Vix Leyton: I Feel Petty
Discovered by Mark Watson on Twitter, Welsh comic exiled to London Vix Leyton is a natural storyteller with a keen eye for observation, combining warm, whimsical charm with biting wit. A flagrant self promoter, you’ve probably heard of her but you have no idea why.

Her panel show podcast ‘The Comedy Arcade’ is both an audio success and compelling live show, charting as high as 22 for comedy on the Apple Podcast charts, and picking up a nomination for Leicester Comedy’s best podcast last year.

In her show I Feel Petty Vix ponders the blend of factors that have turned her into the self styled ‘Princess of petty’, taking us on a tour of her family history and musing on whether pettiness as a trait is nature, nurture, trauma or a little of all three.

‘She is funny, charismatic, resourceful and likely to achieve great things’
– Mark Watson

‘Fun and irreverent’
– Jen Brister

‘Vix has an undeniable bubbly energy, a natural wit and a real gift for hilarious story telling’
– Sam Rhodes

Rich Wilson

Rich Wilson, full-time comedian turned painter/decorator, turned t-shirt-printer is back…being a comedian… Fresh from a sell-out show at Soho Theatre, Rich invites you to forget everything that has happened over the past two years and enjoy a whimsical hour of the sharply observed and painfully honest tales that have won him Best International Guest at the 2016 New Zealand Comedy Awards and sold out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe. Rich campaigns for better understanding of mental health, particularly in men and is the host of award-winning podcast Insane in the Men Brain.
