Barry Dodds has forged an enviable reputation for himself over the past few years, charming audiences nationwide, with his uniquely tailored combination of disarming wit and wry, down-to-earth observational humour. Fascinated by stand-up from an early age, Barry took to the stage at the tender age of 21, and is now a firm audience favourite at clubs such as Highlight, The Stand, The Frog and Bucket, The Last Laugh, XS Malarkey and many more. In 2006 Barry jetted off to Luxembourg where he performed a solo show - and became the first ever comedian to perform on Luxembourg TV and in 2007 appeared in the prestigious Avalon Comedy Zone at the Edinburgh Fringe. “Hugely enjoyable…a ton of great stories…one to watch” – The Guardian "Razor sharp humour" – Metro "winning friends with his energy and spirit…" – Chortle "Very impressive" - Jasper Carrot KEITH CARTER AS NIGE Failed singer/musician and doomed to a life of temping, Keith Carter is now a professional character comedian, actor and writer. His seventh comedy gig was as a finalist for the BBC New Comedy Awards in 2001, since then he has traveled throughout the world, supporting many top comics such as Ricky Gervais and Johnny Vegas and has won several awards including Liverpool Echo Comedian of the Year in 2003 and North West Breakthrough Comedian of the Year in 2005. Capital of Culture judge, Sir Jeremy Isaacs was quoted in the news as saying, ‘He helped Liverpool win the bid,’ after seeing Carter’s comic creation and Liverpool cult hero, ‘Nige’ perform at the cultural bid show for the judges. ‘A character comedian of rare skill.’ The Guardian ‘Surely this man will have his own show in a few years time.’ Chortle ‘Give this man a sitcom.’ Edinburgh Evening News (THEY FINALLY HAVE) DAN NIGHTINGALE One of British Stand-Ups hidden gems; Dan Nightingale is one of the best performers found on the comedy circuit today. Mixing brilliant observation and energetic characterisations with killer punch lines his comedy is original, playful, intelligent, exciting, sometimes ridiculous but always hilarious. He’s a natural with the crowd, bouncing off any audience interaction wonderfully, making him a much sought after host and MC. Yet he’s also an inventive writer and a great storyteller and his comedy sets, whether supporting or headlining, are a chance to see the full variety of his superb material and clever stagecraft. And If you really push him he’ll admit to being an excellent swimmer and a near genius in the field of gourmet cheese on toast. "damn funny.” Festmag “Exciting and Imaginative” Edinburgh Evening News “A 100mph whirlwind….Brilliant” The Manchester Evening News “Magnetic, entertaining and wonderfully friendly” Three Weeks “Fantastic…He has it in him to be another Kitson or Noble.” Metro “…an engaging performer with a well-developed instinct for funny.” Chortle “easily rivals, if not betters, the ‘big-name’ comedians” Broadway Baby “could be unstoppable”The Independent LAST LAUGH COMEDY WHERE THE PROFESSIONAL COMICS GIG!
