Featuring

Garrett Millerick 

Garrett Millerick is an acclaimed stand up comedian, writer and director. His unique and versatile style has led to him being in great demand on the alternative and club circuits both in the UK and internationally and he recently made his television debut performing stand-up on the hit US late-night talk show Conan (TBS).

His breakout live show Sunflower became one of the best reviewed and most talked about shows of 2018, both at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and subsequently at London’s Soho Theatre. The show saw packed houses for both runs and added additional shows to cope with demand. The show was Time Out London’s No.1 Comedy Pick for February 2019, and secured Garrett a nomination for ‘Breakthrough Act’ at the 2019 Chortle Awards. Sunflower was recorded as an album and is available to purchase internationally from 800 Pound Gorilla Records.

Garrett’s follow up show Smile surpassed Sunflower, once again selling out its run and adding extra shows. The Times called Smile one of the stand out shows of 2019 and The British Comedy Guide named it one of the best reviewed shows of 2019 by. Smile  transferred to London before touring the UK. Garrett’s next show 20/20 will head to Edinburgh in August 2020.

His sitcom Do Gooders recently recorded a pilot for Audible produced by Hat Trick Productions and starring Jack Dee and Meera Syal. It is currently being developed for television.

Bethany Black

Critically acclaimed stand-up Bethany Black is a stalwart of the scene and can be seen performing up and down the country, as "one of the UK circuit's finest night-time raconteurs" (British Comedy Guide). Also an applauded writer and actor, you may recognise Bethany from her roles in Cucumber, Banana, Tofu (C4), No Offence (C4) and Doctor Who (BBC). Most recently, Beth won the Award for Best New Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival 2023. She is also the Winner of the Joe.co.uk comedy award 2020. 

Bethany's most recent Edinburgh Festival Fringe show, Unwinnable gained praise across the board: "A great comedy mind" (British Comedy Guide Recommended). "I went for an hour laughing at every other word" ***** The LGBT Arts Review. "You’re onto a winner with Bethany." **** Funny Women. **** Fest Mag.

“An experienced standup, she was engaging, easily confident; her accent, fast and fluent style and timing triggering associations ranging from Victoria Wood to Ken Dodd and Les Dawson, her tendency to digress reminiscent of Ronnie Corbett. Her set was traditional in other respects: predicaments, tricky situations, the comedy of embarrassment, rude bits, very British fare.” - The Guardian

“Bethany Black made us laugh out loud, caused our jaws to drop into our laps that afternoon, largely because of the combination of her gifts as a comedian and her personal traits, which enabled her to “see the world in ways which none of you will ever see.” -  The Guardian
