💬 Ask a Comedian: Who’s next?

Hey gang! Quick question: Who are you dying to see on the Ask a Comedian series?

Whether it's a rising star you just discovered on NextUp or an absolute legend of the circuit on here, drop their name in the comments. Who should we get on next? 👇

Saw one of you guys recommend a show last week so I thought I'd do the same! Love Josh Jone's Lad on Tour. He's just the best! Has anyone given it a watch and what did you think??

🚨 Got 2 minutes to help save grassroots live comedy? (Yes, really!)

Hiya UK NextUppers! 

We recently got an email from the Live Comedy Association (LCA), and they need our help with something incredibly important.

Right now, grassroots live music gets a lot of love and official backing from the government, but grassroots live comedy doesn't get that same recognition as an essential part of the creative industries. The LCA is trying to change that so our industry can get the support, funding and respect it deserves.

This week, they went to Westminster to pitch this directly to MPs, but to really make a dent, they need volume. That’s where we come in.

It takes literally two minutes to help them out. Here is what we need to do:

• Step 1: Click this link to send a pre-written letter to your local MP.

• Step 2: The letter asks them to back the campaign and pressure the Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy, to support live comedy.

• Step 3: Share the link with your comedy-loving friends and family.

The more noise we make, the harder we are to ignore. Let's show them how powerful the NextUp community is!

Thank you so much for backing live comedy. Let's get to writing! 📣

Late to the party but I watched Rachel Parris for the first time last night and BOY have I missed out on this particular genre of stand-up. Officially a fan 😂 

Need some collective brainpower here 😂 Does anyone remember an 80s/90s stand-up monologue ranting about the word "nice"? I’m convinced it’s Alexei Sayle because it was so loud and angry lol. Spent ages looking on YouTube and found zero. Help!
