Friday 18th September 2026
September’s Marches Comedy night sees Cerys Nelmes and your host for the evening.
Cerys Nelmes has had a very colourful and eventful life which she loves talking about to make people laugh. She performs her comedy in a story telling style with a West Country charm that is easy to warm to. She has worked very hard to forge a strong career in the comedy industry and is a leading mc on the comedy circuit, working for major UK clubs and UK charity events. Cerys has a fantastic stage presence and her audience interaction is flawless. Cerys performs all over the World for the Military and was the last ever comedian to perform in Afghanistan before they withdrew!
Next up, we have Sully Jones. From Merthyr to Melbourne award-winning Sully has taken his working-class wit to new heights. A former lead miner in the Australian mines, Sully is now a powerhouse recently emerging from the Welsh stand-up circuit. His passionate style and well crafted joke writing have earned him Cardiff’s coveted Golden Thumb Award 2023 as well as being hailed as ‘one to watch’ by Edinburgh Fringe’s Gilded Balloon.
The middle act is Phil Cooper. Hailing from The Rhondda Valley, Phil blends Welsh charm with observational, sometimes slightly surreal humour, often riffing off social justice themes and audience interactions. He stands out with his unique mix of storytelling, sharp wit and a relaxed yet engaging demeanor.
The Headline of the night is Dean Coughlin. Dean is a multi-award winning, working-class comic from Liverpool, who has quickly established an outstanding reputation for his talent. Dean won Breakthrough Act of The Year, and Best Comedy Podcast at The Northwest Comedy Awards. Since its inception in 2021, his podcast, Mild High Club , has amassed a following of 160k+ across social media platforms. Dean is fresh off the back of doing full tour support for Dan Nightingale; his previous tour support spots include Paul Smith, Adam Rowe, Jason Manford, Fin Taylor and Lloyd Griffith.
Dean has a unique and whimsical approach to joke writing that adds working-class charm and diversity to any bill. He has performed at famous venues such as The Stand Comedy Club, The Glee Club and Hot Water Comedy Club - where he spent two years as resident host. Dean has also performed internationally in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and Amsterdam, proving himself to be an accomplished, reliable comic.
