GRAINNE MAGUIRE

Long-time favourite of ours and writer for a multitude of shows on Radio 4 and television, including The News Quiz and 8 out of 10 Cats.

“brilliantly fusing the personal and political, put together by a performer who knows how to tell a story” – ★★★★ The Scotsman
