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?

Hats off to them all, they’re so used to a live atmosphere when performing but handled the digital delivery excellently, technology has a tendency to let people down occasionally but this was a great night! Thank you all

We had a fabulous night well done to DRT for organising the event, we live in Yorkshire and would have been babysitting the grandchildren who are in deeside so daughter and son In law could attend the event had it gone ahead as planned so we would have missed it but we were able to attend the online event, there were a few hiccups to start with but were soon cleared up. We were muted the whole time as we're the majority but there were one or two laughing out loud which made it impossible to hear the punch line sometimes but overall it was a great night
