Double Headliner Show
This show is scheduled to be an epic double headliner show with extended sets from two top acts!
Mark Cram
For over 10 years Mark has been plying his comedy trade across the UK. Constantly evolving, usually unpredictable; he is garnering positive reactions everywhere he goes.
A bisexual comedian with a unique take on the LGBT community; Mark thrills crowds with his tales of dead-end jobs, his family and being the less than grateful winner of Bedford Comedian of the Year.
Having gigged with some big names and having become a regular at some of London’s top comedy clubs, Mark is an act not to be missed.
Chelsea Birkby
Chelsea performs her smart, silly and open-hearted stand-up at the UK's top comedy clubs and has been invited to perform in New York, Paris and Dusseldorf? She has taken two critically acclaimed and double-award-nominated solo stand-up shows to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
She can be seen on BBC, heard on Radio 4, 5Live, Times Radio and various podcasts. She's written for several series of BBC's Mock The Week as well as for BBC Radio 4 and on RHLSTP. Her writing has been featured in The Independent and the Metro.
Your HOST Dan Collins
Dan brings highly electric energy and bizarre, whimsical hilarity to every comedy club, theatre stage and festival tent he sets foot upon. When not performing standup this multi talented mad-man is an actor and cartoonist.

Brilliant experience. A bit pricey, but understandable as it was a small venue.

Stand and Deliver's June comedy showcase made for a brilliant night out for myself and a work colleague. Having seen many comedy shows such as tours, work-in-progress and similar showcase nights like this, I never know what to expect from a new one, but we both came away thoroughly impressed by the variety of acts, the welcoming and lively atmosphere throughout the venue, the ideal comfy seating in the cinema screen and our whole experience overall. By far the highlight for me was Abbie Edwards (not one of the headline acts), whose take on growing up in religious school and its after-effects kept me in stitches tonight - a real breath of fresh air and an act to watch, definitely! That said, all 4 acts had a host of original jokes and numerous hilarious highlights to offer, so well done to everyone involved. Thanks again to all of the staff, comedians and other folks responsible for making this excellent evening happen - we've every intent of coming back for more!

We laughed from start to finish, which I don't think I've ever done at a standup show. We had a great evening out.
