Our headliner Matt Richardson is a multi-award winning stand-up comedian and one of the most exciting names on the circuit currently rising through the ranks. Having started stand-up in 2009 at just 18 years old he soon made it through to the finals of two national stand-up competitions – the prestigious So You Think You're Funny and the Chortle Student Comedy Award.

Since then Matt has firmly established himself as one of the UK's most exciting young performers and presenters – hosting the drive-time show on Virgin Radio. His TV credits include co-hosting the Xtra Factor and I'm a Celebrity Get Me out of here Now to name a few. Come and see him live in our beautiful venue.

'High wattage charisma from a talented young comic who's star is on the rise' The Guardian

'Hilarious and Charming' The Mirror

Opening the show is Gareth Richards, as seen on Russell Howard's Good News (BBC2)
Live at the Electric (BBC3) and heard live on Radio 1!

Gareth has also co-hosted Frank Skinner's Sony award-winning Absolute Radio show for two years and supported Frank on his recent tour. His hilarious stand-up, silly jokes and gorgeously low-key comedy songs have made him an instant favourite on the comedy circuit.

"A delightful hour of comedy" The Guardian

Plus rising star Ola Labib who is known for her infectious charm, edgy comedy material and wry humour. Being the only Black, Muslim, female, Sudanese comedian currently performing in the UK she has already gained serious ground on the circuit and has no intention of slowing down and we look forward to welcoming her to Coastal Comedy.
