His autobiography My Name is Daphne Fairfax was recently featured on Radio 4’s Book of the Week. Steve Nallon was involved in the groundbreaking satirical comedy series Spitting Image creating the character voices for Margaret Thatcher, Sir David Attenborough, Alan Bennett, The Queen Mum, Bruce Forsyth and many more.

A previous winner of the BBC New Comedy Awards, Nina regularly headlines at London comedy venues including The Comedy Store. In 2008 Nina won the Barry Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Barb Jungr's passionate singing and extraordinary song styling has its roots in northern soul, opera and jazz.
