Patrick Monahan
Award-winning, infectiously charming, and ridiculously funny. Patrick’s a feel-good whirlwind of laughs – even Time Out admits he’s “the nicest person ever born.”

Simon Amstell
Smart, sharp, and slightly surreal. Former host of Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Popworld, now with his own Netflix special. Catch him live before your screen does.
