Craig
Hackney Empire New Act of the Year, star
of Star Stories
and Northumberland under 13's badminton champion 1992,
Fergus
Craig still watches Neighbours.
He'll explain why by showing you clips from
the show
and some home movies from his childhood.
If nothing else Jim Robinson's
death will be a hoot.
'With
killer lines, great delivery and a delightful dollop of surprises,
Craig was
class' The
Stage
'has
a refreshingly different take'
Julian Hall, The Independent
&
Isy
Suttie and Gavin Osbourne
Isy and
Gavin perform witty and heartfelt comedy songs together,
with recent appearances
at London Bloomsbury and Hammersmith Apollo.
Isy,
best known as Dobby from Channel 4's Peep Show,
has two sell-out Edinburgh
shows to her name
and is a regular on BBC Radio, writing on and performing
in shows including
Laurence and Gus: Hearts and Minds and Danny Robins Music
Therapy
and Out To Lunch. Having toured the UK and Australia with comedian
Daniel Kitson,
Gavin Osborn has just released
his second album, Meeting Your Heroes,
and specialises in songs about love,
nostalgia, break-ups and girls.
And, occasionally, burgers, clown-suits and
cryogenic freezing.
A lyrical feast for the wistful, the hopeful, the lovelorn
and the losers.
"Funny
and touching" Stewart
Lee, The Sunday Times

real talent' The
Guardian

bright-eyed and relaxed, he melds rhythm and timing
with a polished and honest
delivery. A pleasure to watch'
