BBC NEW COMEDY AWARDS

His live comedy work regularly takes him as far afield as Dubai, Mumbai and Singapore.
Award-winning Comedian Quincy, also known as the Cockney Prince is a far cry from the well-known Medical Examiner from that 70's TV Show and is no stranger to the microphone either, as a stand-up comic or radio talk show host.
Apart from being a regular on the British stand up circuit since 2005, Quincy has performed all over the world including New York, Singapore, Dubai, India and in Europe. He has supported the likes of an early Kevin Heart, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle & other top comics from the USA.

LEICESTER MERCURY COMEDIAN OF THE YEAR
LEICESTER SQUARE COMEDIAN OF THE YEAR
CHORTLE BEST NEWCOMER
TOUR SUPPORT FOR JOE LYCETT & JOHN ROBBINS
Multi-award-winning Welsh comedian, Matt Rees, has generated a huge buzz on the circuit over the past few years with his unique brand of well-crafted gags and acerbic delivery earning him high praise from audiences and critics alike.
The deadpan stand-up is a sober drunk and a couple of years ago he had to take a break from comedy to deal with his personal matters, but now he’s back and taking the comedy scene by storm once more. As well as starring in BBC3’s This Country and BBC’s Edinburgh Fringe Highlights, Matt has also recently recorded an episode of BBC2’s Stand Up at BBC Wales, Amazon’s Audible Presents and Stand Up For BBC Radio Wales.
Matt also made his hotly anticipated debut solo show at The Edinburgh Fringe in 2018 at The Pleasance with Happy Hour, a humorous approach to his alcoholism and his everyday life.
The rising star has won a whole host of awards including; Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year, Leicester Square Comedian of The Year, Welsh Unsigned Act of The Year and Loaded LAFTAs, as well as being nominated for Chortle Best Newcomer.

"Matt's writing was a stand out. Apparently casual asides spin out into fresh routines" Chortle
