versus
Nathan Tommis
Nathan’s stand up primarily focuses on how weird the rest of the world is for not agreeing with him. He performs only when his anxiety permits him, and when he does so he has been described as “a bit like watching a very witty Tigger”. He even hit the heights of “actually funny” from his own wife.
and Kyle Bedder
Weird and wacky, and slightly disturbed. A surreal take on sex, family, and life in general.
“A slightly surreal original thinker with an intense delivery.”
with guest team captain Tom Short
Experimental comedian, improvised clown.
“The fringe’s lowkey Keyser Soze” – British Comedy Guide
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)
