Nish Kumar - performing Thursday, 5th December

Earlier this year, Nish Kumar performed a sell-out run at the Soho Theatre. Since then he has been nominated for 'Best Show' at the Leicester Comedy Festival, appeared on XFM, lost three phone chargers, done a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe and filmed an episode of Stewart Lee's 'Alternative Comedy Experience' for Comedy Central.  As heard on BBC Radio 4. Also he's a brilliant dude.

Mae Martin - performing Friday, 13th December

"Let's have a nice time, for once in our terrible lives!" After a stellar year (Russell Howard's Good News, BBC Radio 4), Canadian Mae Martin is live on stage doing what she does best. 2013 was Mae's third successful year at the Edinburgh fringe (Underbelly), where her show was critically well received and made her the only female finalist in this year's Amused Moose Laughter Awards. She is currently supporting Nina Conti on her UK wide tour and can be seen on ITV2's comedy panel show Fake Reaction later this year.

Jen Brister - performing Friday, 20th December

After her summer run at Soho, Jen Brister brings her trademark frenetic, animated style to this year's festivities. A regular performer on the UK and international circuit Brister has written for BBC Scotland presented for BBC6 Music and starred in Russell Brand's Cloud Cuckoo Land for BBC Radio 2. She is a 37-year old cynical malcontent whose greatest life achievement so far is receiving 22 RTs of an angry Tweet during Question Time.
