CRAIG HILL - Infectious and wicked – Scotland's favourite kilted comedian! ‘Absolutely hilarious’ LIST
KAI HUMPHRIES - has toured to 53 countries with Daniel Sloss, co-host of hit podcast "Sloss and Humphries on the Road" ‘Absolutely brilliant… Pure stand-up… Fabulous’ ★★★★ VOICE MAG
JACK TRAYNOR - Cumbernauld’s powerhouse comedian and prolific writer who is meteorically flying up through the comedy ranks with killer material and a distinctive delivery. Jack is also part of the “Wholesome Prison Blues “collective.
DANIEL PETRIE - Exciting new Scottish stand-up with a unique view of the world and who was already crowned 2023’s winner of the Uk's most prestigious Comedy competition. - The Leicester Comedian of the Year against a line-up of seasoned pros. (Daniel is also a newly qualified doctor.... so super smart as well as super funny.)
Jack and Daniel were both personally invited by Daniel Sloss to perform on a big line-up, and both killed it - these are 2 definite stars of the future. CONNOR BURNS - Brilliant stand-up from one of the fastest rising new stars of Scottish comedy, who has opened for Daniel Sloss, toured Australia and performed at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival ‘Absolutely cracking… Great material with fantastic execution’ THE STAND
MICKY BARTLETT - Northern Ireland’s reigning king of comedy joins us for the Sneak Peeks for the first time - Micky is just amazing, has opened for Kevin Hart as well as selling out 2000-seater tours on his own and his razor-sharp and hilariously embarrassing anecdotes are enough to make psychiatrists blush. “He killed" (Kevin Hart)
