ADAM HESS

Adam Hess’ skill for joke-writing and his likable, high-energy performance style assured him a place as one of the most exciting new acts of 2011 and winner of the Chortle Student Comedy Award. He was also a staff-writer on Russell Howard’s Good News. He has appeared on Tonight at the London Palladium, Live From The BBC, The Chris Ramsey Show, Elevenish, Count Arthur Strong, Australia’s Comedy Up Late and had his own segment in the Award Winning Dave Podcast. Adam is also one of the creators of underground cult hit The Bearpit Podcast Podcast.

For good quality gags per minute, there is no better comedian’ ★★★★ THE INDEPENDENT

‘Relentlessly entertaining, full of beautiful imagery’ ★★★★ TIME OUT

‘One of the most out and out hilarious shows on the fringe’ ★★★★ 1/2 CHORTLE

‘I’ve seen few shows that are funnier’ ★★★★ THE TIMES

KAREN BAYLEY

Karen has been on the circuit for over a decade. She made a name for herself early on in her career reaching the semi-final of the prestigious BBC New Comedy Awards and was later crowned the winner of the 2001 Komedia New Act prize. She followed this by becoming the first ever female winner of the prestigious Comedy Store King Gong award as well as reaching the finals of both the BBC New Comedy Awards Showcase and Babycham Funny Women Awards.

Delightfully saucy, her friendly and confident stage presence, combined with a killer wit, an infectious giggle and some devastating one-liners make her a comedic force to be reckoned, with a delightfully saucy and spiky edge.

Karen can be seen performing at all the established clubs and bookers across the UK and has recently been supporting Joe Lycett on his tour.
