★★★★ “A comic in her prime” – The Times

Comedian, presenter, actor and writer, Stephen Bailey is a proud northern, working class, gay man. The multi-award nominated star’s indecorous brand of gossipy humour has singled him out as one of the UK’s most sought-after comedy talents.

Stephen’s credits include co-host on BBC One’s Date or Drop alongside Amanda Holden, Would I Lie to You, Live at the Apollo, The Stand Up Sketch Show, Roast Battle, Celebrity Mastermind and The Apprentice: You’re Fired to name a few…

"A superstar in the making" - British Comedy Guide

★★★★ “A down-to-earth talent who’s got it in spades” – The List
--------------
Lily Phillips is one of the most exciting up and coming voices in comedy in the UK.  She is a series regular on The Stand Up Sketch Show and The Stand Up Sketch Show Christmas Special (ITV2), and co-hosts the hugely popular podcast Ghastly Women.

★★★★ “Charming and moderately obscene” – The Scotsman
