Jon Richardson - Winner of the 2008 Chortle Breakthrough Act Award and one of the most in-demand young artists on the comedy circuit, Jon has supported Alan Carr on his national tour. You may also recognise him from his BBC 6 Music show every Sunday morning.
Junior Simpson - Since appearing on the comedy scene, Luton’s lapsed choirboy Junior Simpson quickly established himself as a true “tour de force” as a live performer as well as a highly sought after and regular face on television having performed all over the world, including Australia, the Far East, Canada and Europe.
Brian Gittins - Brian, 42, is a roadside café owner from Pyecombe. A couple of the café's regulars have said he's 'quite funny', so he's been attempting to make it in the world of comedy for a while now. His quirky, awkward, but painfully entertaining style has recently seen him support Ricky Gervais in London.
Here's what others have said about them:
- Brian Gittins: "a true original, and breathtakingly funny with it" - The Guardian
- Brian Gittins: "Brilliantly funny" - Ricky Gervais
- Junior Simpson: "is funny" - Lenny Henry
- Junior Simpson: "energetic and hilarious" - Listed Magazine
- Jon Richardson: "terrific" - The Scotsman
- Jon Richardon: "I'll smack his arse if he gets any funnier. More than talented" - Jim Bowen
In addition to the refulgent main line-up, the MC for the night will be Leicestershire's own Alan Seaman, known to many as the host of Leicester's "Ship of Fools" comedy club.
