THE LINE UP
 
MARK WALKER
 
This colourful enigmatic nomad was born in Ireland. He then moved to, and throughout the north of England where he was last seen fronting a pub rock band by night, and working as a pebble dasher by day in Grimsby. He now finds himself living in London and working the comedy circuit. Confused? Well not as much as he is!
The comedy urge has always been there but manifested itself in January 1999. Since then Mark has become one of the top comics on the circuit today. He is vocally and physically dynamic with his performance in which he combines life with surrealism, to become a living embodiment of his daydreams.
2001 saw Marks' debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in his one man show, 'The Man Who Fell To Mirth', which grew over the festival to become a sellout show. Since then he has taken his comedy from the Middle East to the Far East and back to the North East, along with various guest appearances on BBC1, Channel 4 & Channel 5, he may never have to dash another a pebble again!.
                           "Vein-Popping intensity, clearly born to entertain". - The Independent
"Mark Walker is a very talented man". - The Scotsman
"Get yourself along to see Mark Walker". - The Herald
 
 
CHRISTIAN REILLY
 
He has written for and performed on three series of ’That Was Then This Is Now’ (BBC Radio 2) as musical counterpart to Richard Herring and Emma Kennedy - an association which, in 2009, spawned the Loaded Lafta-nominated sketch and stand-up show ’As It Occurs To Me’, a second series of which begins in May 2010. He has also been heard giving his improvisation skills an outing on two series of Rowland Rivron’s ’Jammin’ (BBC Radio 2) with the likes of Kim Wilde and Hazel O’ Connor. In 2007, Christian hosted the Nottingham Live Music Weekend (sharing the bill with The Magic Numbers, Just Jack and Cherry Ghost), performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Kilkenny Cat Laughs Festival, the Liverpool Comedy Festival, the Latitude Festival and took his first solo show, How To Rock to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for a successful run. The same year, Christian also appeared on The Graham Norton Show (BBC2), backing if.comeddie award-winner Phil Nichol. Christian made his acting debut at the 2006 Edinburgh Festival, playing the hilariously faded Vegas lounge crooner Tony Luga in The Murder Show, conceived and written by the company.
“If you’re a fan of Bill Bailey or Rich Hall, you’re probably a Christian Reilly fan already – you just don’t know it yet” William Cook, The Guardian "In the hallowed tradition of Eddie Izzard - destroys the proscenium arch and makes you feel you’re sharing a beer with your best mate" Channel 4 Comedy News “The comedy equivalent of Mötorhead slamming straight into Ace Of Spades" The Scotsman
 
 
PAUL ZENON
 
Paul Zenon, the original Fun Loving Criminal (other aliases include 'King Con' and 'The Sultan of Swindle'!) is the UK's leading comedy magician, with dozens of TV credits to his name including three recent hour-long one-man 'street magic' specials screened by Channel 4.
His one-man show was a huge hit at the '97 and '99 Edinburgh Festivals, receiving much critical acclaim and five star reviews in The Scotsman, The List and The Guardian.
He has performed at major theatres around Britain as part of the Comedy Store National Tour, and was 'Special Guest' at the Royal Television Society's annual Craft and Design Awards. In 1999 the hour-long Channel 4 Easter special, Paul Zenon Turning Tricks received rave reviews, and his second special Paul Zenon's Tricky Christmas was Channel 4's highest rating entertainment show of the holiday season.
During 2000 Paul performed a sell-out run at the Adelaide Festival, worked as magic consultant for Eurotrash (!), appeared as 'Special Guest' on all seven episodes of Something for the Weekend (Channel 4), and was one of the select few invited to appear at the opening of the new Comedy Store in Manchester.
