Frank Sanazi

Frank Sanazi, the ultimate “Ubermeister of Lounge” delivers a hilarious mix of cabaret, satire and political parody into his uniquely outrageous act. Frank Sanazi performs swing-style versions of classic songs with a darkly humorous twist – playfully reimagining them through the persona of a crooning dictator. Frank Sanazi is a cult figure on the UK comedy circuit and at festivals like the Edinburgh Fringe and Glastonbury.

“It’s all brilliantly stupid, fantastically wrong and ridiculously funny” – The Scotsman

“A truly funny Fuhrer” – The Stage

Sol Bernstein

Sol Bernstein, billed as “the oldest Jewish on the circuit”, is a legend in the world of entertainment and when a legend reaches a certain point in their career, it’s time to ease up on doing legendary things and reflect on an exemplary life. Sol Bernstein has reached that point, and invites us to listen to his tales of the high life with the biggest names in showbiz, musings on how the world has changed, and being just an ordinary Jew with razor-sharp wit, unbounded talent and fearless chutzpah.

“Simply my favourite comic” – Harry Hill

“One part Alf Garnett, two parts Mel Brooks, and three parts like nothing you’ve ever heard” – The Guardian
