COLIN OWENS (COMPERE)

Your host Mr Colin Owens! He's been gigging across the UK comedy circuit since 2005, known for his dry delivery, laid-back style, and razor-sharp crowd work. Colin’s the glue that holds the night together, setting the tone, warming up the room, and making sure no one gets too comfy in the front row.

He first made waves after winning the Jimmy Carr Comedy Idol Competition, going on to support Carr at Bloomsbury Theatre and perform alongside comics like Frank Skinner, Tim Vine, and Michael McIntyre.
