Anecdotal, observational and refreshingly honest in style, Gerry K’s comedy is enriched by a somewhat unique perspective. Real name Gerry Kyei (pronounced “Chay”), Gerry was born in the East End, but grew up in rural Essex (a million miles away from the traditional Essex stereotype towns like Harlow, Basildon, Romford and Southend). In addition to providing some truly original insights into life in rural England, these early experiences have ensured Gerry’s comedy delights an incredible range of audiences often confounds expectations.

Starting in comedy as the result of a dare, his rise to headline act was a quick one, scooping a range of accolades along the way including; The Comedy Store’s ‘King Gong’, Metrolife Comedy Newcomer, and The Comedy Café’s Best Newcomer Awards.

As an actor he has appeared on The Bill and Angelo’s and recently enjoyed a cameo role on Jimmy Carr’s Xmas DVD. As a presenter, he’s hosted the football forum with former England international and I’m A Celebrity bad boy Rodney Marsh and legendary Sky host Jeff Stelling for Zoo Magazine and has also guested on BBC Nottingham’s ‘The Breakfast Show’.

With his energetic and likeable personality, infectious joie de vivre and a beaming smile that warms up the coldest of nights, Gerry K is a truly feelgood act.

"Gerry K was fabulous – super entertainer and a lovely guy. We’re all still talking about the evening and remembering some of his jokes – very very funny :o) star player – hope to seem him at ‘Live at the Apollo’ soooooooooooon. Cheers and thanks again" Proctor & Gamble

"Gerry was fab and everyone thought so. I have only heard good things from the night and my boss thought he was very good and he is hard to please. Thank Gerry on mine and my guests behalf, he was fab" 92 Squadron Hullavington

Some people just have all round likeability factor and Jake Steers is certainly one of them with charisma in spades. An easy conversational style makes audiences warm to him immediately and his one off persona and off the cuff style has audience in stitches. Catch him now before he’s too big to be playing comedy clubs!

“Strong punch lines delivered with a lovely laid-back style” Glass Eye

“You can’t help but be in a good mood when you watch Jake on stage. Likeable, natural and very funny.” Big Deal
