Hamish Shepherd

Hamish Shepherd is a comedian from Australia, where his ancestors were sent to a penal colony for being too funny, among other crimes.

His dark, sarcastic and cheeky style is a hit with audiences in London, where he moved for a climate to suit his comedy. In a short time he made an impact in the Sydney comedy scene, performing at clubs all over Sydney, including the Sydney Comedy Store. 

He is a winner of the Comedy Store’s King Gong, The Blackout at the Up the Creek comedy club and The Ding Dong Gong Show at Big Belly Comedy Club finalist in the Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year as well as 2x state finalist for the National Raw competition in Australia.

Samira Banks

She has been making waves on the UK circuit since bursting on to the scene winning the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny? Competition in 2023 and has been a finalist in competitions such as the Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year and appeared on TV as part of the BBC New Comedy Awards.

Shas acted as tour support for well known acts including Michael Odewale, Ali Woods and Eshaan Akbar. A personal highlight for her this year was opening for Stephen Merchant’s WIP. Samira has appeared at the BBC Comedy Festival, the Kilkenny Comedy Festival and Latitude Festival.
