Caimh McDonnell, John Fothergill, Gordon Southern

Caimh McDonnell has been working on the UK comedy circuit for a couple of years and has fast built a reputation as the white-haired Irishman whose name nobody can pronounce. Despite this obvious handicap he has established a reputation as both a skilful MC and a talented act in his own right. His quick-witted style mixes topical material with keen observations from his unique perspective and has proven to be a firm favourite with audiences all over the country. Caimh was a semi-finalist in the 2002 BBC and Daily Telegraph new act awards and is also a proud winner of the legendary Comedy Store Gong show.

Comedian and actor John Fothergill hails from Crawcrook, a small village in the North East of England. After spending the majority of hi childhood trying to convince the rest of the community that he was a very special child, they finally agreed and after the traditional tar and feathering banished him to the nearest city – the vast cosmopolitan metropolis that is Newcastle upon Tyne.
