STUART MITCHELL
Early in 2009 Stuart Mitchell was tipped to have a promising future after his first ever gig when the judging panel of the UK's biggest comedy competition gave him special mention for an "amazing performance" - opening with a line acknowledged by one of the judges to be "possibly the best first line of a first gig ever". Since then Stuart has performed across the UK and in 2010 won The Leicester Comedy Festival New Act of The Year Competition (Funhouse). In May 2010 Mitchell became an "internet sensation" (Daily Record) after he appeared on Frank Skinner's Opinionated TV show receiving a standing ovation by panel members Patrick Kielty, Sarah Millican and Skinner with the BBC using it as one of their highlight videos on YouTube. "Stuart Mitchell held the crowd’s attention with clever anecdotes that sent his audience one way then another before hitting them with a quick succession of punch lines and call-backs that were genuinely surprising and amusing"
Giggle Beats As well as being a comedy performer and writer Stuart is studying acting at Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and has a number of TV appearances including being the focus of a Channel 4 documentary "Tricky Business" in 2006 and was recently the face of a Organ Donation campaign across Scotland.
