Surprisingly polished for an early debut preview, a compelling and punchline drenched show from someone who should emerge from under the radar this year.

O’Brien brings charisma by the bucketload but don’t let that detract from the fact that he also knows his way around a joke too.
Star quality with weight and heft behind it.

In a unique venue we sit in aircraft chairs listening to a skilful classic storyteller in Leslie. He packs in punchlines and gives you an hour of rock solid laughs.

A honed show on one subject can be a delight and this exploration of Donaldson’s sight issues is just that.
A fibrous hour with some unique touches that add sizzle to steak.

Knowing, silly and packed with heart. Stone is uncategorisable and there is too little of that around. A real find.

Easy to see why Mearns is loved by fellow comedians, he gets weekend club sized laughs from the tale a tough time.

Not for everyone but if you latch on and get on his wavelength you might find a new favourite.

Blistering run through every emotion in a show that is less a debut and more a statement of thrilling intent.

The sort of reliable circuit act that shouldn’t be allowed to fly under the radar. Cook has well honed and valuable skills on display here.

Paxton has added light to his pitch black palate and is all the better for it. Plays with the line before skilfully and happily jumping over it double footed.

Two acts who aren’t without promise but are stretching ten minute sets to a half hour each. They have every chance to do something interesting in the future but this is too much too soon.

Cross can do all of the tricks you expect him to do and is no doubt a big hit at corporate parties.
But the old hat ‘banter’, arrogance and contrived gimmickry of his persona make this a queasy watch.

Improvised crowd work but this is not your average Tik Tok compere. Robertson is somehow both utterly unpredictable and the safest pair of hands at the same time.

The most important of the compilation shows at the festival, Sian Davies has compiled line ups of working class comedians who wouldn’t otherwise be here and the line ups are stellar.

It’s time to start calling Jo Caulfield what she is. One of the best comedians these Isles have produced. We must not take her excellence for granted.

Powerful and surprisingly personal from Halbert, usually an impressionist, who reveals more of himself than expected in this bleak yet hopeful hour. No stone is unturned in both its honesty and quest for laughs from the gut.
