In only the space of a couple years Talal has already made big waves in the comedy scene in NI, gigging all across the country, playing in the biggest comedy clubs & doing tour support for the biggest acts at the grandest venues.

Keego: Pro Wrestling, Comedy During Covid & The Tayto Debate?
From Professional Wrestling to Acting to Kickboxing to Standup Comedy; Keego has shown himself to be quite the performer in his past lives but it's comedy that has given him the new lease of life. One he is excelling in already in such a small amount of time.

Luke McGibbon: A Decade At The Pav, Worst Ever Gigs & Future Goals!
Having started gigging in 2011 admittedly only seeking to be a good comic, Luke established himself as that within a couple of years before he "rotted for the guts of a decade" as he performed without actively seeking out new gigs or writing new material.
However, lockdown is when it started to fall into place more for Luke, getting new jobs which provided more free time to dedicate to his comedy career which is starting to grow more each year.

The Florida native is coming off the back of supporting Shane Todd at the Grand Opera House Belfast & appearing on ITV/UTV's Secrets of the Comedy Circuit, however, it's safe to say her 'journey' to the stage of a club here isn't like anyone else's.
