OPENING – IMRAN YUSUF
"His riffs are hilarious and his choice of targets is evidence that he’s a comic
that has something to say." - Mark Breslin, CEO of Yuk Yuk’s International Comedy
Imran Yusuf is renowned for his stinging, lyrical street-slang verbiage and super-high
energy performance that triggers an eruption of belly-aching laughter. Fast and
furious yet charmingly endearing, this is a very unique voice. Born in Mombasa,
Kenya and raised in the UK for the most part with a brief stint at school in the
USA, and having travelled much of the world including Israel/Palestine, Jordan
and Saudi Arabia during the Lebanon Crisis in 2006, Imran encompasses a rich multitude
of cultural assets from across the planet that defines him as a youthful, energetic
and original voice that embodies the cultural wealth that exists in modern Britain.

As the top black comedian on the UK comedy circuit, Rudi Lickwood is far more
than just a stand-up. Hosting the exclusive Brit Awards after-show party in Feb
2008 and awarded status in the ‘Black 100+’ awards for the greatest Black British
Achievers, Rudi’s on fire. With a super confident playful personality and oozing
charisma, his infectious charm has made him a desirable commodity. Recognition
