LIVE: George Zach + Nick Page

SUPPORT: JAKE STEERS + TOM RATCLIFF
COMPÈRE: JAMES COOK

GEORGE ZACH is Greek and moved to Britain at 18 to study Biochemistry lured by the idea of living in the country of Hugh Grant, Mr Bean and Lady Diana; Due to the family budget however, instead of living it large in Notting Hill, he ended up in Newcastle Upon-Tyne.

When he was done with university, George decided lab life wasn’t for him, so whilst playing poker for a living he did his first comedy spot in 2009 in a room above a pub on St Patrick’s Day.

Since that day he has gone on to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 5 times and in 2015 he appeared at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

George has firmly established himself in the UK and Australian comedy circuits, has performed in various countries such as Spain, The Netherlands, Greece, Germany and Hong Kong and has supported Chris McCausland and Sophie Willan on their UK tours as well as  Jim Jeffries and TJ Miller internationally.

His broadcast work includes appearing on Dave Channel’s ‘The Comedy Guide To Life’, BBC One’s This Week, The One Show and he has acted in Sky’s Summer Shorts.

“A charismatic raconteur.. his story not only elicits laughter but is also, at times, poignant and moving”
The Wee Review

“Truly Terrific”
Melbourne Herald

“Huge Laughs, George is clearly a very funny guy”
Broadway Baby

NICK PAGE: With some comics there’s a moment where you ask yourself ‘I wonder how much of this is true?’, with Nick Page you might hope it isn’t true, but somehow know that it is, mostly. His shows are full to bursting with stories from a life lived on the edge of (self inflicted) disaster.

In the last few years he has won the prestigious title ‘English Comedian of the Year’, performed at comedy festivals in 3 continents and been awarded the Operational Service Medal by the British army for numerous gigs in warzones, doing everything from shows in Camp Bastion and Kandahar for 5000 troops at a time, to being helicoptered to perform for 20 soldiers in a patrol base in the desert.

He’s reached the live finals of Britain’s Got Talent despite having never watched the show. A typical week in the UK might see performances in pubs and theatres before a weekend run at a comedy club. Between cruises and expat bookings he’s now performed in over half the world’s countries, and even kept busy during covid lockdown performing over 100 online gigs from a studio in his garage.
