JAMES ACASTER
After a couple of years of juggling stand up comedy with various experimental pop bands James has recently turned his focus to telling people about funny things in an enthusiastic manner as much as possible. Like a true artist his comedy is very personal, frequently confessional and at times a little bit weird. Currently living in Kettering but can travel anywhere through the miracle of trains.
IMRAN YUSUF
"Imran Yusuf hits the stage with incredible energy and purpose. His riffs are hilarious and his choice of targets is evidence that he’s a comic that has something to say."
Mark Breslin, CEO of Yuk Yuk’s International Stand-Up Comedy, Canada
“Imran is something I’ve never ever seen before… he almost rapped his gig… it had the rhythm of a rap. I’ve never ever, ever seen anyone’s delivery like that.”
Adam Bloom, BBC Radio 7
JOSIE LONG
In 1999, Josie Long won the BBC New Comedy Award at the age of just 17 - making her too young for the champagne that came as part of the prize. Despite the boost the award would have given to her comedy career, she took time off performing to complete her English degree at Oxford university, returning in 2003.
Following the break, she was named best newcomer in the Chortle awards in 2005, and best breakthrough act the following year. In 2006, she also scooped best newcomer in the if.comeddie awards for her solo Edinburgh debut, Kindness and Exuberance
