Neil Mahoney:

Neil decided to change careers in his 50’s, and so embarked on a law degree. He is almost all the way through, and due to graduate soon, and still has no idea what he wants to do!

He figured a lot of lawyers become comedians after a stressful few years of legal work, but he decided to cut the work stress part of that journey and try comedy anyway. What could go wrong?

 

Dom Wrench:

Dom is a fireball of energy who you will either love or hate by the end of his set. If being loud and inappropriate was a job, he’d be a professional.
