Anthony Jeselnik

September 30, 2023

This Pennsylvanian-born comic, most famous for The Roast Of Donald Trump is a handsome dark devil who takes no prisoners at his live shows - or indeed his recorded ones currently setting fire to Netflix across the world. Making his name on the Comedy Central Roasts, he became a worthy successor to roast king Greg Giraldo. A whipsmart misanthrope, he was the first stand-up comic to perform on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE, and continues to tour the late-night TV circuit in addition to his live shows.

Described by comedy peer Lewis Black as the "funniest woman in America", the winner of the American Comedy Award for Best Female Comedian is a triple threat; as well as her sell-out tours, Madigan is a favorite on late-night talk shows and nationally syndicated radio shows. With an enviable career spanning three decades on the comedy circuit, she has the distinction of being one of few comics to appear on every major late-night show including Leno, Letterman, Conan, and Ferguson.

November 4, 2023

A nurse with a background in healthcare isn't who you usually go to see in concert, but with social media, anything is possible. Blake Lynch, better known as Nurse Blake amassed a large online following due to his comedic videos providing insight into the nursing profession. He has also been the pioneer of campaigns including 'Nurses Support Their Young' and 'Banned4Life' which challenged the FDA blood donor policy that excluded gay and bisexual individuals.

November 8, 2023

The alter-ego of super-sized baritone and Kingsized band leader Mike Geier, Puddles has been a mainstay of the Atlanta entertainment scene since 1998. The six-foot-eight inches entertainer has come to international fame with his heartfelt renditions of famous songs and distinctive whiteface clown costume. An enigmatic figure, he is known for not taking interviews in character, but has performed at various festivals in both the USA (Adult Swim's Aqua Teen Hunger Force's tour in 2010) and at countless worldwide comedy festivals, including the renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
