**Jack Skipper**

South London comic Jack Skipper has recently gone from a carpet fitter with no qualifications to an internet sensation and full-time comedian. Whether telling stories of life as a family man or observations on working-class life, his everyday guy persona has seen him blow up on social media. He recently starred in the Stand Up Sketch Show on ITV2 as well as on Comedy Central Live and has been supporting Michael McIntyre and Josh Widdicombe on tour.

**Chantel Nash**

Chantel Nash started performing stand-up comedy half way through 2022 and has been gradually clawing her way onto the comedy circuit, having already shared the stage with some of her comedy heroes including Kerry Godliman, Slim, Laura Smyth and Kane Brown. Her effortless charm is winning over audiences one postcode at a time and she has won regional heats and reached the finals of both the So You Think You’re Funny and BBC New Act competitions this year.

**Suzi Ruffell**

With five sell-out runs at the Fringe, a nomination for Best Stand-Up Show in the National Comedy Awards, and critical acclaim from reviewers and audiences alike, suited and booted stand-up Suzi is a force to be reckoned with.

Suzi has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, The Jonathan Ross Show, Dating No Filter, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, The Last Leg, and There’s Something About Movies. The release of Suzi’s show Keeping It Classy for Live from the BBC saw a clip gaining over 44 million views online, and she was nominated for Outstanding Female Comedy Entertainment Performance in the National Comedy Awards for her hosting duties on Comedy Central’s Yesterday, Today & the Day Before.

Both a regular host on Virgin Radio, as well as hosting Explicable Me for BBC Radio 2 and appearing on Radio 4’s The Now Show and The News Quiz, many fans will know Suzi for her podcasting. She’s the co-host of Like Minded Friends with Tom Allen, and hosts her own OUT With Suzi Ruffell, which celebrates the lives of LGBT+ people and ‘coming out’ through interviews with star-studded guests. Suzi also co-hosts’ the smash-hit Big Kick Energy podcast with fellow comedian and footie fan Maisie Adam, the success of which has seen them sell out a score of Big Kick Energy: Live shows, welcoming a number of iconic figures in the world of Women’s Football as guests at their live podcasts.

Suzi’s Amazon special Dance Like Everyone Is Watching was released in 2022 to critical acclaim, and her latest tour Snappy culminated in a taping at London’s iconic Bloomsbury Theatre, which is due to be released later this year.
