Sean Collins
Vancouver’s Sean Collins has certainly lived a full life which has influenced his comedy no end. Formerly a counsellor for kids with psychiatric problems he started comedy in 1990 and was soon named ‘Best Male Stand Up’ at the Canadian Comedy Awards. This was followed by a set at the prestigious Just For Laughs Gala in Montreal and his own hour long show on Canadian TV.
Sean’s laid-back, observational style will often see him perched on a stool, spinning tales that can be as personal as they are hilarious. Sean performs predominantly in the UK with appearances on BBC’s Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and The Real Variety Showcase keeping his corporate diary very busy indeed.

Ingrid Dahle
From deep in the fjords of Norway, Ingrid has sprung forth making a big impact on the UK comedy scene. Blending her innate oddness, a love of British culture and unique physical comedy, Ingrid reached the final of So You Think You’re Funny, won Brighton Comedy Festival’s inaugural Squawker Comedy Award and took her first show to Edinburgh, all within the first 18 months of performing. In 2015 Ingrid became runner up in the prestigious Leicester Mercury Comedian Of The Year.
Blessed with a fiercely creative imagination, Ingrid is now involved in expanding her comedy horizons by branching out into filmed sketches, short films and a regular podcast, all the while honing her live set and bringing her distinctive brand of beautiful weirdness to a larger audience.
After her success with debut show Wingrid in Edinburgh, Ingrid is currently supporting the fantastic comedian Jen Brister on her tour Meaningless.
