Paul Tonkinson is sensational live performer, Yorkshire man, marathon runner and former (double award-winning) Time Out Comedian of the Year, Paul Tonkinson has long upheld his esteemed reputation as one of the finest stand-ups the UK has to offer. With a unique and distinctive style, Tonkinson is noted for his effervescent physicality and skilful impressions, which bring alive exuberant, tender comic reflections on love, family and the day-to-day idiosyncrasies of 21st century life. A plethora of first class material, combined with tremendous charm and irrepressible, infectious energy make for a formidable talent.

His first love has always been stand-up with numerous TV appearances - BBC One’s Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Comedy Central’s The Comedy Store and The World Stands-up. He has played at comedy festivals around the world including the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs festival, hosting the esteemed Brit-com Gala.

“Hilarious, nobody makes me laugh like Paul Tonkinson…go see him! “ - Michael McIntyre

Steve Gribbin is a diminutive guitar-wielding satirist from Liverpool, whose comedy songs and off the wall observations have made him one of the firm favourites of the comedy circuit.

Always expect a unique show, as Steve rips apart whatever topics are current and have been in the news that week.

As one half of Skint Video, they performed at many festivals throughout the early 1990s and also starred on countless television programmes such as Saturday Live. Their radio credits include The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and their own show Songlines on Radio One.

Since branching out on his own, professional Scouser Steve has continued to keep his feet firmly in both camps. A great musician, his songs are exactly that, combining razor sharp lyrics with catchy tunes and devastatingly funny humour.

Steve has appeared at countless Comedy and Music Festivals, from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to Glastonbury and everywhere in-between including two full-length one-man shows at the Edinburgh Festival, Natural Born Kidder in 1995 and I’m Turning Into My Dad! in 1999.
