“Genius 5 ” Telegraph

No stranger to either the strange or the norm, he will put an amusing spin on any subject matter going. John has a reputation for thinking on his feet and confidently and cleverly adapting his show to any audience making him a huge hit with Corporate Clients.

Opening Comedian – Otiz Cannelloni
“Don’t we have laws against this sort of thing?” South China Morning Post
Billing himself as a “Reluctant Messiah, Man of the People and an O’Level in Woodwork” – Otiz Cannelloni has been variously described as a comic genius, a phenomenon and someone you’ve never heard of! More at home in front of a live audience than he is in his own front room, Otiz’s unique mix of mirth, magic, mystery and madness, delights crowds as diverse in range as 12 people in a smoky pub to a full house in the West End’s Duke of York Theatre

Headline Comedian – Junior Simpson
Richard And Judy (ITV), Big Brother’s Big Mouth (C4), Armstrong & Miller Show (C4), Casualty (BBC), The Comic Side of Seven Days (BBC), Blankety Blank (LWT)
With his infectious energy and huge stage presence it is easy to see why Junior Simpson is a circuit favourite. Simpson has a boundless joy and exuberance that has audiences hooked with hilarity. A true observational comic Simpson finds his humour in the everyday and humdrum with anecdotes of his world travels as a comedian adding a personal originality to his set. Although mischievous and daring, Simpson is never crass or crude and can tailor his set to suit any audience making him a favourite for warm up, TV and corporate work.
