Albert’s Comedy Shed #2
Simon Wozniak
Simon Wozniak is a scouse comedian who has had a meteoric rise through the bowels of the comedy industry making it now to headline all the major comedy clubs all over the UK with his charming yet hard hitting style. He’s still typically modest and says about himself “Not much to say really. I have two pairs of jeans for all purposes, work and recreation, mix and match. I’m a part-time contact lens wearer, full-time glasses wearer. I’ve got no thigh gap and I still drink Capri-Suns at the age of 26.”

“Very funny” – Justin Moorhouse, Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights
MC Ricky Balshaw
BBC New Comedy Award semi-finalist Ricky Balshaw is a former Paralympic, World Championship and European Championship dressage medallist, and sports pundit, with a penchant for dark humour. Join Ricky for a reliably twisted and hilarious look at the unique social and physical challenges he faces as a disabled person as well as having his masculinity challenged just because he rides horses.

Lovdev Barpaga
UK national pun champion Luvdev’s routine includes puns on veganism, trains, the Oscars, gorillas, baking, Facebook, clouds, parents, monarchs, snow and pizza.
