Paul engages his audience in sassy, fast paced comedy, with his own unique take on modern life. Star of Comedy Central, MTV, West End and Edinburgh Festival, this guy has the stand up world in the palm of his hand!
Annette Fagon ''With this sort of retro observational comedy, she's just like Peter Kay would be - well, if he were female, black and from Leicester'' - Chortle.
Annette's motor mouth approach to comedy is compelling and has seen her perform at Nottingham Playhouse and a host of other UK venues. Hear her take on everything from hoodies to Beyonce. A comedy triumph!
