Our headliner Rob Deering is as seen on:
Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford (ITV1)

With his easy charm, cheesy singing voice, razor-sharp wit and clownish physicality Rob has quickly established himself as a firm favourite on the comedy circuit around Britain.
Rob performs stand-up comedy with music, using a guitar, a loop pedal and his voice to create impressive rock and pop soundscapes – and does jokes, of course.
“Ingenious and hilarious” The Guardian

Opening the show is stand-up comedian, actor, improviser and presenter Ben Van Der Velde who over the past decade has spread joy and nonsense to all four corners of the British Isles and Europe.
“On flights of fancy, he pushes ideas to extremes and displays a crackling, spontaneous energy in which we’re swept up.” Fest
Also appearing on the night is James Dowdeswell who’s comedy is erudite, off the cuff and clean. James has appeared on numerous TV shows including Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC) and we look forward to welcoming him to the Lighthouse.
