Jon Richardson
With a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe behind him, It’s Not Me It’s You sees everyone’s favourite young grumpy man return to the stage. Embracing his misanthropy, the show features the best bits from his critically acclaimed Edinburgh show ‘Don’t Happy Be Worry’ as well as brand new material.

Discussing the everyday items that have a profound effect on his outlook, Richardson takes his audience on an eclectic journey from cheating footballers to decapitated alligators. It’s Not Me It’s You sees Jon working his pessimism with some hilarious consequences, and as always with his loveable vivacious delivery. It’s also the name of Jon’s highly anticipated first self penned book.

Seann Walsh
‘… with the looks, gags and charm to become something quite special, Walsh is this generation’s Dylan Moran’ – Time Out

Charming and charismatic, a natural motor-mouth, Brighton’s Seann Walsh is the most frighteningly precocious talent to emerge from the UK comedy circuit in ages.

Within two years of his first comedy performance in 2007, Seann became the winner of the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year. Shortly after, other accolades included Chortle Best Breakthrough Act Nominee 2010 and Chortle Best Compere Nominee 2011.

Walsh’s assured delivery and self deprecating silliness would enable him to star on BBC1?s Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and BBC2?s Mock The Week and has now seen him listed as one of DAVE’s top 10 stand-ups to catch in 2011.

Seann’s total sell-out debut solo Edinburgh Fringe Show, I Would Happily Punch Myself In The Face received rave reviews.
