He is... always enjoyable, often inspired... THE SOURCE

He has... an easy going joyful manner, laced and juxtaposed with pathos and reality that only an experienced comedian and earthling can bring you... TAKING THE PISTE TOUR

He should be... made the mayor of a small village... SHANGHAI CITY WEEKEND

Random facts:
Pierre Hollins used to perform as a comedy acrobat and unicyclist.

His first guitar was a one-string electric squash racquet (still in use at festival gigs).

He used to wash dishes in the House of Commons.

Pierre’s first novel The Karma Farmers is being published early this year by Unbound.

MEL BYRON
Having performed across the UK, peddling her unique brand of middle aged bafflement. Her two full-length shows have played at the Edinburgh Fringe and festivals nationwide. 'May just make your day.' (The Scotsman)

DAN TRISCOTT
"Quick witted, sharp, off-beat, and a mind for logic, Dan has got some of the best jokes on the circuit. Bringing a forensic approach to one liners and short stories, performed with relaxed confident charm, he is a wonderful manifestation of pure comedy mechanics in action."

"A lovely mix of material, from the unapologetically daft to the mathematically rigorous." - Silky

"His winning mix of memorable one line gags and surreal visual humour stole the show" - bbc.co.uk


Hosted by MC Claire Rowley, live music to open, from Jay Burleigh.
