Towards the eighties, when impressionists became unfashionable, Austin developed a "stand-up" act featuring topical news items of the day, a wry glance at life and also honed to perfection his now famous "Drunk Routine" which is much requested by audiences and organisers alike.

Having also written for TV & Radio, compiled scripts for Tommy Cooper, Les Dawson, and many more, Austin has also appeared in Coronation St, Krypton Factor, Sandbagger, Taggart, Fallen Hero, Crib the Detective, the list goes on and on.

Ceri Dupree
Ceri has been delighting audiences worldwide for almost 25 years; his unique talents have taken him through musical theatre, pantomime, summer season, television and cabaret. There isn’t an audience (Age or Type!!!) that he hasn’t played to.

He has performed at various major and esteemed venues throughout England, Ireland, Scotland and his birthplace Wales, with numerous appearances at hotels such as The Savoy, The Dorchester, The Churchill, The Landmark and Claridges.
International work has included appearances in Greece, France, Holland, Spain, Germany South Africa and the Seychelles.

On Television, Ceri has wowed the audiences with his four-part television show for ITV1 called “Ceri Dupree Unfrocked”. He has also appeared on numerous chat shows, light entertainment shows as well as hundreds of radio shows and press interviews.

Over the years Ceri has impersonated almost every major female star one can think of, from Marilyn Monroe to Madonna, Shirley Bassey to Barbara Cartland, Tina Turner to the UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher!!! He has also sent up Cruella De Ville, Snow White, the Wicked Queen, and Belle (from Beauty and the Beast) during his "Dupree's Disney Diva's". Variety is certainly not dead - we also have Her Majesty The Queen of England, and Jordan. And his newest addition in 2008, Amy Winehouse!

Ceri Dupree is certainly more than a comic in a frock his singing, dancing, acting, impersonation and stand up comedy, display a talent that blasts the notion of “Dressing up in drag” clean off the stage. His shows are elegant, professional and extremely funny, as reviewer once said… "The frocks are fabulous, the wigs wonderful, tThe voice versatility itself, Ceri Dupree illuminates people rather than merely impersonating women, walking a fine line between character and caricature, never being anything less than hugely funny with sharp wit, human perception and high energy!!!"

Future plans include a play about the late great Bette Davis, and a show based on the life of the legendary Danny La Rue (entitled "Don't Miss La Rue"). Plans to open his own Cabaret/Restaurant, called "Dupree's" are well underway, and he has future ambitions to work in Las Vegas and to play the lead in the musical La Cage Aux Folles.

The audience loved him"

"A Cavalcade of Comics" THE STAGE "working his act from a large Punch & Judy type screen on stage, this talented and very imaginative entertainer brings a new and hilarious comedy idea in presentation.

His qualities as a stand up comic were showcased in 1992 when Granada TV brought 'The Comedians' back, but his real talents lie in his comedy impressions of politicians, soap stars, pop stars and sportsmen, in particular his superb send up of Chris Eubank, equalled only by Chris himself! Charlie's sheer brilliance has lead to various. TV shows for 1995 including his own ½ hour show on Sky One (15 July 1995)

For the past ten years, Christine has certainly earned her reputation as one of the North's most popular, and loved comediennes.

Starting out in her native South Yorkshire, Christine's career began in the Working Men's Clubs; venues that don't like to give male comedians a chance, let alone females. 

From this, she learnt to handle any type of audience, always giving back more than she took.

Nowadays, Christine is as at home working in the After Dinner environment as she is treading the boards of the clubs from the Midlands to the North East. 

Ladies evenings are a particular favourite, with her anti male humour appreciated by her many female fans.

Christine still works regularly for Pontins during the summer, alongside the clubs and company functions.

He’s crude! He’s rude! He’s shocking! He’s hilarious! He’s Chubby Spencer – the UK’s number one tribute to the most outrageous comedian in the world.

Like Chubby Brown? You’ll love Chubby Spencer.

BEWARE: Foul language! Blue humour! Side-splitting jokes!

Chubby Spencer is the foul alter ego of the delightfully mild-mannered Ollie Spencer – one of the top comedians on the UK circuit.

A stalwart of TV programmes such as New Faces, Tiswas, the Comedians and Seaside Special, Ollie is also a familiar and much-loved face at clubs and holiday resorts across Europe. 

Much in demand on the after dinner circuit, his comic talents have also taken him to many of the world’s most exotic destinations as an entertainer on board the world’s most luxurious cruise liners.

A true professional, Ollie is extremely likeable and highly amenable – in fact his real personality is completely at odds with the foul-mouthed Chubby!

Rob & Darren are two brothers who have built up quite a reputation in the world of show business. They virtually grew up in theatres and coming from a comedy background it was inevitable that the lads would inherit the same comedy humour.

The lads got together one night in 2000 at a charity event at The Bistro French in Preston, UK.

The boys were next asked to perform at the legendary North Pier Theatre in Blackpool with Joe Longthorne and then, with their reputation growing and growing they toured with Joe and supported one of Britain’s funny men, Freddie Starr. They also appeared on tour with their friend Johnny Casson.

Harper Brothers’ diary is now getting fuller and fuller, regularly working for Pontins, Warners, Butlins, Park Resorts and Thompson Gold. They have even presented a TV Pilot show called Bands In Transit. They have worked many times for P & O on their ships, The Oreana, Ociana, Aurora, The Arcadia, as well as many overseas engagements.

Roger comes from the highly popular comedy group of the 70’s Hobson's Choice.

The group eventually split up and in 1981 Roger formed a comedy duo with lead man called Hobson & Choice.

The duo were tremendously successful throughout the 80’s and early 90’s until Barry moved down South in 1992 to take up hotel management, and Roger took up a career as a solo comedian calling himself aptly ‘Roger Hobson’.

Since then Roger has done extremely well appearing in cabaret, Social Clubs, Summer Shows, working for Thomsons Holidays and for the past 3 years starring in Pat Terry’s very popular production shows, ‘Winter Wonderland’, ‘Inter City Express’, ‘West End Spectacular’ and ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’.

Roger has an infectious sense of humour; he is very likeable, hardworking, conscientious and reliable, attributes that make him very popular with Agents, Venues and fellow Artistes alike.

Sue Sweeny
FUNNYGIRL Sue Sweeney entertains thousands of listeners to her radio show on BBC Radio Newcastle every Saturday morning.

The Durham City lass is no stranger to comedy, with a clubland career stretching back to the 1970s.

She started her career as a singer, influenced by her granddad John Simpson, who was concert chairman at Brandon Workingmen’s Club.

Sue recalls: "My grandad used to stand me on a stool in the house in Durham and hand me a skipping rope. That was my first microphone."

Sue showed promise and was put on the books of Olive Daunt, a singing coach and drama teacher.

She joined a band of prison officers, known as Long Stretch, singing 50s-type band songs, in the clubs and at dinner dances.

At 16 she joined a pop band, singing Abba tunes, and later teamed up with Lynne Smith to form one of the first female double-acts in the North East, Cobweb.

It was after the birth of one of her daughters, Rachel, on January 4, 1986, that Sue decided to go it alone on stage.

She says: "The comedy came into it when I was pregnant. It was after Rachel was born that I decided to go full-time as a solo entertainer.

"I wanted to be self-contained and I wanted to be my own boss."

She adds: "The clubs have always been a very male-dominated profession, but I never had any trouble.

"I got a lot of encouragement from one of club land’s biggest names, Walter Gee, who should really have been a big star.

"For me turning to comedy was a natural progression from being a singer."

Sue travelled the world with her comedy act and has been named North East comedy artiste of the year more than once.

She has worked in television drama and comedy and her only regret is that she never landed a part in one of the TV soaps.

It was doing a live interview for radio that sparked her interest in taking to the airwaves.

Sue, a mother-of-three, now manages to juggle three jobs – a club entertainer, a radio presenter and a sales executive with Vic Young’s in South Shields.

She says: "I wear different hats. I feel blessed that I have been able to do different jobs, all of which I enjoy.

Tank Sherman
West Country comedian Tank Sherman presented some very clever material, including an inspired sight gag with a snooker cue. His real strength is the material, much of which sounds pretty original to me - a genuinely funny guy with his own brand of inspired lunacy. Showcall Showcase 2004

Zak Stevens
Kind permission Roger Davies
Think daft, zany comedy, and think Zak Stevens. Freddie Starr, but for a lot less money!
Whatever the situation, Zak never fails to impress; in cabaret, the full show will suit most adult audiences, yet with only a trace of innuendo. For after dinner functions, his stand up routine will have you in stitches.

A keen golfer (he plays off 12), Zak has been a massive hit on the celebrity golf tour, and is also a member of the Comedians’ Golfing Society. He is equally at home in both all male and mixed environments.

Zak entered showbusiness as a member of the band “The Internationals,” and, following a stint with “Fashion Fever”, he progressed into comedy, forming the duo “Twins.” After a number of very successful years touring Europe and making a name for themselves over here, he finally made the decision to go solo. Nowadays, Zak tours the length of the country and has twice won the coveted “Midlands Comedy Entertainer of The Year” trophy.

A fully professional artiste, Zak will always arrive on time, time carries the latest in sound systems, and is very easy to get along with. He has been known to remain on stage for over 1½hours, but then he was determined to get one laugh that evening…….
More recently, he has secured another summer season working on the Butlins circuit, and has returned from Costa Del Sol in Spain, with an open invite to go back whenever he wants. He is also a regular on the Cruise Circuit.

“Zak is a very very good comedian”

“...but our comic for the night Zak Stevens brought the house down. A truly great comic at his best. Thanks Zak.”

“Zak Stevens. A very funny guy who had the members in the palm of his hand from start to finish. Here is a guy who outs a lot of effort into his act to keep you in stitches. Off stage he is one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. Best of luck, mate.”

“A giant frame, and a monster of a comedian from sunny Sheffield, who bounded on stage and scored big belly laughs with the Carcroft crowd. Some of the usual gags cropped up, yet after his initial warming up of the audience, his delivery went into supersonic mode. He worked the audience up into a frenzy of hysterics as his act drew to a close. Remember the name, Zak Stevens.”
