Paddy Lennox is an Irish stand-up comedian and actor known for his sharp wit and engaging storytelling. He has performed at major comedy clubs and festivals across the UK and Ireland, including the Comedy Store, The Glee Club, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Paddy has worked as an actor, appearing in various television and radio productions. His comedy style often blends observational humour with personal anecdotes, and he is a regular on the UK comedy circuit.

Multi Award winner Jack McLean is a rising star on the Northern Comedy circuit. Having been crowned Hull What’s on New Comedian of the Year, Bask in Laughter champion 2022 and Yorkshire Comedy Awards Best Breakthrough Act 2023.

This year has also seen Jack make his TV debut as a Semi-Finalist on BBC Three’s ‘BBC New Comedy Awards 2023’ before going on to support Josh Jones, Tom Lucy & Steff Todd on their latest tours.

Faizan Shah is a Manchester-based comic who moved to the UK as a child, his well-crafted jokes make light of growing up in an immigrant household and the inevitable mental health challenges it brings.

The quality of Faizan’s joke writing, and affable stage presence has seen him progress quickly from beating Comedy Store’s King Gong and Frog and Bucket’s Beat the Frog to now breaking through the circuit with a strong 20 minute set and performing at both those venues pro weekend gigs in under 2 years. We believe Faizan to be one of the most exciting new acts to come out of Manchester for a few years.

MC JON PEARSON

Jon began standup comedy in 2011, with his first performance at Birmingham’s Highlight Comedy Club.

Two successful Edinburgh shows later, and 5 years working the UK comedy circuit, Jon is now regularly found at the biggest and best comedy clubs across the UK including The Glee Club & The Comedy Store both as an act and a compere.

Jon’s laid back storytelling has audiences hanging on his every word. With tales based around his own life experiences, his anecdotes are relatable and certain to have people in hysterics.
