Ginnia Cheng is an up and coming comedienne who was shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Award 2021 and the winner of Louis Theroux and Amazon Studios’ Looking For Louis Competition. Handpicked by BBC Writersroom for a programme featuring East Asian talent, you can catch her sassy, saucy and silly observational comedy at London’s top clubs on bills with comedians like Phil Wang, Tez Ilyas and Lou Sanders.

“An exciting young talent” - Louis Theroux


Freya Mallard

Freya Mallard is an exciting, up and coming voice in standup comedy. She is erratically anxious and unadvisedly optimistic. Her silly, fun and slightly absurd take on life make her a delight to watch!

"Hugely talented" - EdFringe Review (relation status unknown)

Katie Price is a fast-rising comedian who reached the finals of the LGBTQ Comedian of the Year award. In addition to this, she is also the resident host of the sell-out monthly comedy nights at Angel Comedy, Mazel Tov and Cocktails and Treif Comedy. Unashamed to tackle important issues with a tongue-in-cheek charm, Katie finds humour in personal and societal issues and has been praised by many for her writing.

"A to-die-for opening gag...Price does more than enough to prove she can write a good gag" - Chortle

"Excellent stage presence and pinpoint accurate writing" - Helen Lederer, BBC and David Morgan, Comedy Central

"I don't often watch someone where I think 'I wish I'd written that' but I thought that about 15 times watching you, fast and fucking furious. Really brave" - Scott Capurro


RICKY BALSHAW

Ricky Balshaw is a Paralympic, World Championship and European Championship dressage medallist turned comedian and writer, with a penchant for dark humour. He is also a BBC New Comedy Award finalist who has appeared on BBC One and BBC Three. He has performed at clubs such as Hot Water Comedy Club and clubs across the Midlands.
