As daft as it is deft, Tom Taylor’s highly individual musical comedy is a surefire winner in front of any crowd. During the dark days of lock down, Tom collaborated with David Walliams, Mel Giedroyc, Graham Norton, Clare Balding and even Cliff Richard to create The Isolation Song Contest. Not only did this earn a very tidy sum for some very good causes but won Tom a Chortle Award into the bargain! When not performing stand up Tom writes and performs one man murder mystery plays.

“Wave after wave of funny” The Scotsman “Gloriously silly” The Stage “Excellent … beautifully daft” Sunday Times

London Comedy Store regular, Roger Monkhouse`s trademark stage-prowling style and curious, inimitable manner have established him as one of the hottest names on the comedy circuit. Supremely confident, with audience banter down to an art form, Roger is happy to improvise freely but has no shortage of first class material in his armoury. A master of observational comedy with a routine that is universally and unfailingly hysterical.
