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 Jonny 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.

“knocks-off grade-A punchlines with a shrug, basking in a superlative gag rate” ★★★★ The List

Tal Davies

Tal Davies is a comedian, writer and self-proclaimed scumbag who blends toe-curling anecdotes with dry observational humour, delivered with a warm, likeable stage presence and a deadpan Brummie accent.

A BBC New Comedy Award regional finalist, Funny Women finalist, and British Comedian of the Year finalist, Tal was also crowned Breakthrough Act at the Midlands Comedy Awards and supported the likes of Milton Jones, Paul Chowdhry and Josh Pugh on tour. She was described by Chortle as "A natural storyteller... with an innately affable, easy-going delivery”, and is a BBC Writers room alumni and credited screenwriter for BBC’s The Break.

‘Tal has a great stage presence, coupled with killer lines and an endearing personality which audiences absolutely love. A brilliant performer who is destined for great things’ Scott Bennett

Jon Wagstaffe

A simple country lad from Tewkesbury, Jon burst onto the scene and has propelled himself quickly into being a well-known act and brilliant compere. His mix of high energy and clever writing make audiences warm to him instantly.

His take on modern life will have any audience in fits of laughter.
