Carey Marx

A veteran of the UK comedy circuit, Carey Marx has built a reputation for his dark humour, mischievous delivery and fearless approach to controversial topics. An international award-winner who has performed across the globe, Carey's TV and radio credits include Gas (Channel 4), The Stand Up Show (BBC), and his own Radio 4 series, Intensive Carey. Chortle described him as "quite brutal, in a darkly comic Quentin Tarantino kind of way".

Dave Longley (MC)

Hosting the evening is the brilliantly unpredictable Dave Longley. Equal parts intelligent, provocative and absurdly funny, Dave's unique style combines sharp observations, deadpan storytelling and superb audience interaction. A regular headline act and MC at comedy clubs nationwide, he's one of the most respected and distinctive performers on the UK circuit.

Bethany Black

Award-winning comedian, actor and writer Bethany Black has spent more than 20 years delighting audiences with her sharp wit and refreshingly honest comedy. Alongside her stand-up career, Bethany has appeared in Doctor Who, Cucumber, Banana, Tofu and No Offence, while also writing for television and radio. Warm, candid and hilariously relatable, she's one of the most engaging performers in British comedy.

Pierre Hollins

A favourite with audiences around the world, Pierre Hollins is known for his easy-going charm, quick wit and infectious stage presence. Having headlined comedy clubs throughout the UK, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, Pierre has earned a reputation as a consistently funny and hugely likeable performer. Whether sharing keen observations or delightfully absurd stories, he always leaves audiences wanting more.
