I have a cosy 'Ask a Comedian' post for you to read tonight...🤩

We asked Esther Manito about a bit from her show ‘Crusade’ (go to the 15 minute mark to see what I'm talking about!)

Here are some of the questions we asked, enjoy! 

1. Is Neil actually this British in real life, or is this stage exaggeration?
He is so British. Honestly the most British man there ever was. I think he might be Dickens.

2. Does he know he’s now a recurring character in your shows?
Everyone I talk about knows they’re talked about and what’s said. It’s my love language!

3. Have his parents seen this bit?
Ummm…I’m not sure what bits they’ve seen. It will never be mentioned!

4. Is there anything else he does which highlights the cultural differences?
He loves custard. Something my Mediterranean side can’t process.

5. What’s a bit in the full show that people who’ve only seen this clip might not expect?
I don’t think people expect the clips…[including a brilliant interview with Australian politician, Stephanie Banister]

Definitely a show worth fully watching if you haven't yet! 🤭

AHH! New Show Alert!

Susie McCabe's special, Best Behaviour, is here. Go go go! 😍

Comedy night out, anyone?🤩

Hey gang! 

Hope you’re all having a brilliant evening! Remember last week when I told ya about the launch of the brand-new comedy radio station, ComedyUK? 📻

Well, to celebrate their launch, they're having an amazing live celebration roadshow next month!

It’s all kicking off at the legendary Leicester Square Theatre on Thursday, 18th June. The fantastic Thanyia Moore is hosting, and she’s joined by an incredible lineup including Jessica Fostekew, Alex Kealy, Ria Lina, and Roman Harris. It’s genuinely going to be an absolute blast of a night.

If you haven’t sorted your plans yet and fancy a brilliant night out full of proper belly laughs, you can still grab your tickets here:

Hello hello (or should I say Bonsoir😉)!
