Dave Chawner is a number 1 best-selling author, award-winning stand up, presenter & mental health campaigner. His first Edinburgh show, Normally Abnormal, sensitively used humour to explore his anorexic past. The show received critical acclaim, had sell-out shows and went on UK tour. As a result, the show was given an award by The UK's Eating Disorder Charity  at The Houses Of Parliament in 2014. Since then Dave has gone on to do shows about adult circumcision, veganism and mental health. He's a stand-in for BBC's Mock The Week & Channel 4's Taskmaster, a regular Friday presenter on The Talk Radio Breakfast Show with Julia Hartley-Brewer and has appeared on BBC Breakfast, ITV's Lorraine, Jeremy Vine On 5, Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio 4. Dave has written for National newspapers including The Guardian, The Telegraph and Metro as well as numerous magazines including Cosmopolitan, GQ and Men's Fitness.

Managing to mix silliness with edginess, writer and comedian Juliet Meyers has a chatty gag-driven style that allows her to interact with the crowd; this makes her much in demand both as a comedian and an MC across the UK comedy circuit, Europe and Australia. She has also had sell-out shows at Melbourne Comedy Festival, as well as at Edinburgh, Manchester, Guildford and Buxton Fringe with her show ‘This Flipping Rescue Dog Has Ruined My Life’ which she performed with her co-star Homer the Portuguese Podengo. Juliet and Homer are regulars at many comedy clubs in the UK and have also appeared at The Dog tails conference in Devon, and on ‘A Dog’s Life’ podcast and on Radio London’s Barking Hour. Juliet was a writer on Sarah Millican’s TV Programme on BBC2 and also Elephant In The Room, Sarah’s show on radio 4, as well as 8/10 Cats and Mock The Week. She has also been the warm-up act for BBC radio4’s Women’s Hour live broadcast. Juliet has gained a reputation for topical comedy and has been a panellist on various comedy shows discussing current affairs.

Based in London, Luca Cupani is considered the most British of the new generation of Italian comedians, not just because of his double citizenship, but also because of his style and quirky dry humour. His first stand up gig was at the famous Gong Show at the London Comedy Store – and won. This set him off nicely on his path to winning the So You Think You’re Funny? at the Fringe in 2015. Luca has been gigging in Dubai and across Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark to name a few) and of course in Italy, where he has appeared on Zelig, the most successful Italian TV comedy show (recorded live in front of an audience of 2300 people). Cupani has appeared at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, competed in Seattle and San Francisco International Comedy Festival and regularly performs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Luca’s latest show Happy Orphan received multiple rave reviews. His solo show in Italian has been broadcasted on the TV channel Rai 5 and it is available on streaming on Amazon Prime Video (Italian Stand Up, episode 3). Luca’s UK credits include appearing on Comedians Vs. News (BBC World Service) The Arts Hour (BBC World Service) and The Arts Hour International Comedy Show (BBC World Service)
