Ask a Comedian: Daliso Chaponda

We’re filming a brand new special with comedian Daliso Chaponda this week, and, if he's up for it, we’ll grab a quick little Q&A while we’ve got him. 🎥

So…what should we ask Daliso?

If you're new to this series, anything comedy is on the table. Writing new bits, pre-gig rituals, nerves, hecklers, bombing (and recovering), warm-ups, favourite rooms, the ethics of stolen jokes, how jokes get built, whatever you’re curious about.

We’ll choose 3–5 and get him to answer!
