With Scott Bennett, Kate Martin, Adam Flood and hosted by Chris Brooker!
Headlined by the hilarious Scott Bennett! After starting comedy in late 2009, Scott is a stand-up comedian and writer whose star is most definitely on the rise. His last two shows Leap Year and Relax were nominated for 'Best Show' at the Leicester Comedy Festival and has been named by Chortle as One To Watch for 2018 and 19. In 2023 he recorded his first Radio 4 special "Stuff" for BBC Radio 4 and in the same year he supported Mickey Flanagan on tour including a 10,000 seat arena show in Nottingham.
In 2021 he recorded his debut for Live at the Apollo BBC1. You will have heard him as a regular guest on BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz, The Now Show, The Likely Dads and Elephant in the Room with Sarah Millican. He also appeared on The Summer Festival with Daliso Chaponda, The Comedy Club with Arthur Smith, and Knock Knock with Helen Lederer. In 2018, he also featured on the BBC One show, Live from The Edinburgh Fringe.
Opening the show is Kate Martin! At 6ft 1, with the longest wingspan in comedy (*probably), Kate's a naturally engaging, energetic performer with effortlessly tight gags to match. Her unique background in mental health, going from double school drop out to Dr (not the useful kind...), and bravely embracing being the only northerner in her family have given her a fresh take on the world. This distinctive voice fuels her high energy storytelling, whip-smart punchlines and razor-sharp observations of life's quirks through queer eyes.
Kate Martin is 'brilliantly funny & energetic' (Angela Barnes) and her 'confident delivery and slick material' (Chortle) have quickly established her as one of the most exciting acts on the circuit.
Kate regularly performs and MCs at many of the best comedy clubs and corporate gigs all over the UK. Kate has also supported for Zoe Lyons and Esther Manito on tour and was a finalist of the Funny Women Stage Awards 2022, and runner-up in the finals of the WDCF New Comedian of the Year competition 2021.
With Adam Flood! Adam has appeared on ITV's Stand Up Sketch Show and can be heard performing on BBC Radio 4's comedy series of DMs Are Open. As an actor, he has performed in The Lunch That Called a Critic, which you can listen to on Spotify or Apple Books.
In 2022 he won Bath Festival New Act of the Year, was a finalist in the NATYs and was runner-up in Leicester Square Sketch Off with his sketch duo Dregs. That same year, Adam's 45-minute work in progress was a breakout success at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Selling over 1,000 tickets, 'Adam Flood: Clayhead' was nominated for Most Outstanding Show in the Amused Moose Comedy Awards and best poster in the Comedy Poster Awards, all setting him up for his exciting debut hour, 'Adam Flood: Remoulded' in 2023. Adam was picked by The Times as one of the rising stars of the 2023 Fringe.
Hosted by the brilliant Chris Brooker!
