If you’re a fan of Mock The Week or 5 Live’s Fighting Talk then Ian Stone will have already made you laugh. This north London, working class, Jewish comedian has an easy-going manner that endears him to any crowd. 
He has also achieved a couple of ‘firsts’, first Brit comic to gig in Moscow and first on the Mumbai Comedy Store too. Firsts are all well and good but he also has a pretty impressive ‘last’ when he was booked for the QE2’s last trip across the Atlantic. 
He’s also been pretty impressive as an author. ‘To Be Somebody’ tells of his love of post punk band The Jam, even gaining approval from front man Paul Weller; ‘I really liked this book. I’d forgotten how shit it was in the seventies’ 
The Independent newspaper declared Ian to be amongst the top ten stand up comedians in Britain and the rest of the press have been pretty impressed too! 
“Seriously funny” The Guardian      “Ultimately, it’s the sheer quantity of funny material that impresses” The List 
“Stone’s beautifully crafted stories, peppered with gags and asides were hilarious throughout.” Chortle 
Paul McCaffrey’s numerous TV appearances include Live at the Apollo, Russell Howard’s Good News, Impractical Jokers UK and Stand Up Central. One of the most in-demand club headliners and support act for the biggest names in comedy including Kevin Bridges and Sean Lock. Whether it’s an enormous arena the cosy confines of a pub back room, McCaffrey’s slightly cynical and completely baffled take on modern life wows the crowd every time. Come and see why! 
‘Gut-bustlingly hilarious‘ GQ Magazine ‘Fucking funny‘ Frank Skinner ‘Born to be a comic’ The Scotsman 
Once described as “Spewing out one-liners like he had just scoffed a dodgy prawn”, Scotland’s Paul Pirie‘s brand of high energy lunacy puts him very firmly in the Robin Williams school of comedic performance. Everyday tales of domestic mishap are vividly brought to life by Pirie’s manic antics. Be prepared for the unexpected and some very silly noises too. 
“Hilarious rubber-faced clown” The Scotsman
