Ryan McDonnell
Belfast boy Ryan McDonnell is no stranger to laughs in his home town and is currently building up quite a reputation for himself on the UK comedy circuit. Keeping his comedy roots very staunchly embedded in his Northern Ireland upbringing, he interjects a sharp wit and Irish charm in his observation of everyday life. Sometimes bizarre, often dark he'll guide you on a unique journey through the world as he sees it. With regular gigs in London and Ireland Ryan is also in hot demand for his compering skills. As the regular host of his own show, Stand Up and Coming in Tufnell Park he gained a Time Out Magazine recommendation after only 5 shows. Other notable events have included Bloom Festival On Tour at Camden's Koko in front of over a thousand people. Constantly refining his art, Ryan is definitely one comedian you should not miss.
MCs:
Alexis Dubus
Originally from Lee Common, a small village nestled in between some hills, Alexis began stand up comedy in 2001. Since then he has moved to London, brushed off the hay, and performed at venues across the UK, as well as France, Spain and the USA. His high-energy performances, combined with a cheeky wit and deft comic timing, have proved a hit at intimate venues and larger venues alike.
