O’shea & Ogilvie
Good quality hilarious comedy duos are hard to come by these days, but Comediennes, comperes and writers from Devon Marina Oshea and Lucy Ogilvie are definitely just that. Performing their sketches, stand-up and other wonderful silly things up and down the country these two have burst onto the comedy scene in their unique way.

Jessica Pidsley
Fans of theatre, Radio four and, well the media will know and probably love this lady, but now she is hitting Edinburgh with her debut show I can make you thin(k). With her busy inner monologue, her new show will be an amazing success, attracting a lot of people, and then you never know she may well get the world domination she’s been after.

Lou Sanders
So here we have Lou Sanders, another hilariously laugh-out-loud funny comedienne (Aren’t they all?). “55 minutes spent with Lou Sanders is 55 minutes ram packed with lovely little ideas and a whole heap of different styles of comedy” is what the British Comedy Guide had to say and even as I was emailing her she made me laugh with the use of the words Jolly and Dandy.

Rosie Wilby
From Performing at the fringe in Edinburgh, to the compering and curating of Femmes On The Thames in London, Rosie Wilby has been doing stand up all over the country since getting to the finals of Funny Women in 2006.

Sarah Archer
After seeing Sarah Archer at Edinburgh I totally fell in love with her comedy. She is absolutely comically brilliant. Her stories of growing up in an Irish Catholic household and her grudges on girls she went to school with will remind you of your own childhood embarrassments. The impression of her Dad is genius and I found myself doing that twisted face of cringe as she talked. It’s relatable and a laugh-your-socks-and-shoes-off hilarious act.

Julie Jepson
Hilarious Northern comedian Julie Jepson reached the final of the Funny Women Comedy Awards in 2005 and has been making people’s sides split since. You can reguarly see her at comedy nights at The Komedia and Upstairs at The Three and Ten in Brighton where I saw her last year. Her stories of people mistaking her for a man and why women just should sport moustaches is why she is the up and coming comedienne in the UK.
