Line Up
Perrier and Time Out Award nominee Sarah Kendall delivers a sassy, intelligent and thought provoking style of comedy.
'Thoughtful, intelligent, subtle, enlightening and… really funny. Kendall has a dry, subtle British-style sense of humour' (The Observer)
'An intelligent, thoughtful and wryly amusing exploration of ideas, passionately presented by a young comic willing to set her aim high rather than follow a lazy route to easy laughs' (http://www.chortle.com)
'Aussie stand-up Sarah Kendall is in terrific form... a comic play with a great script, top cast, witty dialogue and near perfect staging' (Edinburgh Evening News).
East London lad with an instantly amenable onstage demeanour, Bilal's material is a mix of the topical, the anecdotal and the mildly bizarre, doused in a liberal smattering of inventive imagery.
Bilal won Edinburgh Comedy Awards New Act Of The Year 2016 and in 2015 he was the runner up at the Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year competition.
“Witty and absorbing…highly entertaining. I look forward to whatever Zafar cooks up next” (Dominic Maxwell, The Times).
“Endearing, relaxed and naturally funny…hilarious” (Emily Phillips, EdFest Mag).
A Gits and Shiggles favourite, Dane Baptiste has hosted Live at the Apollo, as well as appearing on Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Live from the BBC, Alan Davies' As Yet Untitled, @elevenish, The Apprentice: You're Fired, Live at the London Palladium and Frankie Boyle's New World Order. He also wrote and starred in his own BBC sitcom, Sunny D.
