Mebd
Born in Canada under the sign of Taurus, and raised by two singer-songwriters in post-conflict Northern Ireland, medb cut her teeth on tumblr bedroom pop to emerge as the multi-faceted creative powerhouse we all know and love. With a personality that is part Edie Sedgwick, part Virgin Mary, part Kylie Jenner, and a distinctive sound that has been likened to The Shop Assistants, Le Tigre, and Alvvays, you’ll know you’re listening to medb when an indescribable pang of nostalgia takes over your soul.
Charlotte Mae
Mae is a newly-divorced mother of two from Edinburgh who uses sharp, observational comedy and straight-talking feminist views (with a twist) to unpack modern life, motherhood, dating, and everything in between. From one perspective flirty with the audience yet fiery she reels them in. Drawing on her own ups and downs, she delivers honest, self-aware humour that’s relatable and quietly fearless – finding the funny in situations most people are trying to survive. One to watch.
Seaglass & Featherstone
Seaglass & Featherstone are an internationally touring burlesque/comedy double-act, comprised of multimedia comedian Gabriel Featherstone and burlesque icon Seaglass Beach. They have performed two shows together: Curse of The Black Seal, which is an occult-themed comedy musical about a magic seal, a generational curse and a sexually suggestive Gruffalo scenario at Chessington World of Adventures, and Office of Obscenity, which is an interactive office-themed game show featuring zany games, dangerously catchy songs, and grotesque mutant freaks.
