Phill Jupitus: Juplicity

Phill became a familiar face when he started as team captain on BBC2’s Pop quiz Never Mind The Buzzcocks in 1996, which went on to run for 19 years. Aside from Never Mind the Buzzcocks and live stand up shows all over the UK, he also appears as a regular guest on QI (BBC2) and Alan Davies As yet Untitled (Dave) in 2012 returned to television stand-up for the first time since 2000 with an appearance on Live at the Apollo (BBC1).

On BBC Radio 4 Phill is a regular panellist of the award winning I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue and The Unbelievable Truth and was resident curator on The Museum of Curiosity. In addition he has presented numerous radio documentaries including, Phill Jupitus’ Comic Strips, Calvin and Hobbes and The Man Who Bought Hendrix’s Stage.

In his theatre work Phill has most recently appeared alongside Jason Manford in the 2015 UK touring production of The Producers as Franz Liebkind. In the winter of 2014 he appeared in the West End production of Urinetown in the role of Caldwell B. Cladwell at the Apollo Theatre. In 2011 Jupitus played King Arthur in the UK and Irish tour of Spamalot and he starred in Red Ladder Theatre’s ‘Big Society’ for 19 nights at the Leeds City Varieties the following year. Phill made his West End singing debut in the autumn of 2009 Phill playing Edna Turnblad in the hit musical Hairspray at The Shaftesbury Theatre, receiving critical acclaim for his performance.

Phill is 53 and lives by the sea in Essex (but real Essex, not the one on telly).

James Veitch: Dot Con

Suspicious emails: un-claimed insurance bonds, diamond-encrusted safety deposit boxes, close friends marooned in a foreign country. They pop-up in our inbox and standard procedure is to delete on sight. But what happens when you reply?

James Veitch has spent the past year responding to as many scam emails as he can. Packed full of Nigerian princes, can’t miss investment opportunities and eligible Russian brides, the correspondence leads to surprising, bizarre and usually hilarious results.

Through a blend of traditional standup, interactive projections and music, he takes the audience on a journey through the schemes, investigates the nature of scamming, examines its role in our connected world; and explores his own psyche as he tries to understand why he finds pushing these cyber con artists to their limits so very satisfying.

Quirky, fast-paced and relatable, It’s comedy for the modern world, a show for anyone with a dream…and an email account.

Gary Delaney: There’s Something About Gary

…and that something is he likes to write jokes. An awful lot of them.

Gary thinks a good joke should be like a drunk Glaswegian, short and punchy. His new tour show is not only great for people who like lots of jokes but also fun for people who enjoy getting offended by jokes too.
