************** ABOUT THE COMEDIANS **************

GRANT GALLACHER

Grant Gallacher is a Scottish Comedian of the Year finalist whose sharp, witty jokes, side splitting crowd work and hilarious storytelling have taken him all over the UK, Europe and the USA, touring sold out venues and doing two solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He has also supported established acts such as Iliza Shlesinger, Vir Das and April Macie. He can be regularly seen rapidly approaching burnout touring in Europe or hosting at Prague's first and best Metro Comedy Club. You can find him at a show, or on social media @thegrantichrist. Described as "one of Scotland's best up and coming comedians" (The Skinny) he is definitely one not to miss.

"A bright future in stand up" - The Scotsman

"Grant has all the energy of his scottish roots boiling out of his skin" Comedy Kiss

JOHN O KEEFFE

John has established himself as one of the most exciting stand-ups emerging in the Irish comedy scene. Winner of the "Best New Act" Award at the 2019 Bray Comedy Festival, John has been featured on FM104 and is a contributing writer to The God Pod Twitter account. Praised for his likability, comedy writing and stage presence, he has performed on shows with top comedians such as David O'Doherty, Michelle Wolf, Joanne Mcnally, and Steve Hofstetter, and regularly gigs at the best venues across Ireland. In 2019 he brought a show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and debuted a new show at the Scene and Heard festival in 2022, and again in 2023. He also brought two shows to the Edinburgh Fringe festival in 2023 and 2024. He opened for Steve Hofstetter on his 2024 European Tour. He has recently just returned from bringing three shows to the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

HUGO SCHEPENS DE MELO

Hugo started writing for Stand Up since 2017, creating texts and bits for various comedians. He debuted as a comedian in 2019 and is a frequent presence in shows in English and Portuguese.

As a comedian he is eclectic and seeks to connect with the public between the ridiculousness of everyday life and the search for new themes.

He is absolutely perfect, although he is too humble in his self-description.

PERY MACHADO

Pery Machado has always enjoyed making others laugh since childhood but only made the plunge into standup in 2024. Since then he has been a regular in the English-speaking scene. Drawing from Brazilian upbringing, he brings a quirky view on relatable topics from relationships to self-improvement, from red flags to Bruce Lee.
