Desmond O’Connor is an award-winning writer, producer and performer with over twenty years' experience in cabaret, musical comedy and musical theatre. Desmond has been likened in the press to a modern-day Noel Coward, and his work as an MC and performer in shows and festivals worldwide, combined with his work as a presenter for MTV at Bestival and The Big Chill, has secured his status on the cabaret and comedy scene.

Zoie Kennedy has had a long and varied acting career including stints in PARADOX with Tamzin Outhwaite (Clerkenwell Films/BBC Worldwide), BLUE MURDER, HOLBY CITY, DOCTORS and EMMERDALE, but is probably best known for her role as Staff Nurse Meryl Taylor in ITV's THE ROYAL (Series I-V), for which she was shortlisted as 'Best Newcomer' in the National Television Awards.

Together, Zoie and Des have created shows for Glastonbury, Latitude, the ICA and The Box, London. Having created a festive programme for the Windamere Hotel in Darjeeling, since 2019 Des and Zoie have been thrilled to entertain the guests of Amilla both at New Year and over Easter 2021.
