MARK SIMMONS

Gag- man Mark Simmons hits the ground running when he won the Folkestone Comedy Festival new act competition, and was a runner-up in both the Newbury and Bath Comedy Festival New Act Competitions.

Delivering a charming, yet mischievous stream of one-liners, Mark Simmons has been performing stand up regularly since the end of 2008. In 2009 he reached the finals of the 'So You Think You're Funny', Amused Moose 'Laugh Off' and the 'English Comedian of the Year' competitions.

If you like proper jokes, you'll love Mark Simmons.

NATHANIEL METCALFE

Comedian's comedian Nathaniel Metcalfe has been doing stand up since May 2007, and got through to the semi-finals of the So You Think You’re Funny? competition after only five gigs. In 2010 he got through to the semi-final of the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year and the final of the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year. That summer he also appeared as one third of the sketch group The Brotherhood of the Leaky Boot in Edinburgh. He is the only resident act at Josie Long‘s Lost Treasures of the Black Heart club and supported her on the Manchester date of her current UK tour in January 2011. He performed his first hour show at the Machynlleth Festival in May and hopes to take it to Edinburgh next year.

“brilliant and unusual and very funny” -Josie Long

“Nathaniel Metcalfe is particularly engrossing with a surreal, meandering line of dry observations, delivered in an perfectly unsettling manner. His Sugar Puffs/Honey Monster comment is the stuff of dreams” -Thomas Meek, The List Magazine

“…there was only one that really stood out. That was Nathaniel Metcalfe, an unassuming dude who had just one joke which he stretched out to five minutes, about the theme song to a movie called The Barefoot Executive, starring Kurt Russell and a monkey. It was a doozy.” -Tracer Hand, freakytrigger.co.uk

“…There was a fair amount of noise and movement for the first few minutes of his set, which he dealt with well, eventually hitting his stride with a light-hearted deconstruction of an old Disney theme song. There is a touch of the Stewart Lee about his delivery as he employs long pauses, and a great deal of repetition to emphasise his points, but it’s Lee on ecstasy. A friendly, jovial enthusiastic fellow, he did well to take the show to an interval on a high note.” -Corry Shaw, Chortle

“…a brilliant act with some strong, dry yet surreal observations. Thoroughly enjoyable.” -Red Redmond, gigglebeats.co.uk
