BEN NORRIS

Ben is one of the most sought after comperes on the circuit and has developed a reputation for his ability to work an audience and think fast on his feet. Ben presented MTV’s “Hot” for a successful run, has performed sets for “The Stand Up Show” (BBC) and guested on “They Think It’s All Over” (TalkBack Prods for BBC1) and “Nevermind the Buzzcocks” (TalkBack Prods for BBC2).

He was a writer and warm-up for Paul Kaye's "Liar" (Talkback Prods), as well as "Your Face or Mine" (Talkback Prods for BBC Choice).

TONY LAW

Like a rolling ball of funny with bits flying out of it, Tony Law’s infectious comedy will leave you stranded in a hilarious field of ideas. Half Canadian, half Trinidadian, Tony has been busy working hard on the circuit and creating a buzz for himself as one of the most exciting new comedy propositions around.

His laid back acid casualty approach, combined with scorching jokes and incisive remarks, have endeared him to both live and TV audiences here and abroad. Tony has performed in New York, Aspen, South Africa, Ireland, The Netherlands and in his native Canada. He is a regular face at the UK’s biggest comedy clubs such as The Comedy Store and Jongleurs.

Along with Dan Antopolski and Craig Campbell, Tony created The Dinks, the acclaimed comedy troupe, which excited both Fringe audiences and critics alike with their inimitable style of slapstick and banter.

Tony’s TV credits include The Stand Up Show (BBC1), House of Fun (Meridian) and Does Doug Know? (Channel 4).

Tony Law is appearing in the Paramount Edinburgh and Beyond Tour this Autumn.

“Hugely entertaining.” - Time Out

"To see Tony Law is to inhale deep breaths of comedy oxygen." - The Herald

PAUL REDWOOD

Armed with a sense of fun he also launched himself upon the world of comedy, albeit in a slow laidback way. At first things were tough, gigs were sparse, his hair already thinning. Paul soon realised that the best way of doing it, was doing it yourself. And The Rib Tickla Comedy Club was born.

He has been gigging now for over 6 years, and now has a style and presence that is unique. His use of props is fast becoming legendary.

He is both inventive and enthusiastic, traits that bring surprises and laughs galore.
Confident as a compere or set comedian, the audience always enters into his world, whereupon he will offer advice, and his view of life to great effect.

Live Work

A regular performing for Mirth Control & GSOH is currently doing regular support slots for The Comedy Store. Paul has also performed for Off The Kerb, Jesterlaugh, Jesters, Purple Cactus and other independents.

DAN ANTOPOLSKI

Since winning the BBC New Comedy Award in 1998, Dan Antopolski has quickly built himself a reputation for being one of the most inventive, intelligent, edgy and unusual comics to emerge in years. Dan's quick witted mind and surreal flights of fancy have delighted both critics and comedy audiences alike. His Perrier Award nomination at the Edinburgh Festival 2001 followed a Perrer Best Newcomer Award nomination in 2000, and he also received critical acclaim for his part in the Perrier Award nominated Lee Mack's New Bits at the Edinburgh Festival 2000.

Dan's other television credits include appearances on two series of The Stand Up Show (BBC1), How To Survive (BBC Choice), Cherry Pop (UK Play) and The Perrier Awards (Channel 4). He recently travelled to Melbourne to appear in The World Comedy Series, which will be screened on Comedy Central in the USA and on The Paramount Comedy Channel in the UK.

Gary co-writes Ivan Brackenbury's Hospital Radio Roadshow which was nominated for the If.Comedy award in 2007. Gary will soon be appearing on Paramount's 'Comedy Blue'.

He has become a familiar voice on BBC Radio 4, contributing regular to 'You and Yours', featuring in a half-hour special of 'No Triumph, No Tragedy' and starring alongside Caroline Quentin and Patricia Routledge in 'The Sound Barrier'.
