Jarlath Regan : Edinburgh Preview

Award winning comedian, writer and broadcaster, Jarlath Regan has gained a reputation with the industry and audiences for his uplifting, inventive and relentlessly funny stand-up. His performances have made him a firm favourite in all the top clubs on the UK comedy circuit and his award winning An Irishman Abroad podcast, where he interviews some of Ireland’s most famous exports, has won him universal acclaim and a global audience.

Since 2007 Jarlath has brought eight solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe. Between enjoying sell-out runs and earning rave reviews, it’s easy to see why he has become a darling of the festival circuit. Jarlath’s numerous international comedy festival performances include appearances at The Montreal Just for Laughs Festival, The New Zealand Comedy Festival and the Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane festivals as a part of the Best of The Edinburgh Fest Showcase tours.

Athena Kugblenu

Athena has been performing stand-up comedy since SPring 2012.

A 2015 BBC New Comedian of the Year finalist,  Athena is a comedian with intelligent, thought-provoking jokes that still have an edgy sting.

This year, she took her first solo show, Reality Check, to Brighton Fringe and Edinburgh Fringe to 4 and 5 star reviews.

By invitation she’s written for BBC Radio 4 (News Quiz) , performed on BBC Radio Scotland (Funny Kind of World), guests on BBC Five Live and later this year she’ll be performing at the Johannesburg Comedy Festival.

Her unscripted wit hasn’t gone unnoticed; in 2016 she featured in a BBC3 Future Films production, was invited by internet super producers Astronauts Wanted to guest in their series Girl on Girl and asked by the Pool to contribute HER take on the question ‘Can men be funny?‘ She also had a lot to say in The Pool’s ever popular  Kitchen Table podcast.

Paul F Taylor

The award winning Paul F Taylor is a one of the UK’s most original and distinctive stand-up performers. His unique brand of humour fuses quirky offbeat one liners with surreal and observational flights of fancy to fantastical effect. Paul took home the title of the NATY New Act Of The Year in 2013.

As an avid football fan, Paul recently took part in BT Sport's Football Tonight with George Lamb. Paul has also recently finished shooting on the talking head's show, Animal Antics with Woodcut Media.

Paul has also achieved notable success as a screen writer and actor. Milk! that he co-wrote and starred in, was the ShortCom Jury Select Winner 2015, and was in the official selection in LOCO, Nashville, LOL, Shortwaves, Glasgow and London Short Film festivals. It has also won the Dead Short Film Competition at Leeds International Film Festival 2015.
Battlecock! that he also co-wrote and starred in, made it into the official selection at the BFI London Film Festival 2013.

Paul was one half of the double act, Helm & Taylor with Nick Helm. He is also half of the double act Short & Curly (with our very own Rebecca Shorrocks).
