Nik Coppin has been a stand-up comic for more than six years, and performs all over the world. His confident, affable and energetic style of comedy is quick to build audience rapport, as he talks about subjects as wide-ranging as observations on human nature, his experiences in the Antipodes and his mixed race upbringing in London. His mother is English and his father is from Barbados.
Dizzy High is utterly unique. His experience of life on the street means an outlook unlike any other comedian. Expect stories about good trips, bad trips and sick trips as Dizzy looks at the alternative lifestyle with a cheeky grin.
Jane Hill is one of the most promising newcomers around. By day an acclaimed crime writer who has been described as "the new queen of the British psychological thriller", she is a talented stand-up whose wry stories of sex and the single woman have seen her reach the semi-finals of both Funny Women (2006) and the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year (2007).
Paul Ricketts was initially a musician who recorded albums and singles and performed in the UK and Europe. He switched via music journalism into devising, co-writing and producing stage plays. Two years ago Paul moved into stand-up comedy on the advice of his therapist. His comedy is dark and dry (rather like a Bourbon biscuit) and ranges from topical, political to surreal. He made the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year 2007 semi-finals. |
