Wed 6th July | 7.30pm | Jen Brister + Stephen Carlin + Henry Ginsberg | £4/£5
Jen Brister
After performing in front of the legendary Spike Milligan and receiving the luminous and prestigious title of having ‘a great pair of Bristols,’ Jen knew that comedy was the way forward. So with the help of two jokes and a push up bra she was on her way…
“Brister ticks all the boxes – she’s confident, energetic and knows how to deliver a line for maximum laughs” – The Scotsman
“Outrageously Funny” – Metro
“Gorgeously talented” – Tim Arthur, Time Out
Stephen Carlin
Carlin has earned critical acclaim, accolades and a growing fanbase.
Named by Stewart Lee as one of the ‘Ten Best Comedians in the World Ever’.
Carlin’s performance takes the audience into the mind of a passionate obsessive. This man is well on his way to become Scotland’s newest addition to its history of brilliant comedians.
Stephen has written for:
The News Quiz
The Now Show
The Stephen K Amos Show
“if this man isn’t a household name in five years time, the world is even more lacking in justice than we could have feared” – The Scotsman
“Stephen Carlin is fast establishing himself as one of the most distinct and funny new comedians in Britain.” -Chortle
Henry Ginsberg
Henry Ginsberg started performing comedy in 2005. Since then he has dazzled audiences and fellow comics alike with his power of performance and offbeat material. Subjects range from childhood, self image and religion to existential angst, sexual misconduct and social phobia. Not to be missed.
WINNER Reading festival new act of the year 2010
“Henry Ginsberg’s self deprecating humour had us laughing from the off. Not bad for someone who’s been likened to “the fat guy from Lost”" – Three Weeks
“Like a real-life version of The Simpsons’ Comic Book Guy but much funnier” – London Lite
“Terrific set” – Ben Elton

Rebecca Schuster
Rebecca Schuster started stand up comedy in January of this year. She moved from the prairies of Canada to London, England in hopes to find poverty and polluted pastures. She has been compared to a glass of wine, noted for it’s fresh, fruity yet bone dry characteristics. People in the hallway told her she was ok.
