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 31st July to see…
Eden MW
Part magician, part pirate and part comedian, Eden (They/Them) is a one of a kind performer that promises to leave you impressed, amused and a little confused (in the best possible way). One half of “Foolish Manoeuvres”, and currently working on their new solo show “Misdirection”, Eden’s comedy is a personal and slightly surreal look into Queerness and Neurodivergence, each note punctuated with a magical miracle unlike anything you’ve seen before.
“Hilariously Unbroadcastable” – BBC
“Kept the audience in the palm of their hand in a way that many seasoned comics would envy” – Blizzard Comedy
“LOL!” – KT Tunstall
and Daniel McKeon
Daniel McKeon is an easy-going and self-effacing storyteller based in London. He was a regular feature on the BBC New Comedy Show on BBC Radio Norfolk.
“Slick. Well-written.” – The Stand
“His comic cheekiness is endearing.” – Broadway Baby
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
“The punk older sister everyone needs” – Into the Red
and
Stuart Dunlop
Stuart is a comedian, improviser and writer (order may vary) based in Sheffield, whose experiences in comedy have sent him far and wide, from Berlin to Beverley! He is one third of the Lovecraftian improv game show The Forbidden Playroom and recently made a guest appearance in the fantasy improv show Side Quest.
Stuart is also the creator and writer of the surreal comedy adventure podcast “Kio and Maxi’s Adventures in Everything”, described as “if Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy were conceived by Dr Seuss”, available on Spotify, SoundCloud and Spotify now!
“Clever and well composed, Stuart will have you laughing all the way through his set and then again later” – Yellow Arch Comedy Club
and Quenby Harley
Quenby is a queer creative based in Leeds. Their work explore themes of identity, niche sexuality, and inclusive beauty. They moved away from stand-up after they tragically lost their crippling need for validation from drunk strangers. They still worship at the altar of queer chaos through a combination of art, writing, and random bullshit.
“Quenby’s act is a delightful mix of gleeful punnery and queer focused anecdotes told with inimitable style” – Blizzard Comedy
with guest team captain Eliott Simpson
Eliott Simpson is an eccentric autistic asexual and a critically acclaimed comic, having gigged all across the UK and USA for over 7 years! They’re the host of the Award-Nominated “The Diversity Quota” comedy night, have had multiple sell-out festival shows, were nominated for the “Actually Autistic Excellence Award” in 2022, Scottish Comedian of the Year semi-finalist in 2021, and have performed on shows for both BBC Scotland & BBC Radio!
Within the vast sea of sexy & raunchy comedy, Simpson is the only comic who can give you a coming out story without the cumming! With surreal one-liners and witty wordplay, they’re one of the most unique acts on the circuit!

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)
