COLIN OWENS (COMPERE)

Your host Mr Colin Owens! He's been gigging across the UK comedy circuit since 2005, known for his dry delivery, laid-back style, and razor-sharp crowd work. Colin’s the glue that holds the night together, setting the tone, warming up the room, and making sure no one gets too comfy in the front row.
