Peter Rethinasamay, born and raised in Belfast to a Malaysian father and Irish mother, is a comedian with hard hitting, punchy jokes and hilarious tales of growing up in Northern Ireland.
Since he started performing stand up, he has reached the semi-finals of the Laughing Horse New Act Competition and won the London Comedy Store’s King Gong Competition. Recently Peter has been supporting Judi Love, Seann Walsh, Kerry Godliman, Russell Kane and Tom Allen on tour around the UK.
Combining his love of comedy writing and acting (he was a member of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain), Peter has been on Comedy Central Live! And last year he appeared in The Heist Before Christmas, alongside Timothy Spall, which was a movie made for Sky, directed by Edward Hall. Other recent credits include Ted Lasso (Apple TV), Apprentice: You’re Fired (BBC), short film Us & In Between, and Peter is soon to be seen in Changing Ends (ITV).
Sol Bernstein is the man who helped the career’s of Elvis Presley. Marcel Marceau (never even got a “thank you”) and even the Beatles were influenced. He’s worked with, and been friends with, some of the worlds GREATEST performers; Judy Garland, The Rat Pack, Lenny Bruce, Jack Benny, George Burns, Milton Berle, Doris Day, Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe and Eddie Large.
He’s performed all over the world at venues including The London Palladium, New York’s Carnegie Hall, The Paris Olympia, Caesars Palace Las Vegas, and Scunthorpe Baths, but it’s at comedy clubs where Sol really comes to life. His charisma, his style, his catch phrase “why don’t you put on a tie” his chutzpah, put it all together and you get the magic that is Sol Bernstein.
MC Danny McLoughlin has the sharp wit & material, likeable persona and strong stage presence that have seen him become a much sought after act in his short time as a stand up.
A finalist in the Chortle Student Comedian of The Year in 2008, Danny went on to perform as part of the prestigious Big Value Comedy Show during Edinburgh Festival 2009. He also supported Al Pitcher on his UK Tour and is booked by some of the UK’s biggest gigs and promoters.
It has been a rapid rise for Danny and it all looks set to continue. With an amiable, confident stage presence and a well written set Danny delivers material with more than just an immediate pay-off line, preferring to take the joke one or two steps further. Confident enough to take a risk on stage he does so not to the detriment of the audience, keeping them laughing along or hanging on every word
