Mick Miller and Nina Gilligan at St Mary's Church

Shrewsbury International Comedy Festival 2025

Mick Miller

Mick first came to prominence on the iconic ITV show The Comedians, and went on to co-host his own Saturday evening show on ITV called The Funny Side. Since then, he has been in constant demand on the circuit, working throughout the UK and around the world, and used his comedy talent and timing to land several acting roles. He has appeared in IDEAL with Johnny Vegas, and Peter Kay's Car Share. He fulfilled a lifetime ambition to work in Las Vegas when he was chosen to be part of the major ITV series Last Laugh in Vegas.

Nina Gilligan

A trained actor at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Nina is sometimes outrageous, but always hilarious with a charming, loveable persona which belies an acerbic wit. She is a skilled writer, creator and improviser and has written several comedy shows and plays. Described by The Skinny as 'A bolshier Mrs Merton she’s not one to suffer fools lightly so watch out for a razor-sharp wit used at will', she was acknowledged as Best Act at both the Chortle and North West Comedy Awards in 2023
