Imagine your doctor decided to swap the stethoscope for a microphone and found out laughter really is the best medicine. Meet Dave Wandless, an observational and satirical comedian who weaves his experiences as a GP into a hilarious commentary on the state of the NHS, the absurdities of modern medicine, and the joys of living (un)healthily. With a cheerful, cheeky, and self-deprecating style, Dave has audiences wondering if he’s actually a practicing doctor (we think in a good way - they think he should be a comedian!).
After being told by a seasoned comic to "get a life" and a psychiatrist to "get a good strong girlfriend," Dave did one better: he got married, took a 10-year hiatus, and returned to comedy with a prescription for laughter. Since then, he’s had two sell-out performances at Breakneck Comedy in 2024 and has shared the stage with comedy heavyweights like Craig Campbell, Larry Dean, and Justin Moorhouse.
By day, he's a dedicated GP and university lecturer shaping the doctors of tomorrow; by night, he's the doctor making you laugh till it hurts. Come see why medicine and comedy make the perfect remedy!

Sylas Szabolcs, Transylvanian actor trained and based in the UK. Welcome!
I'm madly in love with stories and what we can achieve through them. I always found myself the centre of attention, probably because I was always trying to be the centre of attention, so I have decided to turn that into something meaningful.
In eight years acting has gone from a secret extra curricular activity that I pursued in tiny Transylvania to a budding profession in the UK market. Having finished Acting Coach Scotland's Intensive One Year course in the winter of 2017, I was finally ready to step into the business. However, life throws curveballs at us every now and again, so I decided to take some time off to deal with personal issues. But I returned in 2019 with a new ferocity that ended up securing my first TV role with the BBC. Since then the career has been going from strength to strength. I have had another role with the BBC, performed in London commissioned by the Liszt Institute, started doing stand-up, just finishing a play and have been creating weekly vlogs on Youtube as well as interviews with immigrant artists living in the UK. So yeah, life has been glorious. I'm proud of all the effort I've been putting in and humbly grateful for the opportunities coming my way.
Let's hustle.
