GAVIN WEBSTER
2014 Comedian's Comedian of the Year winner
Gavin Webster has been on the rise. He’s been on the rise for over twenty years. After making his modest debut in a pub in Gateshead in February 1993 he's done about three thousand gigs from Aberdeen to Abu Dhabi, Manchester to Melbourne and Hartlepool to Hong Kong.

Gavin Webster's shows are high octane, close to the bone and quick fire, with many gag to the minute routines, peppered with sardonic songs that are finished by the time you decide you need to complain about them. Black humour, observations and moronic jokes complete the unique and stand-alone experience of seeing this greatly original, angry comedian.

Very much the last ever punk rocker, people that take to Gavin Webster are fans for life and stay loyal to him throughout. His unique style has brought him praise and attention from throughout the national media, as well as many roles on TV and radio, including an appearance on Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

“Palpably funny” - ★★★★★ - Herald

“His daftness is little short of surreal genius” - The Stage

LLOYD GRIFFITH
Since starting comedy in 2009, Lloyd has quickly established himself as one of the most natural, brightest and original comedians on the circuit. In 2011 he was selected to perform as part of the prestigious Edinburgh package show, Big Value Comedy Showcase. A year later in 2012 he performed as part of the sell out package show AAA Stand-up Late in the Pleasance Courtyard and in 2013 supported Rob Beckett on his sell-out UK tour, before performing his debut Edinburgh Fringe show in 2014.

Grimsby-born Lloyd now regularly performs at some of the largest clubs in the UK, including Just the Tonic, Off The Kerb, Highlight, BBC Comedy Presents, Amused Moose and many others, and is resident MC at a number of comedy clubs in London and the south of England.

Lloyd is also a huge football fan and has written, produced and starred in a number of viral football videos. The most recent one for FIFA 16 (EA Sports) has been viewed over 1.7 million times and was broadcast on Sky Sports five times over a period of a week. He then was a guest on Soccer AM in January 2016, talking about his love of football and how he is mates with Lionel Messi.

“It’s clear from outset the Lloyd Griffith has star quality. His stories are told with a certain brand of self-deprecating confidence that mean you can’t help but laugh out loud along with him. Intensely likeable, Griffith has a twinkle in his eye and the best baritone I’ve ever heard” - Three Weeks

“Inherently funny... very neat lines in his comic repertoire” - Chortle

“Griffith in particular was absolutely outstanding” - Broadway Baby

MIKE MILLIGAN
Having earned his keep as a teacher in Newcastle, Mike Milligan knows a thing or two about ‘audience interaction’, and he majors on it. However this Geordie quickly found classrooms weren’t the best place to share his sharp, witty banter!

Now firmly established as a top stand-up comedian, Mike’s teaching days are on summer vacation indefinitely. In place is a wealth of gigs on the national and international comedy circuit; including both compering and headlining shows for The Comedy Club, the Comedy Store and Jongleurs' clubs and countless more.

Born and Bred in Newcastle, Mike got to fulfil every Geordie boy's dream when he got to play the part of north-east cult hero Sid The Sexist, providing the voice in Viz comic's highly successful video and then performing the iconic sketch live in concert at his spiritual home of Newcastle City Hall.

“Snappy, sharp and packed full of belly laughs... stole the show” - Edinburgh Evening News

“A name to watch out for” - Daily Telegraph

“He has one of the quickest comedy brains on the circuit, so any potential hecklers should be warned - be good or be bettered” - Evening Gazette
