Headliner: Harry Stachini

Harry Stachini’s stand-up and crowd work clips have amassed hundreds of millions of views across his social media.

A masterful storyteller with one of the most amiable and easy-going stage presences on the comedy circuit today. Now a regular at the UK circuit's top comedy clubs ‘The Comedy Store’ and festivals. Harry has continued to rise beyond the comedy ladder of the UK to become an international headliner performing at ‘The Laughter Factory’, Dubai’s major comedy club. On top of that, Harry has headlined shows in Australia at the renowned ‘Comedy Lounge’ in Perth and completed a three-month tour of Australia’s major comedy festivals, Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane. Performing as part of the highly prestigious and long-standing ‘Mary Tobin Presents - Best of The Edinburgh Festival’.

Harry performed his debut Fringe show ‘Tiger’s Don’t Cry’ to sell-out audiences in 2019. Since then, Harry has gone on to perform for sell-out audiences in his now hometown of Manchester. His second solo show, 'Grenade' was a roaring success at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, having achieved a complete sold-out run, alongside a host of 4 & 5 reviews and a best show nomination. Praised for his "Modern observational storytelling at its best" (On The Mic) and "Polished performance, honest observations and relatable material" (Scottish Field) Harry's show 'Grenade’ is a "Comically tight show. His anecdotes are funny as they're outrageous" (Edinburgh Festival Mag) and his "Laughs per minute must break some kinds of records... Stachini’s relentless pace and quick delivery... kicks up the energy in the room so that it never settles... a perfect show for anyone who wants to laugh and will tick every box for a comedy fan. Not to be missed" (Pepper & Salt).

His online videos have amassed hundreds of millions of views across his social media. His first podcast series, The Staff Room Podcast (where teachers share their anonymous stories from the classroom) was nominated for Best Comedy at The British Podcast Awards. Watch out for his latest podcast, All Made Up, which brings storytelling alive alongside guests such as Daniel Sloss, Jason Bryne and many more. He has already worked alongside some of the best names in the industry, including Russell Kane, Milton Jones, Jason Byrne and Jessica Fostekew to name a few, and he will no doubt become a name to look out for in the future. 

Opening Act: Jordan Ducharme

Jordan is a Canadian born comedian on the rise. 

​From humble beginnings starting in Vancouver (CA), Jordan worked hard to become a solid comedian on the local circuit. Not only performing comedy regularly in the city but hosting and producing a variety of shows. 

Jordan began comedy hoping to adopt the witty and gritty type of humour that made him fall in love with stand up as a teenager. He's continued to mature into a competent powerhouse on stage, with no subject off limits and no stone left unturned in his own life. 

​Moving to Manchester in 2019, Jordan was quick to make a big splash, quickly winning the local clubs gong show competitions and transitioning them into work at said clubs.
