AUTUMN NABD'NESS

Ivan Brackenbury (Headline Act)
Inept hospital radio DJ Ivan Brackenbury is the creation of Tom Binns, a former breakfast radio host on London's XFM as well as a stand-up comedian in his own right.
As himself, Tom Binns won the Jongleurs new act of the year, piloted his own chat show on Five called ‘Tom Binns Munchies’, and was one of the presenters on Channel 4 breakfast show ‘Rise’. He’s also appeared on ‘Knowing Me Knowing Yule’ With Alan Partridge and ‘Friday Night Armistice’ as a comic actor.
He created Ivan Brackenbury relatively early in his career, and the character appeared on Radio 1, Virgin Radio and GLR, before being rested as Binns developed his own radio career, which included landing XFM with a then-record £50,000 fine for talking about bestiality on air.
However, Brackenbury was resurrected for the Edinburgh Fringe 2007, where he was nominated for the if.comedy prize for the best show, and his Roadshow, complete with inappropriate records and bungled cues, is now a regular fixture on the live circuit.
Ivan Brackenbury is Hospital Radio’s Flagship Presenter. He presents his ‘Disease Hour’ every week on Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Hospital Radio. He's also been heard on ‘Lee and Herring Fist of Fun’ on BBC Radio 1.
At The Farmyard Party 2009 Ivan Brackenbury headlined a huge comedy line-up in the Smacked Arse Comedy Show within the temporarily re-named 65% Biker Marquee, where he took the show to a standing ovation involving over 3,000 bikers.
In the last few days of 2009 Tom was outrageously sacked by some idiots at a radio station in the Midlands for making a joke about the Queens Christmas Speech.
At the You’ve Been Nabbed 19 rally in May 2010 Ivan once again proved to be a comedy superstar when he headlined a huge line-up of comedy gods at the NABD’s main annual showcase event.

Ruff Daddy

Britain’s most unique stand-up comedian is two foot six inches of feisty drunken swearing Yorkshire pensioner.
“Like Les Dawson meets John Prescott pissed-up in a kebab shop”. He has burst onto the UK comedy scene like an exploding fat girl.
If you think that sounds intriguing, there’s more…
Ruff Daddy has a wife, she’s ‘Bad Mama’ and she “takes no f’ing prisoners!”
Visionary insight and outright filth with puppetry so sharp it’ll get you over Kermit. Written and performed by Steve Wright and Simon Kerrigan this act is something totally unique in the genre of stand-up comedy!

Rick Hulse first saw Ruff Daddy when they performed on the same bill at Manchester’s famous Frog & Bucket comedy club in an “Asylum” show. He laughed so hard that he spilt his own drink (that really doesn’t happen very often). A packed room of hardened comedy club regulars and nine other comedy acts, including the marvellous Richard Herring, were smitten by a rude, grumpy, incredibly funny, beer-swilling puppet and there was no question that Ruff Daddy just had to be introduced to the bike rally scene. At the You’ve Been Nabbed 18 motorcycle rally, 2000+ people were in pain from laughing so hard and so long when Ruff Daddy and Bad Mama took centre stage in the Frog & Bucket Comedy Club Roadshow. Over the past twelve months Ruff Daddy has become an iconic comedy act on the bikers comedy circuit.

Ian Cognito

Ian Cognito is a British stand-up comedian known for his confrontational and aggressive style, and for being banned from more venues than anyone else.
He is one of the best known comics on the national circuit, a veteran who clearly knows what he’s doing as he spits his darkly humorous vitriol over an unsuspecting crowd. Outspoken, opinionated, and totally clued up, this man’s take on the world will have you convinced and convulsed (with laughter).

This is Ian’s first performance in a Smacked Arse Comedy Show and his reputation alone suggests that it will be a memorable occurrence.

The Smacked Arse Search for a Star spot:

We will once again be proudly presenting a future comedy star to give them a step up on the ladder to a successful comedy career.
One ‘lucky’ member of the UK’s huge contingent of ‘up-and-coming’ comics will face the daunting task of entertaining a couple of thousand bikers in a huge tent, in a field, somewhere in Oxfordshire for no pay whatsoever. So no pressure at all eh?

Paul Savage (Special guest act):

Paul Savage started out on his comedy journey in Dec 2006 by unusual means. Having only heard the phrase open mike in the context of comedy, Savage took to the stage of a club in Moseley and started his tirade against Dido, and wove in a story of webcam fraud, unaware that open mike is also used in music terms, and he was essentially crashing an acoustic guitar night. He has never used either of those pieces of material again.

Rick Hulse (Host & Compére):
Rick Hulse's comedy style is brash, uncompromising and down-to-earth. Though the language can be raw, his insights into the world of, dieting, drugs, marriage, sex, and motorcycling never fail to entertain.
Having a twisted philosophical view on just about any subject, from ranting against life’s inequalities to musing on the design of human genitalia, makes for an unpredictable show. His long involvement in the biking scene, seventeen years as the Chairman of the NABD and thirteen years of writing comic fiction and manic articles under such names as Professor Pierre O’Bollox, M Phetamine and Shirley Crabtree, together with his off-hand Mancunian manner have made him a firm favourite in hosting bikers parties and rallies.
If you are looking for political correctness bring a microscope. Rick’s acerbic Mancunian wit bulldozes its way through life, the universe and everything (everything sex or alcohol related anyway).
