With a combined age of less than one Michael McIntyre, here’s an hour of great jokes from two of the South West’s finest up-and-coming comedians. Ben Treloar: Winning Cornish Comedian of the Year 2023 and shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Awards, Ben is one to watch. With self-deprecating punchlines and quick crowd-work, it’s easy to see why he’s getting booked across the UK and providing tour support for TV names. “Bloody funny” - Jessica Fostekew Ollie Young: A comic from Bath who’s already impressed the scene with his dry wit and writing skills, he's a Standup for Cider Finalist, a Chortle Student Comedy Semi-Finalist and truly personifies the phrase, 'first the worst second the best'. "Turns out a lot funnier than that sounds" - Bath Echo.

Happy To Be Here. Omari doesn’t say much, Emma says a lot, they’re figuring it out and mostly pretty stoked. A split bill work in progress from Omari Douglas and Emma Hughes, two of the most exciting and engaging new comics emerging from the South West. Omari Douglas Omari Douglas is impossible to ignore. He’s got bags of charm and a masterful control of silence, absurdity, and razor-sharp timing. ‘The room’s silent apart from the hum of the air-conditioner as he delivers his set-ups, testament to his ability to hold an audience.’ - Chortle ‘It takes a lot of courage to spend as much time as he does without saying anything... but he makes it work.’ - Beyond the Joke Emma Hughes Aussie born Emma’s offbeat humour is as unpredictable as it is hilarious. She’s gloriously odd, and you’re gonna love every minute of it. 'An unhinged intensity that’s weirdly compelling, funny too.' - Chortle 'Skilfully leans into the idea of being an oddball... Judging by this performance she could be a big talent too.' - Beyond the Joke

Get ready for an unpredictable, unflinching and unrepeatable night of comedy with Greg Winfield in Whatever You Say. This show is a masterclass of improvised moments of “genius” (Matt Lucas), found on the roadside of a comedy journey heading somewhere no one else will take you. As you’ll see from his viral clips online - Greg is genuinely not able to take things seriously, especially very serious things. Discover the impact this has on his life, his relationships, and his penile trauma and find yourself laughing at things you tried really hard not to.

In February 2022, Jack stopped drinking. July ‘22, he packed in cigarettes. August 2023 he gave up meat all together. October ‘23 he moved to Bristol. Cravings are still there as he continues his quest to become painfully dull. Award winning comedian, Jack Campbell, is working on a new show about giving up whilst giving in. Tour Support for Larry Dean, Daliso Chaponda, Rhys James and Luisa Omielan English Comedian of the Year (2014)

Award-winning musical comedian JoJo Maberly (BBC One, BBC Radio 4, BBC Three) grew up in the sticks. So she became obsessed with sticks, and then, naturally, she became obsessed with Ewan McGregor. In this innocently unhinged show, JoJo takes us through the multiple obsessions she has conquered and surrendered to during her embarrassingly angsty teenage years in rural England. With 'witty and unexpected' (Chortle) songs on her guitar, and what can only be described as tortured wails through her loop pedal, JoJo crafts crude jokes 'while somehow maintaining an endearing innocence' showing 'likeability and talent in equal measure' (FunnyWomen.com), and 'impressive musical chops' (BeyondTheJoke). JoJo is the winner of the inaugural Bristol Comedy Competition 2025 and the Best Newcomer prize at the Musical Comedy Awards 2023. She has written for BBC Radio 4, and her standup has been featured as part of the BBC New Comedy Awards on BBC Three. JoJo's first ever comedy gigs were with Locally Sourced, so she is extremely excited to be performing at the Exeter Comedy Festival this year.

Homeless Sex Biscuit is award winning comedian, Kev Mud's sell out, award nominated, debut hour.

Self deprecating... leftfield... absurdist! A breakthrough success!" - THE GUARDIAN "He's a dead cert this guy. Future star!” - BBC "Genuinely very good!” - THE STAND "You clever, clever man!" - SPENCER JONES "Honest, Charming, Humorous. A crowd pleaser.” - BRITISH COMEDY GUIDE "You're a funny f★ck.” - ARI SHAFFIR "Kev is not only a solid and hilarious jokesmith, but is also able to provide a necessary perspective which is severely under-represented in comedy. His ability to discuss homelessness, addiction, and mental health in a way which feels accessible, informative, AND funny is a skill to be encouraged and praised.” - BEC HILL

Bonsense!..is comedy nonsense from our Bonces. What to expect... “Mimi is the charming high-energy queen of musical satire and Larry merges hysterical observational comedy with high drama. This show is going to be giddy and possibly a bit unhinged, like an episode of ‘Blue Peter’, written and directed by Guy Ritchie.” Ed Tripp If you fancy a good laugh come along or if your feeling a little masochistic and want to see a man shoved into a cardboard box with 50 sharpened spears shot through him... that’s in it too! Mimi won Cornwall Comedian of the Year 2022 on just her third gig. She discovered she loves making people smile, so she kept going. With her ukulele, she mixes her ditties with stand-up, sharing sharp but playful observations. Expect charm, chuckles, and possibly a singalong you weren’t prepared for. Larry Pears Cornwall Comedian of the year 2024 Expect strong comedy and silly voices ...then lower your expectations and settle for silly voices to avoid disappoint.

"The man will make you skitter and shake with laughter like you wouldn't believe" - CAMBRIDGE NEWS

Hello, I am Charles Quarterman. Please consider this an invite, I hope you will be there. I will be there. There will be stories from the mind, poems from the heart and sounds from the larynx, poured bountifully into your lives. Some of the stories will contain dogs. - Nominee: Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality - Edinburgh Fringe. "Master of... words" (Arts Leanings, CA). "This generation's Homerton Bawdry" (Boston Spool). "Scrupulously honest, ridiculously funny” (The Scotsman) “A spoken word fever dream, there’s a richness that is utterly unique... beautiful” ★★★★ (Entertainment Now)
