ROB BECKETT
Rob started performing stand-up in 2009 and quickly enjoyed success in all of the new comedian competitions winning 4 competitions in his first year. Consistently impressive performances in these competitions, culminated in Rob finishing as a runner up in So You Think You’re Funny and winning the Amused Moose Laugh Off at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2010 which earned him an invite to perform at Comedy festivals in Australia. South East London born Rob is now regularly gigging at some of the best comedy clubs in the UK. His unique observations, unusual take on life and tales of growing up in a large south London family continue to win over audiences all over the country.
‘alluring mix of well-made observations, imaginative metaphors and stylish whip-sharp writing’ – Steve Bennett -Chortle
‘a very funny young man, very funny’ – Stephen K Amos
‘a likeable high tempo comic’ – The Guardian
‘fast, innovative, polished,’ – Three Weeks
PAUL SWEENEY
“Paul Sweeney swishes about the stage like a surreal tea caddy, liberally tickling our funny bones with his marvellous, unusual, quercine humours” – Paul Foot
“Brilliant, bubbly personality, bursting with talent. Showing a more varied style of humour. The mix of music and comedy one of the highlights of the free fringe.” – Funny, Free, Fringe

LINUS LEE
Emerging London stand up Linus Lee delivers thoughtfully twisted filth and depravity, wrapped in a sly and self-deprecating delivery. Raised in Australia by Swedish and Korean parents, Linus is also an amalgam of global influences. He has performed at many of London’s top comedy clubs including the Comedy Store, Jongleurs, Up the Creek and the Comedy Café, as well as many other top clubs around the UK, Australia and Scandinavia.
“…a rather odd mix of the childish and the horrific… with a smart agenda…” – Chortle.co.uk
“The filthier he gets, the more the crowds love him! Definitely one to watch.” – Up The Creek
“Linus was storming…” – Oi Oi Comedy
CARA CUMMINGS
Combining killer off-kilter observation, punchy quips and stories about the cool-destroying horrors of growing up normal, Cara’s act has been described as ‘wickedly charming’ and ‘a breath of fresh air’. Her resemblance to Justin Beiber may or may not have also been mentioned. Cara performs regularly across the capital, and beyond, and compere’s new talent cabaret night Cheese and Crackers at the awarding-winning Battersea Barge. She is also MC at Comedy Bin’s latest venue, Question Mark Bar.
‘Smart, beautiful, but above all exceptionally funny’ – Laughter Lung
‘Fantastic new talent… We think Cara is set for big things over the next few years. Nuff said.‘ – We Love Comedy
‘A laid back and likeable newcomer, sure to make an impression on the circuit’ – Funny Women
‘This self-depreciating specialist will always make you feel better… Also, she looks worryingly good with a moustache.’ Diva
All lovingly held together by your lecherous jester of an MC…
JEFF LEACH
Jeff Leach (star of Big Brother’s Big Mouth / BBC Switch / Virgin Media On Demand / Current TV) comperes the night in a no-holds-barred fashion. Warm, self-deprecating and immensely talented as an improvisation heavy MC he will keep you in stitches throughout!
