Line Up :
Ben Norris
The term circuit legend is overused, but Norris rarely departs a stage without leaving it torn to shreds in his wake.
A master of the craft, Norris may not be a household name, but then very few really good comedians are these days.
Ben's TV credits include "Never Mind The Buzzcocks", "They Think It's All Over" and "Mock The Week".
"A cast iron guaranteed headliner" - Londonisfunny.com "A wonderful disgrace of a human being" - Daniel Kitson.
Ben Norris is a highly experienced & hugely well respected stand-up & a regular headliner on the UK comedy circuit and has performed around the world in Prague, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, South Africa, Dubai , Singapore, Bangkok, Tokyo , Isle of Wight & now New Cross!
Carwyn Blayney
Welsh Unsigned Stand Up of the Year 2024, a So You Think You’re Funny? Finalist in 2023 and Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award winner 2009, Carwyn has credits on BBC Radio 4, Radio Scotland and Radio Wales, TV stand up appearances on S4C , Elis James tour support.
Gemma Mushington
Gemma is a West End New Act Finalist and Soho Comedy PLUS Lab alumna with a penchant for silly storytelling and even sillier tangents.
Steve Holmes
Steve Holmes decided to get into comedy. With a moral, mental & physical stance influenced by NHS grade painkillers, Steve wants to do good in the world, but is easily distracted in his efforts. He has a world-weary view of life and a distrust of humanity borne from being an old man since childhood. He was runner-up in 2024's West End New Old Comedian of the year.
Rez Bhatt
Rez has been performing all over the country entertaining audiences with his fast paced story telling and wry observations. Born in South Africa, raised in London with roots in India, he has a unique perspective and is an engaging presence on stage. In 2023 he was part of a sold out Fringe show!
*Plus Secret Special Guest(s) TBC
Who could it be? it could be a big comedy stars trying out some new bits for telly thing or rising stars trying out some new gold?
- Either way it could be your new fave comedians?

Great way to try and reach people during lockdown. Good fun. Flowed really well. A surprise ‘big’ nane in comedy, which was a great bonus. Most of the comedians were great , it can’t be easy doing a routine this way ,so think they all did good compare was fab in his role and brought it all together ! Would definitely attend another. Great value for money. Actually felt like we had been out! Just not out out.

Loved Friday night, great to see and support talented comedians during these times, and the Zoom format really works well. Thanks to Lloyd, Charlie, Laura, Tony and James - and a special mention for Sion who keeps it all together in inimitable fashion. Looking forward to the next one.

Excellent evening yet again. Josh was definitely a favourite. Last review was obviously taken seriously - the comedians cranked it up a notch. Compere has tenancies to paraphrase reviews slightly incorrectly (Haha!) but in saying that, filth rating was 5 stars. He's lucky he's funny too. Also - never seen such a handsome and beautiful looking audience.
