HEADLINER – ROB ROUSE

Comic’s Comic Best Act Award winner 2025 and star of BBC’s Upstart Crow, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Spoons, Sean Lock’s 15 Storey High and Dave’s One Night Stand, Rob Rouse is one of comedy’s most lively, loveable and dynamic performers. Rob won Channel 4’s Prestigious So You Think You’re Funny competition at the Edinburgh Festival in way back in 1998. He’s one of our best comic storytellers, has performed all over the world and works long form narratives into hard-hitting, uncompromising hilarious tales filled with warmth and a sense of compassion for our collective human frailties.

One of my favourite comics. A very silly and funny man” – GREG DAVIES

“Rob is always hilarious, and has total command, without fail he leaves a room vibrant and joyful” – NINA CONTI

“I have been helpless with laughter watching Rob on stage. Pure, joyful, hilarious stand up. He’s one of the best there is. He’s a very silly man. Very silly indeed” – MARCUS BRIGSTOCKE

“He’s a man with genuinely funny bones” – SUNDAY TIMES 

“A born clown” – TIME OUT

OPENER – SEETA WRIGHTSON (replacing Molly McGuinness)

Seeta Wrightson is a stand-up comedian and writer from Bradford, living in Leeds.

A BBC New Comedy Awards semi-finalist, Seeta travels the length and breadth of the country using her high energy comedy style and cleverly crafted jokes to tell stories of her mixed heritage, working class upbringing and offbeat observations. She supported Kiri Pritchard-McClean on her Peacock tour.

In 2025 Seeta was one of the winners of the BBC Sponsored Female Pilot Club for her pilot sitcom script. Following on from that win, she was invited to comedy writer rooms alongside Bafta winning writers. In 2025, she was also commissioned to co-write her debut play for Red Ladder Theatre, which toured in November and December 2025.

Seeta turned her hand to voice acting with five different roles in a BBC Radio play to celebrate Bradford’s 2025 City of Culture and has a small role in a Channel 4 sketch, which will be broadcast in 2026. A regular on panels talks for awareness days, corporate events and on BBC radio as an interviewee or guest, Seeta is also a co-host of Love In’t North Podcast, with Jack Carroll and Pete Selwood.

As an advocate of diverse comedy, Seeta facilitates comedy workshops to support more global majority women into comedy, with Bradford University.

MC – RUNI TALWAR

Having recently moved from Sydney to London, Runi is an incredibly exciting up and coming stand-up comedian and writer with a unique brand of canny irreverent comedy.

Alongside being an award-nominated stand-up comedian, Runi is an accomplished improviser, being among the first graduating class of Improv Theatre Sydney as well as training at iO Chicago and Second City.

As a writer, Runi has written for ABC Australia, SBS Australia in addition to TV and radio panel shows such as Hypothetical, Have I Got News For You, The Now Show and BBC News Quiz.
