Babatunde Aléshé

As seen on Live at the Apollo, Celebrity Gogglebox, The Stand Up Sketch Show and I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

In addition to his success in comedy, Babatunde has authored provocative factual content drawing on his own powerful story of growing up poor in inner city London (Trap Town, London Live). An experienced actor, he has appeared in an extensive list of TV shows including Waking the Dead and films including Pelican Blood and The Naked Poet, alongside cutting-edge theatre such as Iya Ilé (Soho Theatre) and Requiem for Tomorrow (Shaw Theatre).


Mike Gunn

As seen on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow and Al Murray's Time Gentlemen Please.

“One of the Top Ten Stand-ups in the Country” - The Independent

Mike Gunn's history is as interesting and entertaining as his comedy. He’s been a successful stand-up comedian for over 15 years, but his road to success was a rocky one involving a misspent youth, a heroin addiction spanning 15 years and a stint in a psychiatric unit. Thankfully his sordid past is long behind him; but it cultivated a deeply cynical outlook and a perverse desire led him into the world of stand-up. A self-confessed pessimist, he describes himself as "not a natural choice for a career in laughter". The evidence however, might suggest otherwise.


John Robertson

Cult favourite and creator of legendary interactive live-action videogame show The Dark Room.

A human hurricane, John has headlined festivals, theatres and comedy clubs around the world, where he arrives, plays with the crowd like nobody else can, then leaves. He’s also written 13 different solo shows, created custom work for private bookings, performed at 12 Edinburgh Fringes – SOLD OUT EdFringe 2023 and his show was recommended on the British Comedy Guide, and since 2020 his online shows have raised over £100,000 for charities including NHS, Samaritans, Shelter, Mermaids, End The Virus Of Racism, Special Effect and The Trussell Trust. He also performs customised shows for corporate events and private clients. He also has performed and hosted for clients including Google, Bethesda, BBC, Jagex and Sumo Digital.
