About the comedians

(NEW) Ignacio Lopez headliner Ignacio Lopez is a Spanish & Welsh comedian based in Cardiff. His parents are Welsh/Irish & Moroccan/Spanish, and he has a German sister; family get-togethers are like a meeting of the U.N.

As well as hosting TV shows, headlining top comedy clubs all over the U.K and Europe, and taking the piss out of British people directly to their faces, Ignacio writes sketches, sitcoms, and tweets.

Neil McFarlane support act

Relentlessly and unspeakably middle class, Neil has given up claiming in his act that he comes from Glasgow because he actually comes from Bearsden, which is a posh suburb of that city and therefore doesn't count. He has a reasonable day job, comes from a very secure and stable background with a good education and a high standard of living, and his parents are both still alive and happily married - all of which, from the perspective of artistic integrity and creative angst, are matters of intense irritation to him.

Neil McFarlane has had all his jabs and frequently keeps his clothes on. Allow him gently to divert you from the horrific truth of your own existential plight and occasionally use the word 'seepage'.

Kevin McCarthy compere

Kevin Mccarthy has been a comedian a long while, all his life in fact. But only in the late eighties did he make it his career.

His career to date has covered the full gambit of the comedy world, indeed the world at large, working in such far-flung places as South America, North America, the Caribbean, Europe, The Middle East, and even Afghanistan. He has entertained all-comers…. kids, troops, Hells Angels, audiences from 10 to 45,000.

His reputation as a funny and importantly reliable act is acknowledged throughout the business both as a stand-up comedy set performer and perhaps more highly still as a compere/M.C. His experience and ability to connect to any audience is almost legendary.
