Noel James is a comedian who reached the Semi-Finals of Britain’s Got Talent in 2018. He was 52 at the time of audition, and stated before his audition that ‘if I do bad on this show, I’ll probably give up’.
Surreal, bizarre, absurd, intelligent, and yet, somehow strangely attractive. No, seriously he is a very accessible act who generally goes down well anywhere. Noel has performed at many of the major comedy clubs and festivals including Glastonbury, Reading and Edinburgh.

George Rigden Despite only performing his first gig in June 2013, George is already one of the most exciting, hotly-tipped and sought after new acts on the UK comedy circuit and frequently gigs up and down the country for the countries leading clubs and promoters. Having excelled in a host of new act competitions in his first year, George made his Edinburgh debut in 2015 when he performed as part of the prestigious AAA Stand Up Late showcase at the Pleasance Courtyard for a full sell-out run. He returned to Edinburgh again in 2016, again as part of an established and respected showcase (The Lunchtime Special at The Tron)
“Rigden is the result of a genetic mash-up between Mitch Benn and Tim Key, perhaps with a few strands of Ricky Gervais’s DNA thrown in . . . Very funny stuff” – Chortle.
Host Barry Dodds – Self-confessed comedy geek, Barry took to the comedy stage at the tender age of 21 and soon had audiences eating out of the palm of his hand. Using his own combination of irrepressibly cheeky, and surprisingly dark material, he quickly found himself taking the national comedy circuit by storm. A talented storyteller, who uses whimsical imagery and evocative observations, Barry is an assured closing act, with regular bookings at many of the UK’s top comedy clubs including The Stand, XS Malarkey and The Frog and Bucket.
“Wonderfully crafted stories and top-class audience interaction . . . brings his cheekiness to the stage in absolute buckets” – Bunbury Magazine.
