Phil Kay - Phil's comedy is a unique blend of energy, improvisation and leaps of imagination that take his audience on a joyride they'll never forget. Even Phil has no idea what might happen when he unleashes his crazy brand of improvised comedy mayhem. He possesses the rare gift of creating a space where audiences feel like they are kids again, all taking part in a practical joke. Phil launched his stand-up comedy career with a bang in 1989, quickly garnering a host of awards, nominations and glowing reviews. Since then, the plaudits have never stopped as he conquered first the live stage and then television, with appearances on such shows as Phil Kay Feels, (Ch 4), Next Stop Phil Kay (Ch 4), Edinburgh Nights (BBC1) and plenty more besides. Phil's first love, however, remains live stage work ­ and only by watching his live performances will audiences really see him at his very best. Phil Kay is stand-up comedy's answer to spontaneous human combustion ­ a rare, explosive and always surprising phenomenon that simply cannot be contained. Phil tours Britain constantly and is a firm favourite at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where he performs yearly to sell-out crowds and critical acclaim. Over the years he has completed several highly successful tours of Australia, performing at the Adelaide and Melbourne Festivals. Mark Olver - Mark recently supported Russell Howard on his recent tour and is the regular co-host of BBC Radio 2’s Out To Lunch. An experienced television warm-up, he is the regular warm-up on the little-seen Deal or No Deal and has also worked on other productions such as Kings of Comedy, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, The Vicar of Dibley, FAQ U and Ready Steady Cook. Dan Nightingale - One of stand-up’s brightest stars. A natural performer, a brilliant compere and one of the most exciting acts in comedy; Dan mixes cutting observation and raucous gags with high energy audience work and a natural playfulness, engaging any crowd. Original, creative and totally un-predictable. A relative newcomer widely regarded as the hottest new comic talent on the circuit. He has the fresh-faced demeanour of a boy band member but with the quick-witted mind of a hilariously sleazy, high octane raconteur. Dan recently completed a national tour as support to Ross Noble.
