JACQUES BARRETT.

An award-winning star of both the Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival he is now a headline performer at all of the major U.K venues and is an Australian anecdotal artisan who could generate warmth in those cryogenically sealed.

ANDREW RYAN.

Andrew has been bringing "an abundance of charm" (Manchester Evening News) to comedy clubs around the UK. The Cork native immediately gets audiences on-side with a likeable, bewildered style described as "impossible not to warm to" (Chortle).

The best selling and award winning author, Radio and TV personality, really is at his best and most exciting in front of a live audience. An Evening with Gervase Phinn, will have you on the edges of your seats, as he shares his hilarious and sometimes poignant tales of life as a schools inspector in the Yorkshire Dales. Dubbed 'the James Herriot of schools'.

'A born raconteur' (The Guardian)

 'Funny touching and entertaining' (The Daily Express)

'He tells a cracking good tale' (The Times)

IAN D MONTFORT.

Described by Time Out as 'a spookily skilful, wonderfully observed and hysterically funny character' in a 5 star review, Ian is the Sunderland psychic who channels dead famous people. He performed a critically acclaimed sold out run at Edinburgh Festival in both 2009 and 2011 and will be previewing his 2012 show which mixes eerily good cold-reading skills with a joyful debunking of the genre.

IAN BRACKENBURY.

Ivan is a truly bizarre and twisted comic creation, a hilariously inept hospital radio D.J with delusions of grandeur that would make even Dave Lee Travis blush. Described by Chris Evans as 'a comedy genius', his show has wowed punters at festivals all over the world and created a frenzy at the Edinburgh Festival where he won the coveted 'Spirit Of The Fringe' Award and was nominated for the If.comedy Best Show Award

Written by Willy Russell, the legendary BLOOD BROTHERS tells the captivating and moving tale of twins who, separated at birth, grow up on opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with fateful consequences. The superb score includes Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It’s Not True.

Few musicals have received quite such acclaim as the multi-award winning BLOOD BROTHERS, and Bill Kenwright’s production, having recently celebrated its 23rd phenomenal year in London, continues to enjoy standing ovations at every devastating performance.

No wonder BLOOD BROTHERS is now ‘The musical for all time’.
