A highly distinctive performer and deft writer of finely crafted jokes, Peter Brush unassumingly takes the stage with his slight bespectacled frame and scruffy hair, before consummately conquering it with an arsenal of razor sharp quirky one-liners and peerlessly original routines, all delivered in an amusingly awkward fashion.

Peter performs at all the major clubs across the UK, as well as having done many of it’s biggest festivals, he has also played shows in Switzerland, Norway and Hungary. Formerly a BBC New Comedy Award finalist, he has written for several BBC Radio 4 shows and was the support act for Alexei Sayle’s most recent tour. Other acts he has supported on tour include Jonathan Pie, Jason Manford, Fern Brady, Arthur Smith and Paul Sinha.

Aaron Wood, a comedian from Greater Manchester, has quickly made his mark with a sold-out run at Edinburgh Fringe 2023 and tour support for acts like Tom Stade, Carl Hutchinson, and Eshaan Akbar. Runner-up in the Chester New Comedian of the Year competition, he’s praised for his natural stage presence and relatable material. As host of the Spread Negativity podcast, with over 100 million views, Aaron’s laid-back charm marks him as a rising talent with a bright future.

‘Absolutely brilliant’ - Tim Vine

‘A very big future in this business’ - Tom Stade
