Opening the show is Northern Irish comic Matthew McAloone! From being one of the BBC Comedy Award contenders for 2015, it’s been nothing but up the Northern Irish storyteller, who’s confident stage presence and sharp writing make me a must see act.
Picking up from where he kicked off in 2020, hosting Theo Von at the iconic Shepherds Bush Empire, Matthew went global again for 2022. Based in London, you never have to wait too long to see Matthew again at any of the top clubs.
With Lateef Lovejoy! With the comedian and actor Lateef Lovejoy! Lateef is an extremely gifted entertainer, who made his show business debut as a witty 12 year old on ITV’s famous morning gameshow ‘Mousetrap’. After that experience on the big screen he has never looked back. Not many performers can boast of having exceptional skills in all the main areas of the performing arts, Lateef has these multi-faceted skills in abundance! Lateef also has tremendous comedic talent and is one of the most unique and distinctive acts on the comedy circuit, and vastly gaining the reputation of becoming a force to be reckoned with, both on the Black, Mainstream, and International comedy circuits.
His skillful blending of stand-up and impressions has also been showcased on ITV’s Young, Gifted, and Broke, and also on national comedy search “Take The Mike”.
