Scottish Comedian Of The Year At LOL Comedy Club Southport

Scottish Comedian Of The Year At LOL Comedy Club Southport

Since winning the inaugural Scottish Comedian of the Year Award in 2006, barely a year after his first-ever open-spot, Mark Nelson’s mix of dark humour, cutting observations and superb one-liners has seen him firmly established as one of the UK’s biggest-hitting comedy powerhouses.

With a likeable manner on stage belying some of the stronger content, Nelson often has audiences laughing at things they know they really shouldn’t be laughing at.

He is therefore a very sought-after comedian and writer, with both the skill and intellect to be able to adapt his material to suit and entertain any club, theatre or corporate audiences.

‘A remarkably accomplished stage presence… blistering material which pushes dangerously near the boundaries of good taste’ The Sunday Times

Smart, sharp and brilliantly astute, Kae Kurdis a young British-Kurdish stand up making a serious name for himself. Passionate about making politics accessible to his peers, his comedy presents beautifully crafted slick routines with confident cutting edge flair. In 2016, he was part of the Pleasance’s prestigious Comedy Reserve showcase and supported Dane Baptiste on his nationwide tour. In 2017 Kae took his debut hour Kurd Your Enthusiasm to the Edinburgh Fringe achieving excellent critical acclaim. His unique back story as a child refugee and his emergence from the Black British comedy circuit totally shining out amongst the newcomer landscape. TV credits include Know Your Rights (own series on Channel 4 OD), Comedians Solve World Problems (Comedy Central) Three Guys Eat (BBC Three) and BBC Asian Network’s Big Comedy Night. His radio appearances include A Night of International Comedy for BBC World Service and Best of the Fringe for BBC Radio 4 Extra. With this kind of track record, he’s most definitely one to watch.

Josh Jonesis a camp tour de force. Right from the off you feel like he’s your gay best friend: Super bitchy, uber feminine, ultra working class and totally adorable. This young, friendly, and energetic performer has the cutest little baby face that makes you love him despite the awful things he says!

‘Enviably gifted. An exceptional gag writer and performer with something to say- a rare treat and I have no doubt a future star.’ Kiri Pritchard-McLean

‘Naturally funny, really works a crowd.’ Alex Boardman

‘He has a very engaging personality, and a back – story that should keep in routines for years to come.’ Chortle
