Danny McLoughlin
Since his appearance in the 2008 Chortle Student Comedy Award Final, Chester comedian Danny McLoughlin has been making a name for himself across the circuit as a well respected talent and club MC. With performances in the prestigious Big Value Comedy Show during Edinburgh Festival 2009 & 2010, his quick wit and sharp material has seen Danny firmly establish himself as a sought after act on any stand up bill, regularly performing at every major UK comedy club, music festivals including Latitude & Leeds as well as being a regular MC for the coveted lastminute.com Edinburgh Comedy Awards Galas.
Danny has been hand picked to support a number of high profile acts on tour including; Micky Flanagan, Sarah Millican, Doc Brown and Sean Lock.

He debuted his new solo show 01/02 at the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe Festival to packed out rooms and 5 star reviews throughout the month long run.
Tom Lawrinson
Boasting over 269 000 followers on TikTok and Instagram, Tom’s ‘wacky and wonderful humour’ draws people from all over the internet. His debut Edinburgh Fringe show, ‘Hubba Hubba’ was an almost a sold-out run and described as ‘an hour-long tour de force’. Tom was the reserve/runner up on BBC’s New Comedy Awards in 2022 along with the runner up for NextUp’s Biggest Award in Comedy for Best Show.
Liam Farrelly
Liam Farrelly is a 21-year-old up-and-coming Scottish comedian from Paisley, who started performing stand-up aged 17 whilst still in High School and who immediately went into comedy full-time after graduating.
A meteoric rise through the ranks has seen him nominated for and winning a raft of awards, have a guest acting role on BBC Scotland’s Scot Squad (S4E2, 2018) and perform at the UK’s best and most prestigious comedy clubs, including Scotland’s The Stand, Monkey Barrel, Liverpool’s Hot Water Comedy Club and both the London and Manchester Comedy Stores—all barely a year after first setting foot on a stage.
Liam’s stand-up is story-based and his material is uniquely personal—you could say his unusual family have provided him with a goldmine, as his sister and an aunt are both nuns, he has a wheelchair bound parent with MS who has a wicked sense of self-deprecating humour, and other close relations are in various degrees of deterioration.
