James Ross
Remember childhood favourite Guess Who? James Ross does that, but based on

time not absolutely guaranteed but quite likely.

Alex is a natural comedic talent and even with 5 months away from stage, she
stays hilarious and consistent - Dane Baptiste
She is so comfortable and engaging to watch! Way beyond her years - Brennan
Reece
Fantastic gag rate. I can see you on TV. Really original persona I can see
working on TV. I hope you do. - Rachel Parris
Saeth Wheeler
Saeth is a gay socialist from Yorkshire - but despite that, they're quite
nice, really. You can see them delivering their witty, absurdist comedy at
venues around the North, including Dodgy Comedy, Complete Joke, and Blizzard
Comedy.
"Saeth is a brilliant comic whose friendly and likeable stage presence only
serves to hide their pointed fury at the world and themselves." - Bradford
Fringe
"Everything wrong with modern Britain" - The Daily Mail
and Maxine Wade
A rising star of the northern comedy scene, Maxine Wade combines political
satire with anecdotes of her time nursing in the NHS. Her hilarious quick
fire gags and puns about real life stories you wouldnt believe happened to
her will have you laughing all night. Saucy, sexy, and with a hint of
sarcasm, Maxine has a reputation for bringing the house down.

trans inclusive variety), and queer activists alike.
Jonny is a force of nature on stage. A whirlwind of hilarity with a unique viewpoint, they energy and passion personified. XS Malarkey
