Jasper Cromwell-Jones
“Very funny” – Harry Hill Easily one of our audience’s favourite acts we have ever had at The Stand-Up Club, buffoonish and very posh ‘explorer’ Jasper Cromwell-Jones may not be a big TV name but he is one of the funniest comedians around. You will go away buzzing with laughter. Creator of Jasper Cromwell-Jones, Joe Bor, currently does TV warm up for ‘The Graham Norton Show’ and Mock The Week and has previously warmed-up audiences on TV shows including ‘Alan Carr Chatty Man’ and ’8 Out of 10 Cats’. He regularly performs at top comedy clubs around the country. “The high gag rate puts many other character comics to shame.” – Guardian. |

Andy Stedman
“Stedman displays a real talent in playing to his audience, creating a friendly rapport which gives the show much of its charm. His songs are genuinely funny” – BROADWAY BABY
Andy is one of the most popular comedians we have here at The Stand-Up Club and a regular MC for us. With a mix of jokes, comedy songs and plenty of audience interaction Andy is never afraid to indulge in some friendly back-and-forth with the crowd, creating a real party atmosphere as host. With two full Edinburgh shows under his belt and over a thousand comedy gigs, Andy has made a quick transition from professional singer-songwriter to professional comedian. “Bang on trend” – Bruce Dessau, LONDON EVENING STANDARD “His voice is sure to melt hearts.” – CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE |

Deane Dixon-Foster Dark, daft and dangerously relatable — Deane blends sharp storytelling with dry, self-deprecating wit to explore relationships, masculinity, and cultural chaos — all from the perspective of a man who seems permanently one step behind what’s going on. He was a semi finalist in 2024 SYTYF, 3rd place Max Turner Prize 2025, Beat The Blackout winner and finalist of Reading new comedian of the year 2025. From Albanian girlfriends to stolen deodorant, his comedy turns real-life awkwardness into cleverly crafted absurdity. |

Ray “Grandad” Johnson Ray “Grandad” Johnson is a late bloomer, beginning his comedy career well into what seems likely to be his 90’s (or even more!). His hilarious one-liners are silly and clever at the same time, but most of all very funny indeed. |
