TOM ROSENTHAL
Tom Rosenthal is an award-winning comedian, actor, writer and TV presenter.
Best known for his work in the Emmy/BAFTA winning Friday Night Dinner (C4) and Plebs (ITV), both which set records for the highest audience and the highest ratings for any comedy on their respective channels, Tom is also known for his roles in Lloyd of the Flies, Broadchurch (ITV), Dad’s Army – The Lost Episodes (Gold), Bridget Jones’ Baby (2016) and Operation Fortune (2023).
As a standup comedian Tom’s relaxed observational material and sharply written punchlines have received critical acclaim. His stand-up show, Manhood, toured around the UK to rave reviews and received high praise at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Tom has also appeared on Comedy Central’s Drunk History and Roast Battle as well as 8 Out Of 10 Cats, The Last Leg, The Great Pottery Throwdown (C4), Celebrity Catchphrase (ITV), Pointless Celebrities, The Weakest Link, Richard Osman’s House of Games (BBC), Battle in the Box (U&Dave), Banged Up (C4) and Pilgrimage (BBC).
MARISE GAUGHAN
As a stand-up comedian, Marise started her career in Los Angeles, appearing in on stages including The Comedy Store and The Hollywood Improv. Since returning to the UK, her debut stand-up show Drowning explored her father’s (successful) suicide attempt and her own (unsuccessful) one. It premiered at the Dublin Fringe Festival in 2019 where it was nominated for the Fringe’s Spirit of Wit Moira Brady Averill Award for artists whose work defies categorisation with bold and unconventional material and for the First Fortnight Award for shows that challenge stigma and prejudice about mental health. Marise was subsequently awarded the Women’s Irish Network Arts Bursary. She has also supported acts including Rob Delaney, Ari Shaffir and Jim Norton on tour.
Gaughan’s humour is dark, biting, and painfully honest, but it is in the moments when she is being gentler to herself that her words are at their most transcendent.
