MITCH BENN (Leeds 23/8, Reading 22/8) is an established face on the comedy circuit, a regular on both Radio 4's Now Show and Radio 2's It's Been A Bad Week, and star of his own Radio 4 series 'Mitch Benn's Crimes Against Music'. An accomplished musician and a genuine comic talent, this is one set well worth your time over the weekend.
STEVE WEINER (Leeds 24/8, Reading 22/8) is this year's winner of the Hackney Empire New Act award, always a good indicator of where the next comedy star may come from. With an act built around subtle observations and god, old fashioned gags, Steve looks like a name for the future.
ROGER MONKHOUSE (Leeds 24/8) is one of the most original and distinctive acts on the comedy scene. A consummate stand-up who employs a deadly combination of charm and menace to exert a masterful control over any audience. A highly original and quirky performer, Roger's trademark stage-prowling style and curious, inimitable manner have established him as one of the hottest names on the comedy circuit.
