FROM AUSTRALIA:
JACQUES BARRATT
After 9 years on the Australian club and festival circuit, Jacques has become a bona-fide headliner, known for his ability to adapt to the crowd and throw consistently sharp, relentless comedy blows. He's spent the last 18 months honing his stagecraft on the world stage with a tour stopping off in South East Asia, South Africa, Romania, Prague, Switzerland, Croatia, Estonia, Helsinki, Sweden and 12 months on the tough UK comedy circuit.

AND FROM CANADA. . .
BOBBY MAIR
Bobby is Canada's weirdest export. Since moving to the U.K. he
won the 2012 Laughing Horse New Act of The Year, and has opened for Jerry Sadowtiz and Doug Stanhope on tour.
"Mair exudes a kind of effortless awkwardness that has served some of
stand-up’s greats so well down the years, and yet brings to it
something fresh and downright disturbing. A bright, dark future surely awaits." The Stage
NICK BEATON
Whether it’s done through his opinionated rants, hard hitting jokes, or his disarming "every man" personality Nick Beaton is a favorite wherever he performs. He has performed on 3 continents, 6 countries, and over 40 cities. His recent Edinburgh show received glowing five star reviews, from both “Broadway Baby” and “Three Weeks,” the latter of which described him as having, “enviable confidence, timing, and manner of a comedian with decades of experience beyond his years.” He has performed at Montreal’s International Just for laughs comedy festival, and has received numerous accolades for his comedy.
