Armed with impressions and caffeine, Cal Verduchi (6 to 8 and 13 to 15 May) has been taking his high-energy act to comedy clubs all over the USA. Ever since he was a small child, he has been making people laugh by doing impressions. Now Cal combines hilarious dead-on impressions with edgy high-energy antics. From Ozzy Ozbourne to Chris Farley, he does it all.

Brooklyn native Dwayne Perkins (20 to 22 and 27 to 29 May) is a newcomer to the comedy game, but has already racked up appearances on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, The Late Late Show and has become a regular crowd-pleaser on comedy club stages in New York, Boston and Los Angeles.
