Line Up so far...
Mark Allen
Mark has been performing comedy for over five years, encouraging audiences to see the world through his eyes using his own special brand of logic. Although he is based in London where he performs most of his gigs, Mark has travelled all over the shop in the name of comedy - Great Yarmouth, Ludlow, Exeter, York, Glasgow, Nottingham, Manchester, Washington DC and Narnia, though he concedes that the latter may have been a dream. He still stormed it though, despite some aggressive heckling from a group of pissed-up fauns.

Her material is imaginative, askew and always surprising and her delightfully mischievous interactions with the audience make her an ideal compere.

Si Holland
