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. 

MC Siôn James
"Utterly charming ... Lovable giant' Time Out London

Reviews for previous Sion James events

Colin D reviewed Happy Mondays Comedy Lockdown Online Zoom Special : Josie Long , Brennan Reece, Hatty Ashdown , Catherine Bohart, Sarah Keyworth & MC Siôn James which happened on 9:00pm on Mon 22nd Jun 2020.

Sion's a superb host. A brilliantly entertaining line-up. Fun audience members. Some were doing different things whist watching the comedy. Knitting, ironing, drinking and other multi-tasking activities. Were all taking place. Now, now. It was all clean stuff by audience members. Some have dishwashers and ironing boards. Don't you know?! A perfect way to spend a lockdown Monday evening.
