Liam Farrelly is a scottish comedy sensation that recently made an appearance on BBC's Live at The Apollo.
Liam embarked on his comedic journey at a young age, starting at 17 while still in High School. His rapid ascent in the comedy scene led to numerous award nominations and wins. Notably, he made a guest appearance on BBC Scotland’s Scot Squad and has graced the stages of renowned comedy clubs like Breakneck Comedy Club & Hot Water Comedy Club in Liverpool, and the esteemed Comedy Stores in London and Manchester—all within a year of his debut.
Liam's comedic style revolves around personal anecdotes, particularly drawn from his unique family dynamics. With relatives ranging from nuns to a parent with MS who humorously embraces self-deprecation, his storytelling is both relatable and engaging. Critics have praised his self-referential humor and personal narratives, noting a captivating blend of wit and authenticity in his performances.
"Self-referential asides and personal material… there’s a funny and interesting spark here" Chortle
"Frighteningly young first act Liam Farrelly is going to have to get used to the Kevin Bridges comparisons or have elocution lessons… it was apparent that this was a young man with natural storytelling talent… Impressive stuff that earned Farrelly the runner-up spot fans" Beyond The Joke
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!
Excellent… Exciting… Egg-mayonnaise are some of the many words Matthew Ross can spell. Born, bred, and breeding in Aberdeen. He’s lost count of how many gigs he’s played (he can’t count). This local funny man will leave many asking the question “Is this really comedy?”
