The Live Floor Show
Dara O' BriainDARA O'BRIAIN
After becoming a household name in Ireland with Don't Feed the Gondolas, the satirical panel show, your host Dara stepped into the mainstream with the hit mid-evening show It's a Family Affair. Since then his profile on the comedy circuit has made him a regular on television's top stand-up showcases, including Never Mind The Buzzcocks, The Stand-up Show and Bring me the Head of Light tv.
The Rev REV. OBADIAH STEPPENWOLFE III
The Reverend is not your average holy man. With his heavy metal music, black leather, sunglasses and love of hot tub bible classes, he cuts a pretty intimidating figure. He is a true two-fisted Tennessee trailer-trash TV evangelist. The Rev appeared as a regular on the Live Floor Show, for which he was nominated for a Scottish BAFTA Best Newcomer Award. He's ready to spread the word of the Lord nationwide.
Matt Blaize MATT BLAIZE
Matt's engaging style and winning way with words bely his status as a relative newcomer to the comedy circuit. Last year, Matt won the Leicester Mercury Comic Of The Year, Carlton Television's Take The Mic and was a finalist at the Hackney Empire Best New Act Award. TV credits include the Weakest Link Comedy Special and I Love Jamaica Documentary.
Craig Hill CRAIG HILL
I
n 1999 Craig's unique blend of cheeky and camp comedy and musical parody was launched on an unsuspecting Edinburgh Fringe to great acclaim. Since then he has had three sell-out solo shows. He was a regular guest in the first two series of Live Floor Show for BBC Scotland and has also starred in his own radio series Craig Hill's Passionate Encounters. Craig recently joined in the fun at New Year with millions of viewers on BBC Scotland's Hogmanay Live 2002.
Al Murray AL MURRAY
Pull up a stool and join the Pub Landlord at the Guv'nor's gaff, as he shares his special brand of Common Sense Values and Great British Rules. Perrier Award winner Al Murray's creation lives in a world where alcoholics are known as "publicans' friends", where men are men and pub dogs are pub dogs. A reality where you have to understand that, "rules is rules, and if we didn't have rules then where would we be, eh? That's right, FRANCE!" And, don't forget, it's: "pint for the fella, glass of white wine/fruit based drink for the lady."
Men in Coats MEN IN COATS
A totally original comedy experience. Absurd and delirious, as funny as it is clever, there are no easy predictable routes to comedy for these boys. This explosive duo have gone from winning the Hackney Empire Best New Act Award in 2001 to being one of the most talked about live comedy acts of 2002. After returning from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where they performed their full-length show to sell-out audiences and critical acclaim, they ended 2002 with their command appearance at The Royal Variety Show.
