With Paul Sinha, Nick Elleray, Fiona Ridgewell and hosted by Matt Price!

‌‌Headlining the show is the one and only Paul Sinha! A trained medical doctor who is perhaps best known as the Sinnerman on the hugely popular ITV quiz show ‘The Chase’, Paul has played every major comedy club in the UK, performed in eighteen other countries across the globe, and been three times nominated for Best Club Comedian at the Chortle Awards, winning in 2014.

Paul has taken eight solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe. His 2017 show Shout Out To My Ex had a sellout run and toured nationally, with 2018’s The Two Ages Of Man following suit. On Radio 4, Paul has appeared several times on venerable favourites Just A Minute, The Now Show, and The News Quiz; and has carved out a career in factual comedy — making programmes on cricket, the 2012 Olympics, the Magna Carta, and UK citizenship.

Opening the show is Nick Elleray! Originally from Australia, Nick, known for his wickedly dry humour and wry persona, has been bringing the mellow thunder to the UK comedy circuit since 2011.

Nick was a finalist in the NATY new talent competition, Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year Award and the Up The Creek One To Watch Competition among others.

With award-winning comic Fiona Ridgewell! Nominee for the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2024 and winner of the Edinburgh-ish comedy award for best debut show from a pool of 670 comedy shows at the Edinburgh Fringe 2023. Fiona was nominated for the best debut show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2020 and a Funny Women 2020 finalist.

Hosted by Matt Price!

With Nabil Abdulrashid, Josh Baulf, Jin Hao Li and hosted by Russell Arathoon!

Headlining the show is award-winning comedian and writer, Nabil Abdulrashid! Nabil’s TV career is flourishing, with appearances on shows including: twice appearing on QI (BBC), two appearances on Live at the Apollo (BBC) – once as host, Celebrity Masterchef (BBC), Have I Got News for You (BBC), 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4), The Last Leg (Channel 4), House of Games (BBC) and The Big Narstie Show (Channel 4). Nabil is soon to appear in the upcoming Dave show Battle In A Box. A practising Muslim, Nabil was also a ‘pilgrim’ on BBC Two’s faith-based show Pilgrimage. Nabil has also appeared on top podcasts including Off Menu with James Acaster and Ed Gamble and Hoovering with Jessica Fosteskew.

Nabil has come a long way since being a finalist and Alesha Dixon’s golden buzzer on Britain’s Got Talent in 2020, receiving the most complaints of any contestant. He is an acclaimed stand up who has performed comedy all over the UK, and across the world and is recognised for his “sardonic intelligence and sharp eye for the absurdities of racial discourse” (The Guardian).

Nabil is currently touring his latest Edinburgh Fringe debut show, The Purple Pill, a show about trying to be a good person while staying a badman and an exploration of empathy, morality and political contradiction.

In his last tour show, entitled N.A.B.I.L (Nobody Actually Believed I’d Last), he shared hilarious stories about his experiences of the school system in Nigeria, his return to England, how he spent a short time in prison and started performing comedy upon his release. The show was declared “moving and captivating as well as split-your-sides funny” (Evening Standard) and Nabil praised for his “genuine humanity… an easy comic to like even before he holds you rapt with his various misadventures” (Chortle).

Opening the show is Josh Baulf, the sensational British comedian making waves! King Gong victor at The Comedy Store, finalist in the BBC New Comedy Award and Amused Moose New Comedy Award in record time. Crowned Get Up Stand Up 2019 Winner, Leicester Square New Comedian 2020 Runner Up, and acclaimed for his online sketches raking in millions of global views. From Britain’s Got Talent and the BBC to sharing laughter at the London Palladium, Josh’s star is rising high. As David Walliams says, “A very funny man with a huge future,” and Chortle notes his likeness to Micky Flanagan and Russell Howard.

With Jin Hao Li! Made in China and marinated in Singapore, Jin Hao is an excellent writer and performer. Loved and feared for his dry wit, gritty softness, and surreal energy, he quickly became a Chortle Student Finalist, BBC New Comedy Awards Finalist, and was accepted into the Pleasance Comedy Reserve. This August, he’s taking his debut hour ‘Swimming in a Submarine’ to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

CULTURE WARS, THE ENVIRONMENT, BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY and SOCIAL JUSTICE: these are just a few of the topics that Jack spectacularly fails to address (or even mention for that matter) in his brand new show. Instead, for reasons known only to him, he doubles down on his fascination with the meaningless small things of life like Zoom protocol, what’s new in the world of radiators and the worst careers advice office in the world.

Join Jack as he guides you through his varied life and career with his customary charm and well known gift for talking absolute rubbish on any given subject.
