tour.
A finalist in the

show, Three Men
and a Giant. Steve has since returned to

critical acclaim. With We Are Klang Steve has won a

Festival's Barry
Award as well as appearing in
Saturday Night Live

Music Hall Meltdown
(BBC Four) The
Wall (BBC Three) and
Edinburgh and Beyond
(Paramount Comedy).
As part of We Are Klang Steve most recently wrote and
starred in the groups eagerly anticipated sitcom series
for BBC Three.
Steve recently supported Russell Howard on his autumn
arena tour ‘Big
Rooms and Belly Laughs’.
JAMES ACASTER
James Acaster began performing stand up comedy in
January 2008, he has since developed into a hugely
engaging and exciting comedian, performing all over the
country and establishing himself as one of the most
exciting new acts on the circuit.
From September 2010 James will be supporting Josie Long
for the whole of her 2010 UK tour. He won Off The Kerb's
Laughing Boy New Act in June 2010 and then came 3rd in
the Latitude New Act Competition the following month
where he performed to over 4,000 people. In August 2010
he performed as part of BBC's 'Stand Up in the Street'
during the Edinburgh festival. He has appeared on
Australian TV show 'Australia Versus' and was one of the
Co Hosts of 'My First Gig' on Resonance FM.
His set often features story telling, audience
interaction and routines about not being particularly
cool. He is from the town of Kettering but is based in
London. They are both cool in their own way.
