He's here, he's queer, he... can't remember what he came in for. Alasdair Wallace would love to tell you about his day if he can do it without getting distracted. Award nominated! Mums love him!

Sophie Litherland

Sophie is a Bristol based queer comedian, scientist, and breakfast enthusiast who performs all over the South-West. Having performed in clubs all over, she really found her comedy groove once she gave up masculinity for good.

Morgan Rees

This softly spoken Welsh comedian boasts a densely packed arsenal of impressive one-liners and hilarious short stories. Morgan has appeared on BBC Radio 4 in the prestigious finals of the BBC New Comedy Award. He was also a runner-up in So You Think You’re Funny 2017, and a finalist in Chortle Student Comedy Award. Following a sold-out 2024 tour, Morgan will be back on the road with a hugely anticipated brand-new show, What a Bummer!, this autumn.
