Rudy is a relative newcomer and is making waves with his funky brand of comedy.

Fiona Clift
Fiona is one of the most exciting performers to hit the comedy scene; she is a performer, puppeteer and director. She trained at London International School of Performing Art. Fiona created over 50 comedy characters during lockdown, and now she is no longer sure who she is. Politicians, TV personalities, people from the internet, and some people she stole from real life, and all get muddled up in character comedy mayhem. As featured on BBC Radio Solent.

Andy Storey
Born and raised in the North of England, Andy Storey is one of the most exciting, original and idiosyncratic rising stars of the post alternative comedy scene. His deliciously dry sense of humour, and effortless performance style mark him out as a refreshing, albeit positively cynical new voice in comedy.

Kuan-Wen HuangKuan-Wen is an emerging comedian, writer and actor from Taiwan, with major breakthroughs on the UK circuit in the last two years. With a unique voice and his trademark quirky persona, Kuan-wen is an alumni of the Soho Theatre Young Company and recently performed for Comedy Central at the Edinburgh Fringe

Stella GrahamStella Graham is a naturally funny stand-up comedian. Shameless, charmingly aggressive and unladylike, she’s the funniest half Sri Lankan lass from Coventry. Stella has entertained audiences all around the world, from the Comedy Store in LA to the New Zealand Comedy Festival and Adelaide Fringe.

Sonia Aste
Sonia Aste is a Spanish writer and comedian who’s energetic presence sparkles with passion. As comfortable in a pub full of regulars as in a corporate auditorium, she is an awesome performer.
Sonia is an Engineer, has an MBA, speaks four languages and is a certified Toastmaster. These impressive credentials have not helped her comedy career, as much as doing the splits and double back summersaults, which she sometimes finishes with a one hand cartwheel.
