SOPHIE DUKER

Sophie Duker is a comedian and writer whose favourite things include breaking hearts, taking names and telling jokes with the confidence of a cis straight middle-class white man. Her Edinburgh Fringe Show, Venus, saw her nominated for the Best Newcomer award and gained critical, catapulting her to a sold-out two week run at the Soho Theatre.

Since then Sophie has won the PinkNews Award for Entertainer of The Year after being nominated alongside artists including Sam Smith, Rosie Jones, Self-Esteem and Rina Sawayama, sold out the tour of her second tour, become a Taskmaster champion and appeared on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Mock the Week, Frankie Boyle’s New World Order and Live at the Apollo next month!

If you want to see a comic just at the tipping point before she becomes a megastar, now is that time.

"A tremendous lightness of touch...surely heading straight to the top." Evening Standard

"Extremely funny." The Scotsman

FINLAY CHRISTIE

At just 19 years old, Finlay Christie is the youngest ever winner of the prestigious 'So You Think You're Funny Competition'.

3 years later, his debut Edinburgh show 'OK Zoomer' was nominated for NextUp's 'Best Show' award thanks to his excellent material, based around his experience as a Gen Z, leading Chortle to describe him as “the voice of his generation”.

His greatest success is online, with a YouTube channel that features sketches and stand-up clips boasting over 400k subscribers and 150 million views. He can also rock it on old-fashioned media, appearing on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, The Stand-Up Sketch Show and Jokes Only An AI Can Tell. He has also performed at Montreal’s Just For Laughs festival and across Europe for the Comedy Store.

"The future of stand-up comedy." Broadway Baby

MICHELLE SHAUGHNESSY
Michelle Shaughnessy was a force to be reckoned with in Canada's standup comedy scene. Hailing from in Toronto Michelle is fast making a name for herself across North America and now the UK where she currently resides.

Shaughnessy mines every part of her life for funny and just keeps coming up with gold. Her debut album “You Know What You Did” hit number one on the iTunes comedy charts and her sophomore release “Botoxic” recently received 5 out of 5 N’s from Now Magazine.

AND YOUR RESIDENT HOST:

BEN VAN DER VELDE

One of the quickest wits around and a much-loved compere, he always brings a jam-packed back of nonsense, silliness and wisecracks to every gig he hosts.

"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
