Brummie comedian & writer, Karen Bayley is the first ever female winner of the prestigious Comedy Store King Gong Award. The same year she reached the finals of the BBC New Comedy Award & The Babycham Funny Women Award.
A regular guest on BBC Radio 5 Live , Karen’s television appearances include The Last Word, Take The Mike, Sex On The Job and 100 Greatest Cartoons.
She recently completed an extensive UK and overseas tour, supporting Joe Lycett. Karen has also written for Joe on Celebrity Juice and 8 Out of 10 Cats.
Karen is passionate about sport, especially her beloved football team West Bromwich Albion. Regular radio appearances talking about rugby, motor racing and football led to Karen being nicknamed “Geezer Bird”. Not that she minded, in fact Karen embraced all that this entails in her hit 2015 Edinburgh solo show, whilst still aspiring to slap on some lippy and slip on some heels.
As an actress Karen is best known for her role as the Holloway Prison Warden in the multi BAFTA winning film LONGFORD, directed by Tom Hooper and starring Samantha Morton as ‘Myra Hindley’ and Jim Broadbent as ‘Lord Longford’. Karen is also fondly remembered for playing Paul Whitehouse’s ‘Goth’ wife in a series of adverts for Aviva.
Prior to comedy, Karen had a successful career as a primary school teacher and before teaching she worked as a professional dancer. Throw her a pair of tap shoes and she can still hot shoe shuffle!

Peter Wood is a Scottish Comedian who has been gigging several years on the Scottish Comedy Scene. He has gigged all over Scotland. Working with some of the biggest names in Scotland. He has been to finals for competitions, and is proud to be a resident MC. He has headlined many shows. Over the years as he's switched from punchline gag to story, his confidence has soared.

One of the best comedians that the North East of Scotland has produced (Naz Hussian, Breakneck Comedy)

Iain Duncan has a simple reason for being on stage: 'It was this or argue with strangers on the internet.' After a childhood that felt like a targeted bullying campaign and an adulthood spent touring in various bands, he's emerged with a uniquely hilarious take on the human condition.
He explores the universal truths we all feel—the confusion of modern life, the quiet panic of getting older, and the strange comfort of looking back and realising 'everything is different’.
