This show is from a previous year's festival

The live music-based comedy pop quiz, featuring four top UK stand-ups. 

 “Employing live music mash-ups, megamixes (not enough of them nowadays) and music trivia, the nimble-fingered Deering pits comedians and the audience against each other” Comedy Central. 

A cult festival favourite – from the Big Chill, Machfest, The Green Man and five years on the Edinburgh Fringe – Rob Deering’s Beat This is never the same twice, an alchemical mix of Deering’s ‘highly impressive one-man soundscape powered mainly by energy and excellent guitar skills’ The Scotsman, an up-for-it and ever-involved audience and an impressive roster of fabulous – and equally up-for-it – contestants. Previous guests include James Acaster, Alan Davies, Gary Delaney, Nick Helm, Nish Kumar, Sarah Millican, Phil Nichol, Andi Osho, Lucy Porter, Frank Skinner, Greg Davies, Josh Widdicombe, Tim Vine and many, many more. 

Rob Deering holds and brings this all together, his skills as master of ceremonies as important as his improvisation, musicianship and encyclopaedic knowledge of pop. He knows it all so you don’t have to. 

“An evening in his company is nothing less than a joy” The Independent on Sunday  

“A highly impressive one-man soundscape powered mainly by energy and excellent guitar skills” The Scotsman
