Comedy

This year we will have a full program of top quality stand up comedians...here's a few of em...

BentleyBentley

Bentley is “the hammer that knocks the nail in” for the comedy at Endorse It being both MC and comedy organiser for the weekend. This incorrigible pirate like figure is an excellent and sought after comic in his own right, but his mischievousness really shines when MC’ing an event like this as he welcomes you into the comedy arena.
He has been described as rustically risqué and rurally right on, the drinking woman’s Jethro and one west country paper is quoted as saying “You get the distinct and worrying impression that he as actually done the things he talks about.

Del Strain

Del Strain in his own words “I GET A BUZZ FROM DOING STAND UP COMEDY ! THAT I HAVNT FELT SINCE PUNK ROCK, LIKE SEEING THE SEX PISTOLS ON REVOLVER OR DANCING IN A FIELD WITH 100,000 AT SUNRISE BACK IN THE DAY-THATS HOW MUCH I LOVE MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH AND ITS GOOD KARMA”

Susan Vale

Joint winner of last years EIID’s Scrumpy Comedy Prize Susan Vale’s act involves sifting through and sharing the mounting debris that has drifted in and settled in her head. She didn't find any use for this in her previous job as a shepherd, so she decided to become a comedian in order to give her thoughts an airing. Beware because her softly-spoken voice disguises the venom that comes from within. Swapping sheep for showbiz and lambs for laughter allows her to wander through her own minefields of fun without having to come home afterwards covered in excreta and smelling of wool (not unless it’s a particularly good gig).

Susan Murray

Having been successful on the circuit for over 10 years now, Susan Murray has the mentality of a spiteful 14 yr old boy! Which is very admirable in a young lady!. She is an alluring (and arousing) combination of world-wise chic chick, trashy tramp, and frisky midlands lass. Very funny and looks great in a posh frock

Tim Ewins

Joint winner of last years EIID Scrumpy Comedy Prize, Tim Ewins started writing comedy songs to make his friends like him a bit. Since then he has played his tunes to many comedy clubs up and down he country (although himself midlands based) and has been very successful in getting all types of audiences on his side. He has a good line in stand up and pant shittingly funny songs to share.

Ian Cognito

Ian Cognito is one of the best comics on the national circuit, a veteran who clearly knows what he’s doing as he spits his darkly humorous vitriol over an unsuspecting crowd. Outspoken, opinionated, and totally clued up, this man’s take on the world will have you convinced and convulsed (with laughter).

"Cognito puts them all in the shade. If you want to know what’s wrong with New Britain, Ian Cognito’s going to tell you. And if you don’t, you’d better keep your mouth shut. Just stunning." - Phil Daoust, The Guardian

Hacksaw & Lobotomy

Hacksaw & Lobotomy are a wonderfully mad lungful of joyously fresh comedy air. They are purveyors of mad shite comedy magic and have been likened to Penn and Teller on acid.
They have the crowd on the edge of their seats thinking no they couldn't... and then collapsed back in their seats howling with laughter thinking oh yes they f#*king could"

Paul B Edward

The terrific Rock'n'Roll Poet, Paul B Edward, he might look like a square bit he’s been around. His act is a treasure chest packed to bursting with all sorts of comedy goodies and he is a huge fan of this festival.
His alter ego is the DJ Punky from www.punkyradio.com
