Meet the people who make the room come alive with laughter and energy.

Rachel Morton-Young

Rachel Morton-Young MC

Rachel is an energetic and chatty British comedian, based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. She is an established act on the English-speaking comedy circuit and the owner of Mad Cow Comedy.

Tim Hill

Tim Hill

Tim Hill is a recovering cynic. A backpacker who settled down to become a dad. A sweet guy with a sting in his tail. But above all, a smartass who loves referring to himself in the third person (he really does). Tim does not approve of people calling him a hipster – meaning he probably is one – and sees the world as a meaningless yet endlessly fascinating place.

Tim is cheap, clean and sustainable and is therefore considered by many to be a viable alternative to fossil fuels.

Aaron Simmonds

Aaron Simmonds Headliner

Aaron Simmonds has been failing to stand up for 35 years, luckily he is far better at comedy than standing up.

"A comedian going places"*

He has a unique perspective on life, usually of people's belly buttons, which gives him stories to tell and a sore neck.

*Places that are wheelchair accessible

Aaron was a finalist at the BBC New Comedian of the Year and won Jewish comedian of the year 2017 (Both of which were fully wheelchair accessible)

His debut show at the 2019 Edinburgh Festival was nominated for Best Comedy Show by Broadway World UK and was a finalist for The Amused Moose Best Show.

As seen on QI (BBC), The Russell Howard Hour (Sky1) , The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV2), Guessable (Comedy Central) and Rob Beckett's Undeniable (Comedy Central)

"What’s most notable about Simmonds is his skill as a raconteur, never losing the audience for a moment." - Chortle

"Easy to see why he's an award winner." - The Scotsman
