★ Brian & Krysstal 

Since meeting at The Edinburgh Festival in 2000 Brian & Krysstal have entertained and delighted all kinds of audiences at comedy clubs, cabaret nights, festivals, corporate and private functions in locations far and wide. Regular fixtures at The Edinburgh Festival for eight years, the duo have worked all over the UK as well as Germany, South Africa, Gozo, Spain, Denmark, Ireland, Australia and of course… Peckham. 

Brian is infamously grumpy and deadpan, while his assistant Krysstal is glamorous but ditzy. The combination is unique and very funny. Their timing is exquisite, their humour dry and sometimes bawdy. 

'Off-the-scale nuts, really quirky, really eccentric' – Amanda Holden, Britain's Got Talent 

'Bonkers. Brilliant.' – Alesha Dixon, Britain's Got Talent 

'Always enjoyable and incredibly funny' – Chortle 

'Intelligent comedy, downright dirty stuff and silly songs' – SXNews

★ Julian Deane 

Julian Deane has been wowing audiences across the country with his genius punch lines and perfect delivery. Having first performed stand up in 2005, Julian’s brilliant, utterly original and hilarious routines have earned him appreciation, recognition and praise from audiences across the country as well as prominent figures in the comedy industry.
Furthermore, he has proved his talent by winning some of the most prestigious stand-up comedy competitions in the country and is also in big demand as a writer (Mock the Week, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Morgan Spurlock’s New Britannia).

‘Deliciously twisted. a stream of seriously good gags. quick, sharply written and endlessly repeatable lines’ – The Guardian

‘Assured and brilliant. Deane is a class apart. a master of hilarious twists and turns’ – Chortle

‘It’s just a matter of time before Julian Deane gets a boost up the comedy rankings. His trick is to make you think you’re watching standard stand-up fare, then twisting expectations with sharp, original punchlines’ – The Independent

★ Colin Owens

Your compere for the evening, Colin has worked with Jimmy Carr and Russell Brand, as well as working with the team behind The Inbetweeners and Mighty Boosh. 'A comedian who's star should shine brightly' (The Guardian). He's 'Impossible not to like' (Russel Brand) with 'Really good material' (Three Weeks Edinburgh).
