PERFORMERS
*MC: ALASDAIR WALLACE (he/ they)*
Alasdair Wallace is definitely one of Bristol's comedians - and he's back hosting another fantastic all-trans line up! Warm, engaging, highly distractable, this guy absolutely cannot wait to bring you along for the ride. (Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year nominee)
*OPENER: ALEX FRANKLIN (she/ they)*
Alex is a trans, half-Chinese, SUPER funny comedian from London, specialising in stand-up, musical comedy, character comedy, overly intricate diagrams, and scuttling around on the ground. This year she brought her Brighton Fringe Comedy Award nominated show ‘Gurl Code’ to Edinburgh, a show about trans joy, her first year on HRT, and giving people furniture via the Tube; the show was performed to sold out crowds and received rave reviews (★★★★★ The Wee Review ‘Deeply affecting and incredibly funny’). Alex has also appeared on BBC Radio 4, Channel 4, and HBO Max. Past cool stuff includes:
Brighton Fringe Comedy Award Nominee
Max Turner Prize Finalist
BBC New Comedy Award Nominee x 3
Chortle Student Comedy Award Finalist
Brighton New Comedy Award Finalist
*HEADLINER: DEE ALLUM (she/ her)*
Dee Allum is an award-winning stand-up comedian and writer.
Dee has been nominated for Best Newcomer at the Chortle Awards, placed as runner up in the Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year award 2021, won the 2Northdown New Act Competition 2021 and was a finalist in the 2022 BBC New Comedy Award competition.
Dee took her debut solo stand up show, Deadname, to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2024 to wide critical acclaim, receiving reviews such as: “A story of gender identity told with panache, charm, self-deprecation and copious wit…an inventive, casually ironic storytelling skill…a true stand-up.” ★★★★ The Times
