He has performed sell-out shows at the Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, and Edinburgh festivals, and has supported comedians like Jason Manford, Russell Kane, and Mo Gilligan on their world tours.

Green has been described as having “the elasticity of Jim Carrey; the character range of Robin Williams; the absurdity of Eddie Izzard; and the energy of Lee Evans,” all blended with his own unique storytelling style.

Alun Cochrane, another award-winning stand-up comic, is also on the bill.

Cochrane has made appearances on various TV shows, including Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Russell Howard’s Good News, Mock The Week, and Have I Got News For You.

He was a series regular in the Sky Living sitcom Trying Again and has had guest spots in Coronation Street, Boomers, and Russell Howard’s Christmas film A Gert Lush Christmas.

Cochrane has also made a name for himself in radio, featuring regularly on BBC Radio 4’s The Comedy Club and other shows such as The Now Show and Just A Minute.

His talent has been recognised with several awards, including a Chortle Award for Best Breakthrough Act and a Writer’s Guild Award for Comedy.

Jack Gleadow, known for his high-energy, quirky performances, is also part of the line-up.

​Gleadow’s performances often include a mix of physical comedy, witty storytelling, and audience interaction.

He has received several accolades, including the Amused Moose National New Comic Award in 2017 and the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year Award in 2018.
