Price: £5 on the door or £4 in advance



JOHN HASTINGS



When Canadian John moved to London in 2012, he was featured on BBC Radio 4 and BBC.com as a comedy correspondent. In 2013 he was selected to appear in the Pleasance Comedy Reserve Showcase, following in the path of comedians Jack Whitehall, Holly Walsh and Joe Lycett, before bringing his own solo show Adventure to the Fringe last year. John was the winner of the 2012 COCA Comedian of the Year Award and has recently emerged as one of the stars of Seann Walsh's Late Night Comedy Spectacular on BBC Three.



Having performed all over the world John has also found himself nominated for Martin Sims Award for Best Comedy Show at the Perth Fringe World Festival and is fresh off performing at the 2015 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Kiri Pritchard McLean



Welsh Comedian Kiri Pritchard-Mclean has been making something of a name for herself in the short time she's being performing stand up comedy and has achieved further success as one fourth of multi-award winning sketch group Gein's Family Giftshop (in capacity as writer/director).



A unique and assured comic voice Kiri is whip smart with material to match, an apprenticeship on the North West comedy scene equips Kiri with a presence beyond her years and the rare ability to be challenging in her material without alienating her audience.
