LINE-UP

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

💥 NATHAN CATON

As seen on Live at the Apollo, Mock The Week, Russell Howard’s Good News, House of Games, and BBC Radio 4’s Can’t Tell Nathan Caton Nothing

Award-winning comedian Nathan Caton is one of the most exciting names on the UK circuit – combining sharp, relatable stories with laidback social and political observations that pack a punch.

From personal gags about family life to his trademark cool-headed takes on modern Britain, Nathan’s material is smart, slick, and always hilarious.

“A charming and convincing operator” – The List
“He specialises in laidback, on-the-nose material” – The Guardian
“Funny, clever and a pleasure to listen to” – Broadway Baby

Nathan has starred on prime-time TV, performed around the world, and written for hit BBC shows like Rastamouse and Jojo & Gran Gran. An absolute class act – and one not to miss.

💥 COLIN OWENS [COMPERE]

Meet your host – Colin Owens – award-winning stand-up, seasoned compere, and all-round funny bloke. He’s shared the stage with the likes of Jimmy Carr, Frank Skinner, Tim Vine, and the teams behind The Inbetweeners and The Mighty Boosh.

Colin’s style? Laconic, charming, and quietly chaotic. Expect tales of his own failings, general stupidity, and mild paranoia – all delivered with confident energy and a bit of mischief.

“Genuinely brilliant” – Jimmy Carr
“Brilliant performer” – Frank Skinner
“Brilliant, like a funny neighbour” – Tim Vine
“I knew he’d be funny, and he was” – Michael McIntyre
