An original performer, Dawn won the XS Manchester Radio Comedian of the Year in 2016, which led to her presenting a show on the station
A likeable and affable nature, Dawn is a regular on the UK comedy circuit and performs for some of the most reputable promoters in the Country.
Dawn’s honesty regarding life and love are raw, straight to the point and comes with a no-holds-barred delivery. She is a merry maker and definitely loves to have a damn good chuckle

What a good evening! The venue was very cosy and comfortable, perfect for the performances. Very friendly staff. Locally brewed craft beers of a high standard, very nice. Comedians were very good. The host presenting the acts, Phil Cooper, was particularly entertaining and read the audience really well encouraging participation. All-in-all, a great night.
