In addition, we've welcomed numerous comedians from popular panel shows like Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, and Would I Lie to You?, as well as a plethora of guests from BBC’s legendary 'Live at the Apollo’.

LINE-UP

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

💥 RACHEL FAIRBURN

London-based Rachel has been a finalist in numerous prestigious competitions, including Funny Women, City Life Comedian of the Year, the NATYS, and English Comedian of the Year. She was featured in Chortle’s ‘One to Watch’ list in 2020 and received the 2019 online content award from Joe.co.uk. Co-host and co-writer of the popular podcast All Killa No Filla, Rachel has garnered a massive international following of over a quarter of a million listeners. She's taken the podcast on sell-out UK tours and a successful USA tour. A regular on the UK stand-up circuit, Rachel has had six critically acclaimed solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe since 2014, and TV credits include: BBC Presents: Stand Up For Live Comedy and Funny Festival Live, Live at the Apollo, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, Richard Osman’s House of Games, Pointless Celebrities, and Russell Howard Hour Life Lessons.

"Gag-heavy, opinionated and smart" **** Funny Women

“Huge presence in a pint-sized frame" **** Chortle

"Bright, brave and bitterly enjoyable" **** The Skinny

"Very much the rock’n’roll star of British comedy” Rolling Stone 

“Fairburn delivers…with sadistic glee” The Guardian


💥 DANNY WARD 

Danny Ward's humour is up-beat and well honed, and his easy-going style both endearing and very funny. One of the new breed of comics with a high energy set not reliant on smut or swearing, Danny started comedy in late 2008 and has since established himself as comic to watch. His observational humour and his slightly manic style are both endearing and very funny. He can turn the everyday trials that we all experience into piercingly well dissected anecdotes of exasperation and obsession – with wonderfully hilarious solutions. Danny has performed worldwide in over 16 countries and taken six solo shows to the Edinburgh Comedy Festival with great success, most notably winning the prestigious Amused Moose Peoples Champion Award for best show.

“Danny Ward's observational humour is brilliantly delivered... This is top quality stand up..." Three Weeks

“Slick, quick, and packed with funny material” **** Three Weeks

“Delightfully clever punchlines” Chortle


💥 COLIN OWENS [COMPERE]

Our compere and your host for Stand in The Basement, Colin Owens, is an award-winning stand-up comedian, who has worked with Jimmy Carr, the teams behind The Inbetweeners and Mighty Boosh. Described as ‘laconic and charming’, Colin talks about his failings, inadequacies, mistakes and general stupidity, all tinged with an air of paranoia and insecurity, but delivered with supreme confidence and sexual edginess!

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