STEPHEN GRANT

According to Time Out (2004), “Stephen Grant is... Britain’s best comedy compere and odd-job man.” And it's not hard to see why. A cult figure at the triple award winning Chortle best comedy venue ‘Komedia’, where he plays host to over 900 people every weekend in Brighton, his live work as a headliner and compere can be seen in all the top UK venues. In August 1998 he made his Edinburgh debut at the Pleasance theatre, where he was the main subject of the 6 part TV series Edinburgh or Bust. In 2003 he returned with “Route 1”, an immediate critical five star success, which was followed in 2004 by another sold-out show, largely on the back of his notable performances at the notorious Late ‘n’ Live show.
A large proportion of Stephen’s work in TV and radio. He was the main comedy writer for Radio 1’s daytime programming from 1999 to 2003 and has written for everyone there from Zoe Ball to John Peel. Stephen is also a regular presenter on BBC Southern Counties Radio. Within the world of TV he has written and presented the BBC2 documentaries “Stephen Grant’s Journey to the Wasteland”. “The 29 Steps” and “The Estate We’re In”. More recently his programs “The Brighton Festival” and “Noise” were broadcast on BBC1. Other performing and guesting credits include Bognor or Bust, and ITV’s Dan & Dusty show.
As a writer, Stephen is a columnist for Sussex Life and Sniff Petrol. Additionally, he’s the occasional TV reviewer for the Sunday Mirror. He also does the TV warm up for many leading network comedy shows.

NOEL JAMES

For eight years, Noel has performed comedy throughout the UK. He does it for a living and has performed at all the major clubs and festivals. Glastonbury, Reading, Edinburgh to name but three.
Surreal, bizarre, absurd, intelligent, and yet, somehow strangely attractive. No, seriously he is a very accessible act who generally goes down well anywhere.
TV Credits worth mentioning include: Packing Them in -Channel 4 The Stand-up Show -BBC Giamocs -S4C
The last one you may not have heard of. It was a Welsh language Show which Noel Co-wrote and starred in and it got nominated for the Rose of Montreauxoxex (and that's true).
