“The Comedy Room, the Old Fire Station’s stand-up showcase, is a great way to see talented comedians with whom you may not be familiar… Jonny & the Baptists nail the vibe that they’re going for – the evening is light-hearted, free-flowing, and slightly chaotic, “like a folk gig where most people have forgotten their instruments”. The Old Fire Station is an intimate venue, but for once that grossly over-used word rings true – it feels like you’re joshing with friends at a party or at a pub, except that none of your friends are this funny.” – Daily Info

Helen Duff
Writer, comedian and actor Helen Duff is a creative whirlwind to be reckoned with. Whether acting alongside Will Ferrell in 2018 feature film Holmes & Watson, creating viral content for BBC 2’s The Mash Report, or winning awards for her profoundly ridiculous solo work, Helen’s star is most certainly in the ascendant.
★★★★ “Bold, subversive and very funny.” – The Scotsman

George Egg
George Egg is the comedian who cooks. Funny, inspiring and absurd, this cross-genre stand-up comedian and anarchic chef presents a show that’s as much a comedy set as it is an illustrated lecture. Unique and genre-defining, he makes food onstage using unexpected equipment and unconventional methods, and he makes you laugh too.
“a culinary Bill Bailey, with chopping boards instead of keyboards. It is a multi-sensory delight to spend an hour with him” – The Scotsman

Jonny & The Baptists
Musical satirists Jonny & the Baptists – real names Jonny Donahoe & Paddy Gervers – are among the hottest musical comedy acts on the UK scene, regularly appearing on TV, radio, at festivals and most recently a 50-date UK tour of their hit show Eat The Poor. From silly songs to satirical anthems, their riotous live blend of comedy and rock gig has won adoring fans across the country.
★★★★ “Excellent” – Guardian

Morgan & West
Time-travelling magicians and all-round spiffing chaps return to the Old Fire Station! Not content with their lot as the nineteenth century’s greatest magic duo, this prestidigitatory pair present a conjuring spectacular to the audiences of the modern day. They join The Comedy Room to offer offer up a plateful of illusion and impossibility, all served with wit, charm and no small amount of panache. Be sure to wear a hat – Morgan & West might just blow your mind!
★★★★ ‘Hugely talented’ – Daily Mirror
