She also won?Manchester Fringe Comedian?of the Year in 2021 and has?provided tour support for the likes of?Joe Lycett,?Rachel Fairburn?and?Sophie Duker. ?Joe Lycett?said of Molly:??Molly McGuinness is a brilliantly dry and very funny comic, with a super confident stage presence and some wonderfully off-center killer gags.? MC MIKE NEWALL - A gentle, amiable power-house of a comic, Mike's timing is the envy of performers with ten times the experience and is living proof that you can't learn to be funny, some people just are. Since making his debut in 2003, he has toured the country honing his skills and is now a force to be reckoned with. His laconic style and demeanour is possible because of the strength of material and on stage presence. He also appeared in season 14 of Britain?s Got Talent. *ACTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE
