“Fantastic gag rate. I can see you on TV. Really original persona I can see working on TV. I hope you do.” - Rachel Parris
Saeth Wheeler
Saeth is a gay socialist from Yorkshire - but despite that, they're quite nice, really. You can see them delivering their witty, absurdist comedy at venues around the North, including Dodgy Comedy, Complete Joke, and Blizzard Comedy.
"Saeth is a brilliant comic whose friendly and likeable stage presence only serves to hide their pointed fury at the world and themselves." - Bradford Fringe
"Everything wrong with modern Britain" - The Daily Mail
and Maxine Wade
A rising star of the northern comedy scene, Maxine Wade combines political satire with anecdotes of her time nursing in the NHS. Her hilarious quick fire gags and puns about real life stories you wouldn’t believe happened to her will have you laughing all night. Saucy, sexy, and with a hint of sarcasm, Maxine has a reputation for bringing the house down’.
