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 6th June to see…
Ishi Khan
Multi-award nominee, Ishi Khan has been making people laugh since her birth. She came out crying, to everyone else’s laughter. Her comedy cv began in 2008 when she started hosting her own 2 Funny Comedy events. She has been performing regularly on the comedy circuit ever since.
Ishi responds to current affairs through themes of unity, freedom & equality while exploring identity and belonging.
Ishi is a sentient being born to tickle, play and sing to the moon. Skipping along on the comedic yellow brick road, dancing through rain, sun and fairy dust, distracted by rainbows and shooting stars, she’s a unicorn rider. One day she hopes to do a cartwheel and ride a bike, not at the same time. She speaks English, Punjabi and fluent Cat.

with team captain Katie Mitchell
A rising star of the Midlands comedy circuit, Katie Mitchell’s comedy is alternative yet pervasive. She revels in a mainstream stand-up environment, as well as more specific events like cabaret, burlesque, and music festivals.

Ela Bambust
Ela is a full time author, part time that annoying friend who really wants to tell you about that new recipe she’s learned to make, all time gender goblin. She has written 20 novels and novellas since the start of the pandemic and, like a shark, if she stops she will die instantly.
“Not a comedian but her mom thinks she’s doing great.”

with team captain Kirstie Summers
Kirstie Summers is the administrative force behind Manchester’s multi-award-nominated safe space stand up show, Blizzard Comedy. She is now a regular team captain on their monthly livestreamed panel show, Broadcast Avalanche, known for breaking character, straying wildly off topic and bursting into unhinged rants.
“Too attractive” – Chris

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)
