Tony Bournemouth is the creation of the legendary Jimbo, himself a comic with 20 years experience on the circuit.

Jimbo has channeled his trademark anarchic energy into the character of Tony Bournemouth, a classic old school comic hilariously struggling through his act of snappy one-liners in the twilight of his career.

Jimbo’s brilliant timing, playfulness and physical comedy bring to life a truly funny portrait of an act going beautifully wrong. Plus top puns.

One part Norman Wisdom, one part Neil Hamburger and three parts Tarby, this is great character comedy.

“Jimbo is something of a legend… He is a real character too. A man in latish middle age on a scene dominated by the young… a real personality.” Chortle

Tobias Persson: Sitting on a Cornflake

Two things we know about life: 1. We are all going to die. 2. We will all sit on a cornflake some time …

Sweden’s Best Male Stand-up has ‘incredible energy’ and is ‘very sharp in a cute exterior’ (Comedy Gala Judging Panel 2008). A surprisingly friendly show about music, love and avant-garde women deliberately defiling Swedish opera houses.

‘One of the sharpest pencils in Swedish comedy’ (Magnus Betner, comedian).
‘Thoughts that are likely to strike a chord … concisely and effectively put’ (Steve Bennett, Chortle.co.uk).
‘Quirky, sharp observations and lightening wit’ (Arts Leicestershire Magazine).

Jay Foreman: We’re Living in the Future

Children have become adults and the 90s are now as long ago as the 70s were in the 90s. How did the future catch up with us so fast? Jay Foreman’s songs blend delicate acoustic guitar with catchy melodies and surreal, often melancholy lyrics.

You’ll still be humming them long after you’ve stopped laughing. Join one of the ‘top 10 comedians to look out for in 2011’ (Londonisfunny.com) for new songs, poems, description-defying musical weirdness and ‘laugh-out-loud jokes aplenty’ ***** (Three Weeks).

Phil Kay: Free Hash!

Hash – keep using the stuff you already have. The fabulously direct meandering hilarity bent mind of Phil Kay doing basically outrageously detailed phil-osophic stand-up story musings as bloody funny and like way too madly extra-long and plus well over-extravagantly embellished introductions to real songs like: F**k Mad Men, Moonroof, Venezuelan Girls, Giggle Earth, Goodminton and Penultimatum.

To be at one of Phil’s shows and expect stand-up would be a big mistake Éanything can happen and invariably does! Never is this more true than when performing on his home turf. Glasgow beware! Or, at the very least, bring hard hats.

Phil’s comedy is a unique blend of energy, improvisation and leaps of imagination that take his audience on a joyride they’ll never forget. Even Phil has no idea what might happen when he unleashes his crazy brand of improvised comedy mayhem. He possesses the rare gift of creating a space where audiences feel like they are kids again, all taking part in a practical joke.

Phil launched his stand-up comedy career with a bang in 1989, quickly garnering a host of awards, nominations and glowing reviews. Since then, the plaudits have never stopped as he conquered first the live stage and then television, with appearances on such shows as Phil Kay Feels, (Ch 4), Next Stop Phil Kay (Ch 4), Edinburgh Nights (BBC1), Montreal Festival of Fun (Ch 5) and plenty more besides.

Richard Rycroft: The Song’s I’ll Never Sing

Somewhere between stand-up and story-telling, a nice man reflects on turning 50. From the death of Elvis and the birth of Punk, to the importance of singing your own songs. Always.

“Comedy sunshine” – (Three Weeks, Edinburgh)
“A solid act who… will do well smouldering gently in the smaller clubs” (Corry Shaw, Chortle)
“Clever wordplay and knowing malapropisms get the laughs, even if the gags are sometimes smarter than he gets credit for” (Steve Bennett, Chortle)
“Clean but funny” (Surrey Herald)
“A superb performance and a nicely crafted set” – (Stuart Morrison, The Gag Factory, Guildford)
“Loved this guy…. He is SO welcome back.” – (Midlands Comedy Forum)
