Eric Rushton
Since his comedy debut in 2014, Eric Rushton has been mixing with the best newcomers on the comedy scene, and impressing audiences with his intelligent, playful material and likeable, self-deprecating stage persona.
In January 2020 he won the prestigious 'Leicester Mercury Comedian of The Year' award - an award that was previously won by the likes of Romesh Ranganathan, Jason Manford and Johnny Vegas on their way to stardom.
Before that he was a Chortle Student finalist in 2016 and So You Think You're Funny? finalist 2017. He is a regular performer at the UK's biggest comedy clubs and festivals.
“Manages to keep a stag party almost rapt even while talking about the toxic pressures of masculinity.” Chortle
"Often hilarious, absurdist imagery delivered with a low-key lack of showiness, reminiscent of Sean Lock" - The Scotsman, ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐

Katie Green
One of the most exciting new voices to hit the UK comedy scene, Katie Green was born and raised near San Francisco, in a British and Salvadoran household. She was first introduced to stand-up when she was taking an acting class and a classmate told her, “You aren’t that good at acting, but you should try stand-up.” Little did she know this backhanded compliment would start her comedy career. She moved to Los Angeles to attend UCLA and pursue comedy. After getting a Master’s Degree in Latin American Studies, she decided to move to the city where her degree would be most useful; London.
Prior to moving to the UK, Katie has been featured in HBO’s Women in Comedy Festival, LaughFest, the Funny Women Fest, the San Diego Comedy Festival, and Limestone Comedy Festival. Katie was a Funny Women Finalist in 2020, and in 2022 beat 100’s of applicants to secure a place in one of Edinburgh Festival’s most prestigious new-comic showcases, ‘The Pleasance Comedy Reserve’, which helped launch the careers of Jack Whitehall, Roisin Conaty, Joe Lycett, Jamali Maddix, Darren Harriott, Sophie Duker, Nigel Ng amongst others!
Alex Stevens
Alex is a burgeoning comedic talent, fresh onto the scene and with absolutely no right to be bringing a show to the Fringe.
Alex would like to stress that a recent critic who described his act as ‘the death knell of live comedy’ caught him on a bad day, and would like to redirect your attention to a recent review that affirmed: ‘He gave it a bloody good go!’
Milly Haswell
The ‘people’s princess of Bristol comedy’, Millie Haswell is a rising star on the scene. Bringing a unique voice that is as morally dubious as it is flirty and charming, watching her is like being chatted up and held at knifepoint all at once. Her surreal and punchline heavy sets have taken her to the Edinburgh Fringe, BBC radio and some of the most renowned clubs in the UK.
