SEYMOUR MACE

Seymour was City Life Comedian of the Year in 2003 and Best Breakthrough Act at the North West Comedy Awards in 2004.

Seymour has featured in all four series of “Ideal” on BBC Three. Seymour is now unable to walk down the street without being recognised by the nation’s stoners.

 

Like a truly bizarre hybrid of Harry Hill, Half Man Half Biscuit and Viz comic Seymour is a teller of extremely tall tales and High Priest of the terrifically twisted one-liner. He is a former City Life Comedian of the Year and Best Breakthrough Act at the North West Comedy Awards.

 

He’s an Edinburgh Festival favourite proffering multi award winning surreal hilarity as featured on ‘Dave’s One Night Stand’, ‘The Weird World Of Russell Brand’, ‘The Stand-Up Show’ and ‘Clive Anderson’s Chat Room’. His recent 2015 Edinburgh show ‘Niche As F**K’ garnered 4/5 star reviews and was nominated for the Fosters Edinburgh Fringe Best Show Award.

NICKY WILKINSON

Nicola (or Nicky, as she's known on the comedy circuit) Wilkinson is an actress and comedian. She trained at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts and went on to take up acting professionally. Always having had a passion for comedy and a flair for comic roles, over the years she has been involved in sketch and improvisational comedy, alongside a vast array of more traditional acting roles.

 

Having made her first forays into stand-up comedy as a resident compere at the award-winning Funny Side Comedy clubs, she's now gigging all over the country as an act in her own right.

 

A bright and quick-witted Hullonian, her warm, likeable, down-to-earth style instantly puts audiences at ease; as ready and eager to laugh as they would be sharing a great joke with a friend. Her comedy mixes charming, real-life anecdotes with just the right dose of self-deprecation and often brilliantly funny improvised riffs with the crowd.

 

Nicky's impressive stage presence, great comic timing and considerable comedy performance experience are ensuring she's moving quickly through the stand-up comedy ranks, definitely making her one to watch!

In addition to her solo work, she's also one half of comedy double-act Wilkinson Ford and their silent comedy alter-egos The Kagools.

 

FREDDY QUINNE

Preston based, award-winning comedian Freddy Quinne's "uniquely northern observational humour" (Lancashire Evening Post) has seen a meteoric rise into some of the biggest clubs in the country. Quinne mixes clever, perfectly timed material, together with a vulnerable yet acerbic persona for a unique experience, combining for "a real tour de force performance" (Alex Boardman). His willingness to break away from his set and involve the crowd leads for an engaging and memorable set backed up with frantic energy and raw emotion.
