Headliner – Lindsey Santoro
Naturally effusive and full of giddy joy, Birmingham’s Lindsey Santoro has emerged as one of the most original female voices to come out of the West Midlands and is one of the best hidden gems on the comedy circuit.
Lindsey enjoyed remarkable success at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023, winning Next Up’s Biggest Award in Comedy for the most outstanding show at the Fringe and also earned an Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer Nomination for her critically acclaimed debut sell-out show Pink Tinge.
Lindsey recently made her hilarious TV debut on Mel Giedroyc’s: Unforgivable (Dave), Comedy Central Live and The Stand-Up Sketch Show (ITV2). Other credits include Ch4’s The Joy of Missing Out and The Elephant in the Room with Sarah Millican on BBC Radio 4.
Headliner – Rob Deering
Armed with a battery of effects pedals, Rob homes in on the silliest lyrics ever written and songs you really shouldn’t listen to at certain moments in life. The Independent describe his superb musicianship and physical comedy as ‘nothing less than a joy.’ He has hosted 99 Things To Do Before You Die, toured with Emo Philips and has won Celebrity Mastermind as well as a comedians’ special of the Weakest Link on BBC One, for example.
Along with being one of the most in-demand headliners on the UK circuit, he’s toured nationally and performed solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe many times since starting out in comedy in the year 2000. Rob has performed throughout the world, in shows from the Middle East to Melbourne, Shanghai to the South of France, and he has appeared on any number of Radio and TV shows.
“A highly impressive one-man soundscape powered mainly by energy and excellent guitar skills.” – The Scotsman
“Uses music to brilliantly accessorise his swipes at the innate gormlessness of contemporary culture.” – The Guardian
Dave Thompson
Dave has performed his stand-up comedy act in forty-nine countries. Known for his one-liners and absurd persona, Dave has written material for many other comics, including Harry Hill, Omid Djalili, and Stewart Lee. He’s best-known for having been the actor in the Tinky Winky costume in the world famous TV show ‘Teletubbies’, especially after he was sacked in July 1997 because the BBC thought his interpretation of the role was ‘unacceptable’.
