Matt Richardson
The stand-up star is a multi-award-winning comic and a firm favourite on the comedy circuit. During his teenage years, Matt made it through to the finals of the new act competition, So You Think You’re Funny and the Chortle Student Comedy Award. He was also crowned the winner of the Newbury and Bath Comedy Festival, before becoming a seasoned performer at the UK’s top comedy clubs.
Matt used his comedic chops to land high profile TV presenting roles on shows such as The Xtra Factor, The Hangover Games and the Red Bull Soapbox Race, to name a few. Matt – who is a National Autistic Society ambassador alongside his autistic brother Alex - has been instrumental in creating a star-studded line-up for The Matt & Co Comedy show, to raise funds for the National Autistic Society.
Rhod Gilbert
Welsh sensation Rhod Gilbert is one of the UK’s leading comedy talents. He has enjoyed many successful years as a star of television and radio and continues to uphold his esteemed reputation as a seasoned host, prolific writer and first-class live performer.
Rosie Jones
The must-see comedian, actor and writer who hails from Yorkshire was a television researcher before she decided to shift gears and perform stand-up on stage. Rosie often incorporates her authentic experience of being disabled into her comedy shows. Likewise, she’s shared entertaining personal stories and showcased her comedic wit on TV shows such as The Jonathan Ross Show, 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Last Leg, Live at the Apollo, among many others.
Joe Wells
The Portsmouth star was thrust onto the world’s stage when a stand-up clip of him discussing his non-autistic brother, garnered over 1.3 million views. Subsequently, Joe went on to support Frankie Boyle, Alexei Sayle and Stephen K Amos on stage. He also launched his own podcast called Neurodivergent Moments, with co-host Abigoliah Schamaun, as they continue to sit down with neurodiverse guests on different episodes to discuss their life experiences.
Milton Jones
Previous British Comedy Award nominee Milton Jones has appeared numerous times on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo and has headlined Dave’s One Night Stand. In previous years Milton completed his successful stand-up tours Temple of Daft and On the Road and is soon to be starting his latest stand-up tour called Milton Jones is Out There. His hilarious and honest touches to his shows make him a stand-out comedian and one not to miss.
Cally Beaton
After joining US studio giant ViacomCBS as Senior Vice President, Cally Beaton was introduced to the world of comedy. Overseeing budgets for Comedy Central gave Beaton the opportunity to speak with the late, great Joan Rivers which sparked her interest in comedic performance.
She first took to the stage as a 45-year-old single parent and soon after became regarded as one of the most unique and exciting new stand-up comedians in the UK. Following on from this, Beaton has appeared on TV shows including The Apprentice: You’re Fired, QI, Live at the Apollo and Pointless Celebrities.
Josh Jones
The upcoming, comedic star Josh Jones is said to be, in recent years, the most original comedian from the North-West. Debuting on 8 Out of 10 Cats put Josh into the comedic limelight and he went on to appear on many popular TV shows, including The Jonathon Ross Show. More recently, in 2022, at Dave’s Edinburgh Comedy Awards, Josh was nominated for Best Newcomer for his hilarious, sell-out stand-up show Waste of Space.
