KEVIN BRIDGES

Kevin Bridges started stand up shortly after his 17th birthday, since his first gig he has shot through the ranks of the Scottish comedy scene. He reguarly works all over Scotland, most notably at the Stand comedy clubs in Glasgow and Edinburgh, where he is a regular headliner, support and resident compere of his own monthly show.

Kevin also had a highly successful Edinburgh festival debut where he featured in ''The best of Scottish comedy'' and was a finalist in Channel 5 / Paramount's ''So you think your funny? 2005'' competition.

''The guy was brilliant, an exceptional young comedian. A superstar in the making'' One4review.com

''Young comedy prodigy'' The Guardian

''His confidence is astonishing. His patter is crude, natural, truthful and hilarious'' Sunday Herald

TONY LITTLER

Despite having only been performing comedy since 2005, Mark Nelson has firmly established himself on the comedy circuit by scooping the coveted Scottish Comedian of the Year title in 2006. His mix of dark humour, cutting observations and clever one-liners mean Nelson has become a solidly consistent and excellent stand-up to be reckoned with. His talents are so highly thought of he charted at number 62 in The List magazine's 100 Hottest Scottish Stars of 2006.

Mark, 26, triumphed at the inaugural Scottish Comedian of the Year competition in September last year at a showcase event in Glasgow 's Old Fruitmarket in front of an esteemed panel of judges and an audience of over 300. In winning the contest he had to see off the efforts of comedians with vastly more experience and following from around the country.

With an effortless, likeable manner on stage and confident delivery, Nelson often has audiences laughing at things they know they really shouldn't be laughing at. He has recently performed his first ever one man show at the Glasgow Comedy Festival, a show which sold out 3 weeks in advance. He has also recently supported Andrew Maxwell.
