Luke Honnoraty
Luke’s comedy career began with a bang when he won Southwest New Act of the Year in 2010 – on his 3rd ever gig!
The North Devon Stand Up is a confident, engaging performer whose skilled story telling is sure to captivate any crowd and which has ensured he continues to be the main stage MC for Oceanfest and the MC for the comedy stage at Boardmasters Festival.
Luke’s observational comedy which focuses on parenting and relationships, is always delivered with a cheeky but charismatic style, and made him Katherine Ryan’s choice of tour support for her UK tour. He then went on to support Joel Dommet’s tour in 2017 and and Lloyd Griffith on this UK tour 2017, 2018 and 2019.
A truly natural and gifted comedian and Presenter of the Comedy Special for BBC Radio Devon, Luke makes you feel most comfortable talking about the most uncomfortable subjects; the way in which he communicates such topics whilst making you fall further in love with his boyish charm is all part of the Honnoraty experience.
Pravanya Pillay
Pravanya Pillay is a stand up comedian and writer. She delivers anecdotal comedy with surreal observations.
Pravanya was featured on BBC Three’s Asian Network Comedy, Comedy Central’s Rhod Gilbert’s Growing Pains and is a 2023 Chortle Award ‘Best Newcomer Nominee’. She has supported Olga Koch and Sophie Duker on tour.
As a writer, she has written for BBC Radio 4 (The Now Show, Best Medicine and TL;DR) as well as BBC Radio Wales (Beena & Amrit and Welcome Strangers).
