Bios
Esther Manito launched her comedy career in 2016 while on maternity leave, quickly gaining traction after appearing on the BBC Radio 4 New Comedy Awards and reaching the So You Think You're Funny final. She has since become a familiar face on television, featuring across multiple series of ITV's Stand Up Sketch Show, performing on Live at the Apollo, and appearing on programmes such as Hypothetical, Comedy Central Live, and Celebrity Pointless. Her voice is regularly heard on BBC Radio 4 shows including News Quiz, Mark Watson Questions Everything, and Frank Skinner's Someone Found This Helpful, as well as BBC Scotland's Breaking The News.

Mike Cox began comedy in 2011 and quickly made his mark on the scene with his cynicism and razor sharp wit - he was the Winner of Not So New Comedian of the Year 2022 and South Coast Comedian of the year 2014.

Alex Kitson is a multi-award-winning stand-up comedian, performer and writer. Nominated for the Best of Brighton Fringe Comedy Award in 2023 and a finalist for Bath New Act of the Year.

Andrew White is a stand-up fast rising through the comedy ranks - he recently bagged 3rd Place in British Comedian of the Year 2022, just behind TV favourite Larry Dean. As well as festival stages, fringes, and corporate events, he regularly works for top UK clubs and promoters like Komedia, Avalon, Off the Kerb, The Boat Show, Forge Comedy Club, and Glee and a writer for Mock the Week & Comedy Central.
