Michael Fabbri is a comedy veteran, having delighted audiences for over 20 years.

Maureen Langan is an internationally acclaimed standup comedian, broadcaster, and event host/speaker. Her intelligent and hysterical rants on life’s absurdities charm audiences globally. Semi-finalist on America’s Got Talent, Simon Cowell calls Maureen ‘so fearless, so funny!’.

15 MAY
Headliner | Gerry K
Opener | Tom Deacon
Middle | Stephanie Laing
-
Gerry K started comedy as a result of a dare but quickly rose to be a headline act. Anecdotal, observational and high energy, Gerry is a truly feelgood act.
Tom Deacon is a comedian and host of his own TV, radio and online shows. He has made guest appearances on BBC2’s The Rob Brydon Show, Dave’s One Night Stand and ITV2’s Fake Reaction, and has hosted The Capital FM breakfast show. Tom is currently the host of F1 Esports Pro Series, and his Gfinity Esports shows and YouTube football channel Copa90 have notched up over 8 million views.
Stephanie Laing is best described as goofy and peculiar, and her comedy is partway between the needy oddness of Maria Bamford and the upbeat affability of Josie Long. Her material is a mix of silliness, filth and unusual observations, underpinned by a disarming honesty which makes her seem charmingly vulnerable.
