A repeat award winner of Best UK Compere, Stephen Grantis one of the hardest working comedy performers and writers in the UK. He is the host of the Krater Comedy Club at Komedia, which has won Best Comedy Venue in the South for an unprecedented amount of times and is a regular headliner at The Comedy Store in Leicester Square.
He possesses an energy and intellect which combined with his eight years in the corporate world make for a perfect experienced host and entertainer for any event.

Stephen still finds the time to headline and MC gigs all over the country, as well as being a regular guest on The Cutting Edge at The Comedy Store, deputizing presenter on BBC Southern Counties Radio, warming up and performing on some of the biggest comedy shows on TV. His speed and dynamism create a magical energy which has audiences rapt and hanging onto his every word.

MATT REED
As cheeky as he is wonderfully brutal, Sunderland boy Matt is a welcome addition to any comedy night entertaining the crowd while skilfully destroying any heckler that crosses his path. A regular face at all the major clubs in the country Matt is also in great demand as MC for music festivals, burlesque nights and corporate occasions. He and Viz’s Simon Donald run a monthly quiz night from The Stand in Newcastle where Matt is also a regular at Red Raw.
He is in great demand as a host and headliner for club nights, festivals and corporates around the country, and is booked up to a year in advance for weekend gigs. His affable style has won him fans across the country, playing with the crowd with a natural rapport found in few comics. Not for the faint-hearted, Matt dishes out all styles of material from the delightfully perverse to unique observations and audience interaction.
“Brilliant, always original…one of the newest stars of comedy…the finest compere I’ve seen in a long time…” The Leeds Guide
“Fantastic and talented up and comer…a future in comedy assured” The Independent

PETER WHITE
Originally from Nova Scotia, Canada, Peter White was a computer engineer. He went to school for it. Unfortunately, it took him a long time to realize that he hated engineering with a passion. Luckily, he found comedy.
He started performing stand-up comedy in 2005, and within a year was named one of the “Top 5 Up and Coming Comedians in Canada” by CBC Radio’s So, You Think You’re Funny? Quickly he began headlining clubs, universities and theatres across the country. He’s a favorite at festivals all across Canada, including the Prestigious Just For Laugh’s Comedy Festival, as well as three consecutive years at the Halifax Comedy Festival. In 2010 Peter recorded an hour long stand up special which can be seen in Canada on CTV and the Comedy Network’s. Since arriving in the UK Peter has been invited to appear on Comedy Central’s Comedy Store Live.
Peter is also a very accomplished writer. He has written for the Gemini Award Winning This Hour Has 22 Minutes and the Gemini Award Nominated That’s So Weird on YTV. He has also written and performed pieces for CBC Radio One and XM Satellite Radio. His writing has been nominated for both a Canadian Comedy Award and a Writer’s Guild of Canada Award.
Now based in London, Peter can be found performing at clubs across the UK and throughout Europe, and has quickly established himself as one of the top new comics to watch on the circuit.
