Sean Hughes
Sean Hughes' off-the-wall and surreal humor in the late 80's led to him being the youngest ever recipient of the Perrier award at the age of 19. This in turn led to him getting his own TV show, Sean's Show. His dry sometimes sarcastic humour and ambivalent and often deliberately laboured delivery have contributed to his unique style.

Sean Lock
Lock has a hyperactive imagination and his stand-up consists of madcap, meandering observations. He is renowned for combining hilariously surreal imagery and insightful thoughts into the human condition with more than the odd twisted aside.

Shazia Mirza
Shazia Mirza's riveting style and hilarious self mocking material has led to her receiving international acclaim and respect from her fellow stand-ups. Sex (or her lack of it) has become central to her routines along with the killer line "My name Is Shazia Mirza… or at least that is what it says on my pilot's licence"
