Another month goes by and another decade’s worth of news is crammed into a few short weeks, so here we are with another fantastic line-up of comedians to tear it apart.
Catch us on Twitch on Monday 24th April to see…
Laura Monmoth
Laura Monmoth, Award-winning comedian. Player of bad games. Occasional speedrunner. Quiz host. Nostalgia-fuelled idiot. Creator of the cursed. Also, puppets and a cat named Clive, is a Multimedia marvel. Mixing slide projections, animations and channelling the energy of comedy greats to deliver first class comedy on everything from retro gaming to gender issues. Expect references to 90s pop culture, karaoke, on, and probably puppets. Niche enough for Gen X’ers that remember their childhood, and accessible enough for those who just want to laugh.

with team captain Bobbie Jones
A combination of Dad jokes and Daddy issues, Bobbie-Ann Jones is one of the funniest prediabetic queers ever to come from Walsall. She was the first female Head Writer for the Birmingham Footnotes Comedy Society from 2015-2016. Bobbie has gigged throughout the UK and she is a well-known face on the north-west comedy circuit- she hosted Lolshevism Comedy Club in Leeds from 2018 until 2020. She is currently a Team Captain on Blizzard Comedy’s Broadcast Avalanche. As of April 2022, Bobbie is also a Quantum Leopard Comedy Competition winner.

Jake Donaldson
Fresh from his first UK tour, Jake is one of the most exciting up-and-coming comics in the country. Critically acclaimed (“Must See New Act” Huffington Post) and award nominated (Neurodiverse Review Visually Impaired Excellence Award) Jake is one to watch!
“One of the Must-See New Acts at The Edinburgh Fringe” – Huffington Post
“I admire his hutzpah…go see Jake Donaldson” – Matthew Crosby (Pappy’s, Radio X, The Last Leg)
“Full of heart…top class anecdotal comedy…will have you roaring with laughter.” – Blizzard Comedy
“A solid show from someone with the potential to go far.” – DarkChat
“Refreshingly diverse material” – Britevents.com
“One of the best comedy show titles at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe” – British Comedy Guide
and Nathan Virica
Manchester-based. Probably the second most famous comedian from Harrogate behind Maisie Adam. Admittedly, he can’t think of any others off the top of my head.
Formerly a musician of 15 years. Then he hit 30, realised he couldn’t be arsed anymore & decided to do comedy instead.
The comedy equivalent of Elvis Presley’s last bowel movement; morbid, horrible, difficult to sit through, darkly hilarious and performed by a great artist.
“Comedy with a cutting political edge that hits its targets.” – Simeon Word (Lancashire Post)
“Hilarious. A natural talent in high demand.” – Kevin O’Brien (Gold at the Bijou Cinema)
“Darkly hilarious.” – Blizzard Comedy
“This man, he is really good. Brilliant.” – Chris Giles
with team captain Amarpal Singh
Amarpal had the fortune and misfortune of being brought up in Bradford by working class parents but falling into the bland trapdoor of middle aged and middle class monotony. Now as he hits his third quarter-life crisis, his stand up goes back to reflect on the bizarre contrast growing up and how it still effects him today: from school yard racism to bringing up a mixed race child, the show is a tender love letter to his family, his home town and the mental health issues that they both helped create.
“Amarpal is a comedy star in the making, and I can’t wait to see where his career takes him next.” – Blizzard Comedy
with host Jonny Collins
Jonny Collins is an aggressively inclusive Non-Binary comedian, Jonny pulls no punches yet makes everyone feel welcome and represented in their thought provoking, and well constructed deconstructions of gender, sexuality and politics. With radical leftist ideals and a fast and furious delivery style, Jonny Collins is a favourite of socialist, anarchists, feminists (of the trans inclusive variety), and queer activists alike.
“Jonny is a force of nature on stage. A whirlwind of hilarity with a unique viewpoint, they energy and passion personified.” – XS Malarkey
“Jonny Collins is deceptively rapid-fire, with a gag rate that would shame most one-line merchants. They can bring a simmer to a boil with ease, and make a huge mess of your kitchen.” – James Ross (Quantum Leopard)
