Neil Skene

Neil is an accomplished motivational and humorous after dinner speaker and Scotland’s only blind comedian, as Neil says “if there’s another, I’ve not seen them”. Neil can adjust his many tales and stories to suit any occasion and his humour goes down well with male and female audiences alike and is perfect for corporate occasions or as a solo cabaret act.

Neil has also recently supported Karen Dunbar on her Scottish tour & Judy Murray at The Music Hall.

Mikey Motion

After 17 years in the Hardcore Rave Scene, Mikey decided to follow his dreams and parachuted right into the Stand Up Comedy scene in 2018!After writing Comedy and filming and sharing sketches on Social media for 12 years, gathering over 13 million views on one of his sketches, he decided to move into Live Comedy Performance! Since then he has been gigging all over, building up a good reputation opening nights as well as headline and has a strong following who attend his gigs.He performed at numerous shows in the 2021 Edinburgh Fringe , including Wrong Comedy & Imrpov Provocateur where he picked up a handsome certificate for coming 1st place in the sold out improv panel show!Mikey, also co-runs, The huge Laugh In The Park, Summer outdoor Event in Queens park & The Colossus "Laugh Or Cry" in The Classic Grand, along side Al Twisted, both Sold Out Shows! Mikey has been keeping busy running a new night and crafting his material every week hosting every Thursday night in Glasgow's newest Comedy Club, in the heart of Glasgow - "Vibe Room Comedy""Mikey Motion has that skill of being many things at once. He‘sself deprecating but you don’t feel sorry for him. You admire his brass neck for sharing these things with you. He makes you laugh at stories about how bad in bed he is while still being the coolest guy in the room. What a c*nt. - Viv Gee"Mikey is a rogue that mixes positive vibes with big laughs, smiling from the second he hits the stage, you know it's a good time coming" - Billy Kirkwood"Mikey Motion's got those funny bones" - Darren Connell
