Host Comedian - Tony Simpson

Tony is full of energy and improvisation a strong compere who can interact with any kind of audience.

Finding fun, energy and positivity in life provide a platform for his comedy and loves nothing more than taking the audience by the hand and dragging them along.

Tony has written and performed in two sell out Comedy Festival Shows on matters such as being ‘Cheeky’ and why we all need a bit of ‘cheekiness’ in our life’s and a show all about adrenaline called ‘Adrenaline Junkie’ in which Tony tells the tale of a year in his life of competing in the British Rally Championships and also performing stand up gigs as he travelled around. He also touches on why we all need a bit of adrenaline in our life’s!

His love of life and failings to find love are subjects which he will touch on. But not how you would normally expect, his ideas of how people can find love with have you laughing and cringing.



Opening Comedian – John Scott



"Among the top five comics emerging from Scotland today." The Observer

John has a disarming and friendly persona that chucks buckets of charm across the stage. With this, John’s material merges everyday story-telling, mixed alongside accurate observations, with a cunning ability to fire out several quick fire one liners before the audience knows what's hit them. His subject matters cover everything from middle class dinner parties, Braveheart and on to observations on life in northern England.



Headline Comedian – Junior Simpson



Big Brother’s Big Mouth (C4), Armstrong & Miller Show (C4), Casualty (BBC), The Comic Side of Seven Days (BBC), Love Actually (Film – DJ Role)

With his infectious energy and huge stage presence it is easy to see why Junior Simpson is a circuit favourite. Simpson has a boundless joy and exuberance that has audiences hooked with hilarity. A true observational comic Simpson finds his humour in the everyday and humdrum with anecdotes of his world travels as a comedian adding a personal originality to his set. Although mischievous and daring, Simpson is never crass or crude and can tailor his set to suit any audience making him a favourite for warm up, TV and corporate work. Junior is a regular headliner at clubs all over the UK and is also in great demand internationally performing as far afield as South Africa and Australia
