Chuckl. Paignton with Angela Barnes, Ignacio Lopez & Special Guests

Angela Barnes swapped a career in health and social care for stand up in 2010 and hasn’t looked back. Within just a couple of years she had won the BBC New Comedy Award in 2011 and has since toured the UK and starred in BBC Two’s iconic 21 series Mock the Week as a regular, as well as Live at the Apollo, and Hypothetical on Dave. She is a firm favourite on BBC Radio 4, having featured on The Now Show and The News Quiz – including a recent stint as the host, she also hosted BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Newsjack. Angela co-hosted the less-than-serious popular podcast We Are History, which has just teamed up with Podmasters, with John O’Farrell. Six series strong and with over a million downloads, the two history nerds discuss, explain, and laugh at interesting and quirky episodes from the olden days....

Ignacio Lopez is a Spanish & Welsh comedian based in Cardiff. His family is made up of Spanish, Welsh, Irish, Moroccan, and Germans. Family get-togethers are like a meeting of the U.N. Branded Spain’s Best Export by the Spanish Embassy and Office of Culture in the UK, Ignacio has appeared on TV shows including Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Comedy Central Live, and more. As well as hosting on TV, headlining top comedy clubs all over the U.K and Europe, and taking the piss out of British people directly to their faces, Ignacio writes sketches, sitcoms, and used to tweet a lot. Every few months something he tweeted would go viral and he'd gain a few thousand followers before they realise he doesn't just tweet witty observations about public transport and songs about hating the U.K. - then they unfollow until the next tweet goes viral. The fickle bastards. Having performed for the Wales football squad, opened for James Dean Bradfield of Manic Street Preachers, Entertained the military, and hosted comedy and corporate events around the World, at last count (probably this morning) Ignacio's videos have received over 100 Million views online....
