Jonathan Mayor "Imagine a Christmas tree has just exploded over the campest Bollywood star you know." With Jonathan Mayor it's all "Me! Me! Me!" and you can see why. Why shouldn't such a fabulous ball of glitter and glam be the centre of everyone's world? Jonathan Mayor is one the rising stars of the Manchester alternative performance scene, making regular appearances not only on the stand up circuit, but also various queer or black minority events and performances. His first appearance as a stand up comedian was at Pink Purse, a queer performance night at Manchester’s radical Contact Theatre in December 2001, and that night saw the start of a growing cult of lesbian and gay fans. Jonathan’s path into full time stand up was largely due to the landlord of the Bulls Head handing over his highly respectable establishment for the camp riot that is Jonathan's Tuesday night quiz. This quiz quickly evolved into a night of comedy and cabaret with a few questions thrown in. He has also performed at the Gilded Balloon in Edinburgh, in the So You Think You’re Funny heats and at the Liverpool Comedy Festival. Dan Willis was previously one of the UK's leading computer programmers, able to code in 14 different languages across multiple environments; His technical CV contains Coutts & Co (the Queens Bank), IBM, RBS, Barclays and many other FTSE top 100 companies… He did however get a bit bored with the desk job... Over the last ten years Dan Willis has built a reputation as one of the fastest-rising and hardest working comedians on the British and international comedy circuits. Headlining and MC’ing major comedy clubs in the UK and abroad, Willis has also received many accolades for his work at over 30 international Comedy & Fringe festivals.
