  • Philfy Phil A.K.A. Phil Alexander (Musical Comedian)

    I'm Phil Alexander, singer of silly songs and igniter of lyrical fireworks. I have been entertaining people round camp fires, at parties and musical open mics for more decades than I care to remember. For some totally inexplicable reason, I had the stage name "Philfy Phil" bestowed upon me, and since then have striven to live up to it.

    It took me quite a long time to realize that people find my stuff really rather funny, and they might actually be right (a lot of people seem to think I'm a good guitarist, too, and I know they're not right about that). So in 2012, I set out on a whole new direction, trying to make a name for myself on the comedy circuit.
    Since then, I have performed at comedy nights as often as time, resources and an ageing Rover 75 have allowed, and have generally tried to entertain and leave audiences thinking "you know, I really didn't think anyone could make that kind of subject matter funny"

  • Fred Ferenczi (Character Comic)

    Fred Ferenczi began stand-up in 2001 and clocked up some 500 gigs in that time, performing all over the UK, at least twice a week. ‘Glee’ described Fred as “Kaufmanesque, great use of time” and Steve Bennett (Chortle) said “Fred could become quite the cult.” Chesham Comedy Club call Fred is “brilliantly weird”. He has performed at numerous festivals including Edinburgh, Leicester, Brighton, Citadel and Wilderness (the latter two, where he curates a massively popular comedy tent).


    Fred has been a finalist in the national Silver Comedian competition in 2012, 2013 and 2016 (Steve Bennett’s tip for the title) near miss for the title). Fred works equally well on conventional as alternative bills.
    Hard to define, here are some more quotes to give a sense (sic) of Fred, but you really need to see him live…
    “Without doubt the most marvellous and memorable act I have even seen”. (Ian Hall)
    “I thought you were great. I love the no liners.” - Andrew Bird.
    “We’ve had some great feedback about your act…people were literally crying with laughter” - Mock Tudor Comedy Club
    Increasingly in demand for comedy acting roles, and can be heard in later 2016 as “Ash” in radio sitcom “Slaving Away” by/ starring Miranda Kane, and on ‘ViceTV’ in a comedy about a deluded Panda.
    Fred has a website (fredferenczi.moonfruit.com) where you can see a video taster from Tringe Comedy Festival 2014, and you can follow Fred on FB and Twitter.

  • Stuart Gill (Writer)

    Writer, lover, comrade and 'Song and Dance man' Stuart has been honing his writing skills for many years now with graphic novels and sitcoms (writing, not reading or watching) ready for an all out attack on the mainstream media. 

    He's 6' 2" with eyes as big as jammy dodgers and legs up the Ying Yang. His background in martial arts and circus clownery have set him up just right for comedy podcasts or street battles. The future sure looks bright for this young 'go getter' who, by the way, is available for kids parties, séances and writing anything at all (but he's not desperate)
