Line Up

Catherine Cohen

Catherine Cohen is a comedian and voiceover artist living in Brooklyn. She was named by Time Out New York as one of five comedians to watch for in 2018. She hosts a weekly show at Alan Cumming’s new East Village cabaret, as well as the monthly variety show "It's A Guy Thing," which was listed as one of Paste Magazine’s “10 Best Alt Comedy Shows in New York City."

Catherine appeared in the last season of DIFFICULT PEOPLE on Hulu, and starred in an episode of Comedy Central’s digital series, SOMEONE’S IN HERE. Her work has been featured on Splitsider, The New Yorker, The Huffington Post and New York Mag's The Cut. Catherine graduated from Princeton University with a degree in English and Theater.

Kiri Pritchard-McLean

Welsh Comedian Kiri Pritchard-Mclean has been making something of a name for herself in the short time she's being performing stand up comedy and has achieved further success as one fourth of multi-award winning sketch group Gein's Family Giftshop (in capacity as writer/director). A unique and assured comic voice Kiri is whip smart with material to match, an apprenticeship on the North West comedy scene equips Kiri with a presence beyond her years and the rare ability to be challenging in her material without alienating her audience.

An increasingly impressive comic, making powerhouse standup from the thorniest of subjects” (The Guardian)

Best described as ‘darkness wrapped in glitter’ as she delivers some brutal jokes with a disarming smile” (Chortle)

"Intellectual chuckles from someone destined for higher praise indeed” (The Skinny)

Jack Barry

Jack is probably the only stand up on the circuit with a degree in Chinese. What a waste. Jack supported James Acaster on the UK tours of Edinburgh Award-nominated shows Prompt (2012), Lawnmower (2013), and Recognise (2014). He can also be seen on James Acaster’s web series Sweet Home Lahnsteineringa, and his recent television appearances include Catastrophe (Channel 4).

“An inventive flourish behind his likeable banter… a distinctive wit that should make him one to watch” Steve Bennett, Chortle

“I predict that Barry will be one to look out for in the future” Broadway Baby

“Instantly likeable” Three Weeks
