June Headliner - David Whitley
Born in Aberdeen to a military family, David’s formative years were spent all over the world in various army camps. David went to a military school Gordons in Surrey, where he learnt the bagpipes and ironically an English accent. The plan was to join the British Army until the last minute when he chickened out and minced off to drama school instead. David plays the bagpipes which has served him well, piping at many events including the Royal Tournament, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Gwen Stefani’s wedding. He also busked in London to fund his training at Drama Centre.
Training at the Drama Centre from 1998 to 2001, David was very lucky to be in the last intake to be trained by the two genius mentors Christopher Fettes and Yat Malmgren.
After graduating David spent the following years pursuing his love of theatre and Shakespeare, performing the roles of Mercutio, MacDuff, Fluellen in Henry V, in various productions up and down the country.
Fast forward a few years… David is in America, and after telling a string of lies to impress an agent, he found himself performing his very first stand up comedy gig at the Friars Club in Beverly Hills. He’s never looked back and now regularly plays some of the biggest clubs in the country.
David is still an active actor. He was involved in the BAFTA wining comedy Fonejaker and is acting in many films. Clips can be seen on the videos page of this website.
Ashish Suri
Starting 2022 with his first solo show at Soho Theatre, London and getting nominated for the prestigious Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2022, Ashish was also awarded the judges' pick Panel Prize at the Beat the Frog World Series and named the runner-up for the Brighton New Grin Comedy Award 2021 within the same week.
He lives and breathes stand-up comedy and is at the heart of a number of scratch comedy shows, supporting grass-roots comedy in his dual roles of artist wrangler and resident MC in clubs like The Comedy Cabin in Hoxton.
Ashish’s journey in the U.K. started as a student but quickly lead him to stand-up comedy in search of a cheap substitute for therapy and lack of social life. Nine years down the line he is now a comedian and a full time immigrant, telling the stories of how outside of the Motherland (India) even the simple things in life are different and that despite his tan, he's just as weird as everyone else.
