Steve Gribbin (website)

Steve Gribbin is a diminutive guitar-wielding satirist from Liverpool whose scabrous comedy songs and off the wall observations have made him one of the firm favourites of the comedy circuit.
Steve's original comedy songs combine razor sharp lyrics with tunes that put their foot in the door of your mind and refuse to leave. Firmly based in rock 'n' roll and refusing to pull no punches, these are not the 'oh so witty' ditties of penguin-suited plink plonk piano playing posh gobs. They are that rarity - comedy songs which are actually funny. more...

Kitty Flanagan continued

Well known for sketch comedy as well as stand-up, Kitty has appeared in several successful TV shows both in Australia and the UK, most notably Full Frontal (AUS) The Micallef Show (AUS) and The Sketch Show (UK). There have also been numerous TV stand-up appearances, including The World Stands Up on Comedy Central (US) . 

After years of having her writing directed by others, Kitty recently decided she needed to be the boss of everyone and set out to direct her own work. The result is the short film Dating Ray Fenwick

 A paranoid, tall-story-telling comedian with a gift for languages, Kitty is dedicated feminist who promises to burn her wonder bra just as soon as she can afford a boob job, in the meantime she will continue taking the country by storm.
