Michael Redmond

There are not many people who have been struck by lightning and lived to tell the tale. While this may not have actually happened to Michael Redmond himself, it is a fate which befell his character Father Stone – one of the more memorable creations of C4’s classic comedy Father Ted.

There is something of a lightning strike victim in Michael. With his shock of white hair, droopy black moustache and a face that the phrase hangdog expression was invented for, he was born to perform deadpan comedy. It is a difficult style for any comedian, but with his physical headstart he has gone on to prove himself a master over the past fifteen years. Michael has that rare physical presence that is capable of getting audiences rolling with laughter without having to say a word. But when you add to this his natural gifts of precision timing and outrageously well-crafted material, the results can be almost tortuously hysterical.

Aidan Strangeman

Stand back everyone, Aidan Strangeman has a bomb: A musical comedy bomb! You’ll be hilariously maimed by his destructively catchy songs before you finally succumb to horrific, rib-shattering happiness. You’re welcome. Front row not recommended. Winner of the 2014 ‘So you think you’re funny’ competition in Edinburgh.
