Two stellar comedians preview their stand-up shows before heading to the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival Fringe!
Joe Kent-Walters is a multi-award winning comedian and actor from Huddersfield. He has been delighting audiences up and down the country with his idiosyncratic style of outrageous character comedy, most notably with his comic creation Frankie Monroe.
His “mesmerising and unpredictable presence” (Chortle) performing as Frankie saw him win the 2023 BBC New Comedy Award after a “barnstorming” (Ibid) set at Glasgow’s Kings Theatre. Joe is now in development with the BBC and Hat Trick Productions.
A regular on the comedy circuit and a rising comic star, Tom Rosenthal has burst onto the comedy scene with a clutch of award wins and roles in two cult sitcoms. One of the stars of Channel 4’s family sitcom Friday Night Dinner as well as the ITV Roman-era comedy Plebs, Tom won Leicester Comedian of the Year (2011) and was nominated for British Comedy Award Best Newcomer (2012).
