Jamali Maddix
Jamali Maddix is one of the most fearless and compelling comics to emerge in recent years, known for his bold takes and unmistakable stage presence. He's a regular on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, was the most anarchic Taskmaster contestants the show has ever seen, been on Live at the Apollo, Frankie Boyle's New World Order, and fronted his own Viceland series Hate Thy Neighbor. A sold-out Fringe favourite with global tours under his belt, Jamali delivers brutally honest comedy with confidence, charm and bite.

Sean McLoughlin
Sean McLoughlin is an acclaimed stand-up and writer based in London, known for his sharp, thoughtful comedy and global appeal. He's appeared on Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, The Stand-Up Sketch Show, Stand-Up Central and Kevin Hart's LOL Network.He's performed solo shows across four continents and supported Ricky Gervais, Katherine Ryan and Doc Brown on tour. He's also opened for Bill Burr at the Royal Albert Hall, played the Hollywood Bowl and a gala at the Sydney Opera House.

Colin Owens [compere]
Colin Owens is the charming chaos at the heart of Stand Up in the Basement. He's been gigging across the UK comedy circuit since 2005, known for his dry delivery, laid-back style, and razor-sharp crowd work. Colin's the glue that holds the night together — setting the tone, warming up the room, and making sure no one gets too comfy in the front row.

He first made waves after winning the Jimmy Carr Comedy Idol Competition, going on to support Carr at Bloomsbury Theatre and perform alongside comics like Frank Skinner, Tim Vine, and Michael McIntyre.

"Brilliant, like a funny neighbour." — Tim Vine
"I knew he'd be funny and he was." — Michael McIntyre
