LONDON CALLING: A NIGHT OF STAND UP COMEDY (GBR)

Dana Alexander

One of Canada’s most outspoken and hilarious women has packed her bags and is now in the UK. Originally from Edmonton, Alberta and now making her home in Toronto, via Vancouver, Dana began with Yuk Yuk's at a young age and quickly became a regular fixture in their western Comedy Clubs. She has continued to tour with them for the past 8 years. Currently Dana tours nationally and can be seen in comedy clubs and colleges all across Canada. Voted »Best Discoveries« by Now Magazine in 2006 and included in the top ten for »Best Comedy Shows of 2007« the following year, she is easily one Canada's hottest emerging young comedians.

Quoted as being »fierce and in young face« and »almost revolutionary«, Dana continues to draw her material from her diverse lifestyle, from her gay friends to her crazy Jamaican family. As the only black female one the Canadian comedy circuit, she brings a refreshing change to the comedy scene while her own home sensibilities endear her to a wide variety of audiences, she is a comic you definitely do not want to miss.

Marcus Ryan

Perennial globetrotter Marcus Ryan is a gifted storyteller with a natural comic bent and has featured at so many festivals and clubs around the world it’s hard to know where home is these days. One thing's for sure, he’s right at home on stage. A laid back yet engaging stage presence, Marcus charms his audiences with tales from the road and a sharp wit. Not bad for a boy from Wonthaggi.

Australian born but UK based for several years, Marcus kicked off his career in Melbourne honing his skills on the local circuit, with a runner up in Raw Comedy 2003 a finalist in Green Faces 2003 and an invitation to the Edinburgh Fringe the same year, followed by a selection for Comedy Zone 2004. In 2005 he appeared at major comedy festivals in Melbourne, Hobart, Montreal and again in Edinburgh where he was invited to attend the Vancouver comedy festival in a Rising Stars showcase.

Yianni Agisilaou

Yianni is a headliner all around the world with a mind as sharp as a ginsu blade. His
ability to deliver smart but accessible laughter packed material and also to improvise with whatever a room throws at him combine to create a truly unique experience. He regularly performs hour-long shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and Melbourne comedy festivals. Respected industry website Chortle said "it takes real skill to pull off a show of such simple ideas" and "sharp social commentary to compare favourably with Woody Allen".

He has made numerous television appearances including ITV's "Take the Mike" and ABC's "Raw Comedy" (Australia) is the face of "The Dealmaker" dealmarket.com. 

A 'sparklingly intelligent and very funny' man (Chortle), through hard work and quality output Yianni has accumulated an impressive list of achievements in comedy. His electric material, sharp improvisational mind and smooth crowd control skills also make him an in-demand MC (Master of Ceremony) at clubs and at corporate gigs worldwide.

"We are witnessing a phenomenon - there's perfectly timed and executed slapstick happening on stage, but it's completely spontaneous and unplanned. It's extraordinary." Beat Magazine (Australia)
