Jake Yapp
Whether you are disgusted or enthralled by modern pop music, Jake Yapp's show might be for you. His niche is replicating the styles of such artists as Lloyd Webber, Lily Allen and Dizzie Rascall in a slightly satirical way. I say slightly, because Yapp doesn't quite reach the hilarity of Flight of the Conchords or Tim Minchin; he does, however, succeed in making the audience chuckle even if he lacks the razor edge of his more well known contemporaries. Despite the fact that his parodies could be better, Yapp has a talent for impressions and banter, and is happy to play on anything that the crowd throws at him, squeezing out its potential for humour with his skilled comic timing, before it becomes repetitive.
Just The Tonic @ The Caves, 6 - 30 Aug (not 18), 8.20pm (9.10pm), £8.00 (£6.50), fpp62.

I think, perhaps with some hindsight, you'll find Jake Yapp is little short of a hero of comedy.One of the lesser known heroes. The best kind of heroes.
