John Mann was described as the comic discovery of 1991, if you haven't discovered him yet do not miss him. His meteoric rise to playing London 's top cabaret venues has been almost unparalleled. Drawing from his experience in front of the bus travelling public of Harlow - a more ferocious, cynical and critical audience than any other - his sharp observation and wry wit mingled effortlessly with a gentle and confident rapport have proved to be immensely popular.

John's charm and warmth belie the fact that most of his material deals with winter sports for pensioners, lavatories and spontaneous acts of retail vandalism. His approach to school days, bath time and footwear is unsurpassed. A unique observer of the mundane, John is sometimes rude, frequently silly, but never, never dull.

Whether he is discussing the senile antics of senior citizens or giving handy hints to aid successful shoplifting his gentle and honest delivery makes him one of the most enjoyable comedians on the circuit today.

Bob Mills burst on to the London Comedy scene in 1985, turning the  faltering "Alternative" establishment on it's head with his unique, challenging brand of laddish irreverent stand-up.

Over the next ten years he established himself as one of the most successful live acts in the country, as well as putting together a string of acclaimed TV credits.

His performances as host of ITV's flagship daytime game show ‘Win Lose Or Draw' , treading the fine line between pensioners favourite, and students cult hero, and his weird and wonderful late night ‘ In Bed With MeDinner' , are still remembered fondly wherever intelligent TV fans meet.

He's also hosted, ‘ There's Only One Brian Moore' , and ‘Dial Midnight' for LWT, ‘Not A Lot Of People Know That' for BBC1, as well as over 200 shows for VH1 , including major documentary/interviews with Eric Clapton, Phil Collins and Cher . He's recently appeared on The Weakest Link Comedian's Special.

In 1995 he starred in what he regards as his finest work, to date, Channel 4's ‘ The Show' .

These eight one hour programmes featuring fly-on-the-wall film of the making of a real chat show, are widely regarded as the template for much of the reality TV that followed throughout the nineties, and continues to dominate the schedules today.

Since 1996 Bob has combined his live and TV performances, with his role as writer and producer.

He was responsible for the two series of ITV's award winning, critically acclaimed ‘Bob Martin' , giving Michael Barrymore his acting debut.

On his debut as a film producer he helped Julie Walters to a Best Actress BAFTA in ‘My Beautiful Son' , also receiving his own coveted nomination from the Academy.

Bob co-wrote and produced Stan The Man , which starred John Thomson and Gaynor Faye, the six-part comedy-drama Northern Lights which starred Mark Benton and Robson Green, as well as an episode of Shameless and the feature length film ‘Pierrepoint' that starred Timothy Spall and premiered in 2006

Patrick started off on the glamorous Irish/Iranian/Geordie stand-up circuit where he developed his chatty & friendly, story telling style.

Now a regular on the UK comedy circuit, playing venues such as the Comedy Store, Jongleurs, The Glee club to name just a few, Patrick has also performed in Europe and on the International comedy scene, including shows in France (Paris 'Hotel Du Nordi' & The Alps), Monaco, Germany (Berlin), Belgium (Brussels & Antwerp), United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Doha & Abu Dhabi) and Bahrain.

Patrick regularly performs in most comedy clubs across England from Newcastle to Devon, as well as in Scotland , Ireland , Wales & Jersey. He has also done a host of University network shows for Avalon, Paramount and Off The Kerb Events

As well as a regular TV & studio warm up - on shows such as 'Friday Night Jonathan Ross', ' The IT Crowd', ' The Lenny Henry Show', 'Davina', 'Open House with Gloria Hunerford', as well as a regular MC at selected venues on the comedy circuit.

He's also appeared as a contributor to nine out of twelve episodes of Channel Five's 'That's so Last Week'. He has also appeared on BBC's Destination Unknown', 'Malai Monologues' and as a panel member on the comedy quiz show 'Sudoko Street Challenge'.

An original writer and clever improviser skilled in audience interaction, Patrick's versatility, likeability and engaging stage presence has popular appeal, be it, stand-up, comedy character, host, presenter!
