"A gifted natural...unfailingly entertaining and skilfully able to pull punchlines seemingly out of thin air" - Chortle

"Highly regarded by his peers on the circuit" - Evening Standard



Headliner 2: Viz Co-Founder - Simon Donald as Barry Twyford

Talking head on most of those Top 100 programmes

Plus: Dave Dynamite


MC: Dan Willis
