PHIL ELLIS
Star of Taskmaster and award-winning
comedian, Phil Ellis, has entertained audiences of all ages with
his amalgamation of off-beat observational material and physical
comedy.
Phil’s 2025 Edinburgh Fringe show, Soppy Stern, won the Malcolm
Hardee Award for Act That Should Make a Million Quid, and was a
joint-winner for Best Show for the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards.
Ellis also brought back his award-winning hit kids show, Funz and
Gamez, for a two week run entitled Funz and Gamez Rebootz. It won
Best Fringe Kids Show at The List Festival Awards and is a previous
winner of the Edinburgh Fringe Panel Prize. He has also starred and
co-wrote three series of his own BBC Radio 4 sitcom Phil Ellis is
Trying, co-starring Johnny Vegas, Lolly Adefope, Amy Gledhill,
Alexei Sayle, Sindhu Vee, Jack Dee, Lee Mack, Mark Lamarr and Sean
Lock. The series was nominated for a BBC Audio Award in 2019.
If you want to see an act matching the
madcap anarchy of the original alternative comedy boom, matched to
John Cleese's physicality and Johnny Vegas' hilarious pathos, then
Phil Ellis is your man,
‘"The density of gags is impressive… There’s not many better
exponents of this message-free, ego-free, knockabout comedy than
Ellis in his prime." Chortle
"Ellis’s performance is touched by comic genius. Every moment he
is on stage something funny, and then funnier, is
happening." Scotsman
MICHAEL AKADIRI
Michael is the latest comic to carry on the noble tradition of NHS doctors who are also hilarious stand-ups. His natural charm and cheeky, observational style has already seen him become a regular headliner around the country and a burgeoning TV star on Comedy Central LIVE, The Stand Up Sketch Show and Radio 4. His biggest show so far - ‘No Scrubs’ - sold out the entire run at the Edinburgh Fringe, culminating in a nomination for NextUp’s Biggest Award in Comedy. He's now preparing for his second national tour and certainly well on his way to becoming a household name.
“Hugely entertaining. A sharp-witted everyman." Chortle
“Politically punchy." Guardian
"Supremely talented and likeable.” Metro
“Appealingly natural. Original yet relatable material.” Chortle
AND YOUR HOST:
ALEXANDER BENNETT
Alexander Bennett’s comedy has been variously described as dark, silly, filthy and thoughtful. He has filmed several stand-up specials, created the cult hit comedy game show Hell To Play and recently started his new high-concept podcast Born Yesterday, which has already had guests including Jordan Gray, Phil Wang and Eshaan Akbar.
His 2023 show recieved several 5 and 4 star reviews, was shortlisted for the Amused Moose Comedy Award and a joke from it appeared in the Telegraph's Top 10 Funniest Jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe.
He has collaborated with Mark Watson, was nominated at the Leicester Comedy Awards as part of Consignia and co-orchestrated a huge charity event at the Pleasance Grand in Edinburgh called Dan Vs Food, in which a cast of 25+ comedians including Ed Gamble, Iain Stirling, Nick Helm, Sophie Duker and Ivo Graham watched a man called Dan eat his lunch.
"Warm, insane and very funny." The Guardian
