Your HEADLINER- Laura Lexx
Sweet-talking comedian Laura Lexx is the charming, cut-glass comic with added bite.
With her trademark pixie cropped hair and a twinkle in her eye, Laura is a natural storyteller who can tease a knowing grin from the most frustrated of millennials. Turning her own career insecurity, newly-wed stresses or feminist fears into cheerful frivolity for all, Laura has begun to make a real name for herself on the circuit, providing tour support for Jason Manford, Tim Vine and Russell Kane.
Star of Live at the Apollo (BBC Two), Hypothetical (Dave) and Roast Battle (Comedy Central)
Your OPENER- Mike Sheer
Canadian comic Mike Sheer's comedy jumps from light to dark, smart to stupid, low-brow to high.
With an engaging and affable stage presence, his focus on the moment means he blurs the line between compere and act – happy to give in to sudden crowd-sparked inspiration amongst crisp and gag-heavy routines.
He’s performed in fifteen countries and counting. This includes headlining and compering at theatres, clubs and pubs, as well as solo hours and compilations at festivals like Edinburgh Fringe, Adelaide Fringe, and Melbourne Comedy Festival.
Your HOST- Rhodri Buttrick
Rhodri is the club founder and has many years’ experience as a standup comic. His observational style can be described as a rare concoction of sarcasm and silliness. His lateral viewpoint lends itself to fun and unpredictable audience integration. This comes into play when he is hosting Stand and Deliver.

Stand and Deliver's June comedy showcase made for a brilliant night out for myself and a work colleague. Having seen many comedy shows such as tours, work-in-progress and similar showcase nights like this, I never know what to expect from a new one, but we both came away thoroughly impressed by the variety of acts, the welcoming and lively atmosphere throughout the venue, the ideal comfy seating in the cinema screen and our whole experience overall. By far the highlight for me was Abbie Edwards (not one of the headline acts), whose take on growing up in religious school and its after-effects kept me in stitches tonight - a real breath of fresh air and an act to watch, definitely! That said, all 4 acts had a host of original jokes and numerous hilarious highlights to offer, so well done to everyone involved. Thanks again to all of the staff, comedians and other folks responsible for making this excellent evening happen - we've every intent of coming back for more!
