Do note that lines ups are subject to change
Joe Sutherland is a comedian and Greggs brand ambassador.
Stand-up, acting, writing, influencing, there is nothing he won’t think about doing and maybe even get around to.
He performs all over the UK and internationally, sometimes on the internet and sometimes on the television (nature’s internet).
Recent appearances include Dave’s Hypothetical and the BBC’s Eastenders. Yes, really.
‘Takes to the stage like an old pro, oozing star power from every pore. He combines borderline offensive self-confidence and biting punchlines with an openness that leaves the audience totally tamed.’ The Mirror
‘As sharp as his cheekbones and as splendidly turned-out as his attire, the gags fly thick and fast … Surely this is a star in the making.’ The List
‘Drooling cynicism, punchy jokes and shrewd sarcasm. I think I've found my new favourite comedian.’ Voice Mag
Kate Martin is ‘brilliantly funny & energetic’ (Angela Barnes) and her ‘confident delivery and slick material’ (Chortle) have quickly established her as one of the most exciting new acts on the circuit. At 6ft 1 and with the longest wingspan in comedy (*probably), Kate’s a naturally engaging, energetic performer with effortlessly tight gags to match. Her unique background in mental health has given her a fresh take on the world, a completely distinctive voice, and fuels her high energy storytelling, whip-smart punchlines and razor-sharp observations of life's quirks through queer eyes.
Kate was a finalist of the Funny Women Stage Awards 2022, runner-up in the finals of the WDCF New Comedian of the Year competition 2021, and in 2021 won the Comedy Store’s King Gong, Up the Creeks Blackout, and the Frog and Bucket’s Beat the Frog.
‘Bulletproof’ Chortle
'Undeniably gifted. Explosive new talent, definitely an act that you will be bragging about seeing early in her career.' NDC
Robyn Perkins
Hailing from the States, Robyn is based in the UK and performs internationally. Robyn tackles some of life’s biggest and topics on stage through hilarious real-life anecdotes.
‘Smart, engaging, fun and funny.’ ★★★★ Chortle (Mating Selection)
‘Hilariously unapologetic, mixes science with the trivia of life, offering a unique twist on your average stand-up.’ ★★★★ EdFest Magazine
‘A golden performer whose charisma alone on stage is refreshing.’ ★★★★ Voice Magazine
"Sharp, insightful, touching, but above all really, really funny." ★★★★ Three Weeks
Mark Cram is quite the all-rounder; with both a killer set and strong MCing chops. For the last few years Mark has been plying his comedy trade across the UK. Constantly evolving, usually unpredictable; he is garnering positive reactions everywhere he goes.
Mark thrills crowds with his tales of dead-end jobs, his family and being the less than grateful winner of Bedford Comedian of the Year.
