Rohil Bhanot Originally from India and now an (legal) immigrant in the UK, Rohil has spent the last eight years trying to fit in.

Nicky G is now regularly doing pro bills and big rooms. Naif Naif is a London-based Somali comedian turning awkward moments and everyday chaos into laughs. With his offbeat awkward energy and quick wit, he mines the cultural absurdities of growing up in a multicultural London life, and is establishing himself as one of the city’s comedians to watch. Atharva Pharande Atharva is an Indian comedian based in London whose comedy is rooted in sharp observations, satire, and wordplay. He’s performed across six countries and is a finalist of British Comedy Guide’s Pro Award, Bath New Act of the Year and StandUp Club UK’s New Comedian award. He has also made the semi-finals of So You Think You’re Funny, Spirit of Comedy and British Comedian of The Year.
