Jarred Christmas

New Zealand Sensation Jarred Christmas is one of the most innovative and exciting stand-ups on the UK circuit. A sought-after headliner famed for his quick-witted spontaneity, masterful skills of improvisation and energetic storytelling; Jarred is a regular at the Edinburgh Festival, at comedy clubs, and international festivals around the globe.

Since arriving in the UK, Jarred has amassed extensive TV experience, appearing on Mock The Week, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, 8 out of 10 Cats, and Argumental. He recently hosted BBC’s series Monumental. As a stand-up, he has appeared at The Comedy Store, Edinburgh & Beyond, Comedy Blue, The World Stands Up, One Night Stand, and Russell Howard’s Good News. He’s also been a regular on the airwaves; co-hosting The Rhod Gilbert Show, guesting on Act Your Age, Jest A Minute, Spanking New, and Flight of the Conchords.

Toussaint Douglas

Toussaint Douglass is one of comedy’s most exciting and talked about new names and is already making serious waves across the industry. His innovative brand of stand up mixes the personal with the political, whilst adding a uniquely absurdist slant to brilliant comic effect.

In 2018 he burst onto the circuit gigging at top venues such as The Comedy Store, Top Secret Comedy Club, Banana Cabaret, Backyard Comedy Club, The Glee Clubs, Frog & Bucket, Komedia Brighton & Up The Creek and achieved rave reviews for his outstanding performances at several major UK comedy competitions.

Toussaint made his TV debut on BBC Presents: Stand Up For Live Comedy (BBC Three) and has supported massive comedy names including Russell Howard and Paul Chowdhry.

Toussaint is currently writing on The Russell Howard Hour for Sky One and contributing to multiple BBC scripted projects.

Seriously talented, joyfully absurd and charmingly awkward with deceptively subversive writing, there is never a dull moment when Toussaint Douglass takes to the stage

There’s something of a Richard Ayoade vibe to Toussaint Douglass, stiffly awkward and on a different plane from rest of the world. He creates vivid, slightly absurd, images of his life…but it’s skilfully concealed beneath a charming quirkiness. One of the best and most distinctive acts… ” His innovative brand of stand up mixes the personal with the political, whilst adding a uniquely absurdist slant to brilliant comic effect.

Tom Toal

One of comedy’s rising stars he performed his debut show On The Scrapheap about the break-up of his 6 year relationship at the Edinburgh and Leicester Festivals in 2010 achieving widespread acclaim and reviews.

One of Tom’s major strengths is his ability to adapt to his audience. Having hosted a range of events from Post Rock Bands album launch to benefit nights for the Socialist Workers Party, Tom has no trouble changing his style to suit the audience, whether it be Stag/Hen weekends, art centre events or corporate crowds.

Still the greatest and most influential comedy club on the planet
