Headline act - Daniel Foxx

Daniel is an award-winning comedian and writer from London. His easy-going delivery and sharp jokes have quickly established him as one of the most exciting new acts on the UK comedy circuit, whilst his comedy sketch videos have earned him a huge online following and millions of views. On screen, Daniel has performed on BBC One and BBC Three as part of the BBC New Comedy Awards.

On stage, he has endeared himself to audiences around the UK, provided tour support for Josh Widdicombe and Sofie Hagen, and garnered a host of accolades including a Writers’ Guild Award nomination, Winner of the Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence, and Finalist in the Chortle Student Comedy Awards. Whether it’s growing up gay, pop culture or politics, Daniel uses a light touch and a quick wit to find humour in unexpected places.

As well as stand-up, Daniel also writes plays, screenplays, and musical theatre. He is co-writer of Fat Rascal Theatre with frequent collaborator, Robyn Grant. Their most recent projects include Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch, one of Underbelly Festival’s 2022 Headline Shows, which was previously a sell-out hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2019 and was named Theatre Weekly’s Best Musical of the Fringe. Unfortunate earned Foxx and Grant a nomination for Best Musical Theatre Book Writing at the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Awards 2020.

Abi Clarke

Abi Clarke is a stand-up comedian and presenter from Bristol who took to the internet in 2020 due to lockdown and achieved remarkable success. In her first year online, she amassed over a million followers across Instagram and TikTok, and now boasts a large following of 367k followers on Instagram, 893k followers on TikTok and 590k subscribers on YouTube. Abi was named as one of the eleven comedy stars of the internet by The Independent, and has had her viral sketches shared by the likes of E! News, Buzzfeed, LadBible, Good Morning Britain, and BBC One.

First and foremost a stand-up, Abi has made swift progress on the circuit. 2022 saw Abi selected for the prestigious Comedy Reserve showcase at the Edinburgh Fringe, and she now performs at some of the UK’s most prestigious comedy clubs, as well as supporting Russell Kane on tour.

Abi recently hosted the hugely popular It’s… Wagatha Christie podcast for BBC 5Live/Sounds. She subsequently hosted the youth-focused podcast Pinned for BBC Sounds, and Eurovision Described for BBC Radio 2.

MC - President Obonjo

President Obonjo of the Lafta Republic rose to power in a coup 11 years ago and has been slaying audiences across Great Britain ever since.

The President’s solo shows have toured the UK and played at Bath Comedy, Brighton Fringe and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals to packed crowds and critical acclaim. President Obonjo has attracted legions of fans thanks to his party political broadcasts on social media, NextUp Comedy specials and declaration of war on Wakanda. A beloved character on the comedy circuit, he is in demand as an MC and headliner. When the BBC and E4 conspired to dethrone the President by installing a pretender in his position of Comedy Dictator, the entire comedy community rose as one to demand that His Serene Excellency be recognised as the TRUE Supreme Leader of the Lafta Republic.

The guilty parties have never been seen again.

Medals include:

The Malcolm Hardee Award

Lastminute.com Comedian of the Year

Luton Comedian of the Year

Nobel Peace Prize (TBC)

Chantel Nash

Chantel started stand-up in mid 2022 and has been gradually clawing her way onto the open mic and black comedy circuits. With a splattering of gong shows under her belt, her effortless charm is winning over audiences.

Within her first year of performing, Chantel has shared the stage with Richard Blackwood, Slim and Kane Brown, and will be featured in Mo Gilligan's Spotlight on Audible. This fast rising future star of comedy is one you certainly want to see.
