Meet the comics

Stephen Carlin

Recently seen on BBC’s “Comedy Underground” and Comedy Central’s “Alternative Comedy Experience”, Stephen Carlin has just completed a sell out run of his latest show “Pickwickian” at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Carlin has gained critical acclaim and a growing fan base with his original, insightful material and his accomplished delivery. He is increasingly expanding his following on the international comedy scene performing this year across Asia and Europe.

Chosen as one of Stewart Lee’s “Ten Best Stand Up Comedians Ever” Carlin has supported Stewart Lee, Stephen Merchant & Tom Stade on their British tours.

As always, Carlin’s art lies in his ability to quarry wildly original material from the most conventional of starting points. By taking run-of-the-mill observations and then applying his relentless but warped logic. This married to his exceptional use of language and his brilliantly opinionated broadsides make for memorable routines. All skilfully delivered in his deadpan Scottish brogue.

Stephen is an experienced writer and has written for many BBC Shows including the Now Show and the Newsquiz. He is the author of a Comedy Blog, which hilariously exposes the many facets of a life lived in comedy.

Press

“This is laconic laced with Red Bull, material so thoughtful you would put your house on (him) reinventing the knock knock joke... announcing the arrival of a new comedy original.”

Herald

Pierre Hollins is a comedian and writer

Pierre@pierrehollins.com

Pierre Hollins has been a comedy circuit favourite for many years, and has headlined clubs throughout UK, Europe, Middle East and Asia.

He is… always enjoyable, often inspired… THE SOURCE.

He has… an easy going joyful manner, laced and juxtaposed with pathos and reality that only an experienced comedian and earthling can bring you…TAKING THE PISTE TOUR.

He should be… made the mayor of a small village… SHANGHAI CITY WEEKEND. A hugely likeable cheekie chappie and unlikely rock god who whipped the crowd into a state of near euphoria. THE LATEST.

Random facts: Pierre Hollins used to perform as a comedy acrobat and unicyclist. His first guitar was a one-string electric squash racquet (still in use at festival gigs). He used to wash dishes in the House of Commons.

Pierre’s first novel The Karma Farmers is being published early this year by Unbound.
