 Host Comedian - Chris Henry

“He was good. He was very good. In fact, he was exceptional.” Evening Express

A man who enjoys tackling issues you ordinarily wouldn’t discuss with your Gran around the dinner-table, Chris Henry is renowned for his exuberant brand of mischievous humour. Henry enjoys being on stage, his energy, timing and facial expressions exudes a childlike sense of fun, which uncontrollably infects anyone around him. Continual touring has not only given him a foothold on the Scottish scene, but has seen him branch out to playing some of the biggest clubs in England. In an age when a lot of acts try shock their way to the top, Henry’s personable tales of everyday life lull the audience into a false sense of security. When he unexpectedly twists our preconceptions, the result is altogether rewarding.

Opening Comedian - Anil Desai

'It's not just clever but utterly hilarious... one to watch' Edinburgh Evening News

As a comedian Anil began his career starring in the Award winning BBC sketch show series Goodness Gracious Me. As a fan of pop-culture, he followed this by creating his own comedy sketch group The Giant Pineapple Boys, performing in London and Edinburgh Festivals (2001 - 2004), co-hosted on the ever popular live late show Spank! (Edfest 2004 - 2007), created his original comedy characters Rajesh - Bollywood Lounge singer & Candice the Fluffer Girl continually performing on the cabaret, variety & burlesque circuit since 2006, and has had over 25,000 hits on Comedy box online with his awe-inspiring act of performing 52 impressions in just 5 minutes!
