Streatham Festival 2005

UnderHand are chuffed to bits to be invited back for our third consecutive year down at the Streatham Festival (July 2nd - 16th) and as ever we'll be armed with a brace of choice pickings from the best of the UK comedy circuit. With UnderHand regular MC extraordinare Matt Holt in command it looks set to be a right little corker.

Matt Holt
This MC has run gigs all over the country in the last couple of years including a residency in the West End and a late night stand up show for 25 nights in Edinburgh. A massively popular MC, Matt seems to care a lot more about audience and atmosphere than simply churning through set material. Genial, fearless and lightning quick: the perfect host. 'The cream of chortle-worthy talent, very funny, a top laugh' Loaded

	Kevin Day Local Streatham lad made good - Kevin is now something of a household name popping up all over TV and Radio, and is one of the lead writers on both They Think It's All Over and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. However it was as a stand up he made his name, playing most of the top venues worldwide and gaining an unparalleled reputation as a devastatingly effective funny man. It's an absolute pleasure to welcome him back, and on his home turf to boot. Sit back and relax: this guy knows what he’s doing.
	Matt Kirshen Winner of the 2003 Hackney Empire New Act Competition and the Comedy Store King of Kings, Matt has stormed onto the comedy scene with an intelligent and skilful talent that belies his youthful looks. Already he has won two major new act competitions and has been booked for 20 minute spots at the Comedy Store, which takes most comedians years to achieve. A definite star of the future: catch him here so you can say you saw him first. "Winning material ... Kirshen certainly shone through" Evening Standard
	Tom Price Tom is a phenomenally talented comic who has achieved tremendous acclaim for his appearances in Whatever C4, Absolute Power BBC1, and two series of Rigor Mortis for Radio 4. His charming and inventive banter has also taken him to the finals of almost every comedy competition in the land. "Crowd-pleasing but with enough twists to satisfy the more discerning comedy connoisseur" Chortle. "Hilarious!" The Mirror, Pick of the week.
	Judy Batalion And introducing Canadian Judy Batalion who has not only performed stand-up in top venues across London and New York but was also recently selected as a featured new-writer for a short-story event at Foyles, London.
