"Delightfully weird." **** Time Out

"Likeable, sweeping the audience in the sheer energy of his performance. The strength of his scatty character rips through the room like a mini-hurricane." **** Chortle

"Quirky, with an eye for the absurd and a couple of near-Izzardian flourishes." The Stage

ROBYN PERKINS

Since 2011, American comedian Robyn Perkins has been combining her scientific background with her ridiculous life stories. Her "exceptionally charismatic" (Voice Magazine) style has also allowed her to delve into more sensitive topics, whilst her background in biology influences her ‘unfiltered’ comedy, combining science and real life stories.

She regularly hosts various clubs across London including Angel Comedy, Top Secret Comedy Club and Laugh Train Home.

“Sharp, insightful, touching,but above all really, really funny.” Three Weeks

JOHN ASHMORE

John is an incredibly new stand-up who we watched win the infamous King Gong show at the Comedy Store.  His modest appearance belies a formidable comedy brain that can turn all sorts from growing up as a Quaker to verging on blindness and the finer points of the McDonald's menu into finely minted comedy routines.

A sense of dark mischief with a winning attitude.” Chortle

DYLAN GOTT

BITE TV, hosted his show The Sport Brahs on XM Radio and was nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award.

“Delightfully bizarre.” AV Club

AND YOUR RESIDENT HOST: 

BEN VAN DER VELDE

Standing a statuesque five foot five inches high (not in heels) and weighing in at eleven stone (on a good day) Ben is the current light-middleweight contender for compering champion of North London.

"Sharp and crafty gagsmith, a life-giving compere." Chortle

"Wonderfully improvised riffs showcasing his impressive spontaneity and sharp tongue." Edinburgh Festivals Magazine

“The perfect comedy club host – he is a master of audience interaction. The audience weren’t just warmed up, but pretty hysterical even before the first act of the night hit the stage.”  Huffington Post
