Our Brilliant Line Up :
Patrick Monahan
Much loved, energetic, charming Irish/Iranian Geordie and multi award winning comedy circuit living legend. As seen on BBC One’s The One Show, Loose Women (ITV), Asian Network (BBC)
"Twinkle-toed, mischievous, sharp break dancing moves. Monahan raised the roof" - The Sun
"Instantly loveable, wonderfully unique" - Metro
‘There isn't a comic quite like him and his hugs alone are worth the price of admission’ ***** TheNewCurrent.co.uk
James Dowdeswell
Local lad and beer connoisseur, James performed at the Rivoli ballroom last November to great acclaim, and will keep you entertained with comic tales. Appeared on Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC), Celebrity Deal Or No Deal with Jimmy Carr (C4), Ricky Gervais’ Extras, The World Stands Up ( Paramount Comedy) “James Dowdeswell is a real master of the comedian’s craft.” Chortle.co.uk
James has published a CAMRA recommended book about his love for pubs "The Pub Manifesto: A Comedian stands up for pubs"
Roman Harris
Super talented & loved by audiences everywhere Roman has developed a reputation for being a 'Nice Guy' & most importantly a "Funny Guy" NATYS runner up 2022 , British Comedian of the Year Semi Finalist , Finalist ‘Get up, Stand up’ competition.
Roman performed at Indigo 02 as part of Wahala Comedy Clash : Caribbean Vs Africa 2023
“Roman Harris delivers observational, quirky and sometimes edgy comedic tales of life as he sees it”
Currer Ball
With hands-on giddiness, this Glaswegian stand-up now based in South London gives a whole new meaning to physical comedy – while delivering one exquisite gag after another. ‘Quite weird, very funny’ – Guardian ‘Inventive one-liners’ -Viv Kroskop
Jo Phaure
West End New Old Act of the Year Semi-Finalist 2023. Finalist 2024. Forgot to apply in 2025. Darkly sardonic, self-deprecating humour. Jo is a medium sized success in a very small town.

Reviews for previous Sion James events
Gotta work out a way of being able to hear every word the comedians say. Even having the mic volume of guests at 50% meant that some of the punchlines could not be heard at all. It is the only bad thing about this, everything else is absolutely superb. Personally I would rather everyone was on mute for the comedians performance and the ‘laughter’ was given in the form of the emoji things with the volume turned up right at the end for the rapturous applause. I know this experience may not be the same for the comedian but would be 100% better for the audience. Anytime a comedian wanted to interact with an audience member the admin would simply unmute them. FYI - don’t think this is required for the MC as it’s more of a discussion / free for all then. Also think, if this was implemented you could charge £10+ at least

Brilliant! All of the comedians were fantastic- and we were so chuffed that Russell Kane was the secret special guest. Seen Marcel lots of times before at various venues in Manchester, so it was lovely to see him again (even though it was online) and we really felt part of the show too which was amazing - It was definitely a great alternative to being there in the flesh. Thank you sooo much for organising this event. We loved it👍🏻🥰 We will def watch the next gig if we can. See you then. Jeni and Jonny. xx
