HEADLINING:

ANDREA HUBERT

Winner Of The “Best Debut Show” At What’s On London Comedy Awards

With over a decade on the comedy circuit Andrea Hubert has performed at prestigious comedy clubs all over the UK, been commissioned as a writer for a BBC pilot and was shortlisted for the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum at the New York Television Festival.

“Simultaneously funny, horrific, shocking and genuine. It’s a fine balancing act from a performer with charm and skill.” Fest

★★★★ “Hubert delivers a refreshingly sardonic debut show, providing a whole lot of laughs” What’s On London

 “A keen writing skill [and] archly cynical attitude. Her slick, fluid set is rich with inventive, sarcastic gags.” Chortle

“Smart, engaging and charismatic, Hubert is a hit.” London Is Funny

SUPPORT COMES FROM:

PRINCE ABDI

As seen on ITV’s “Show Me The Funny”

Like many stand-up comedians, Abdi was originally a teacher but after quickly establishing himself on the stand-up circuit he quit teaching to pursue a comedic career full-time. He has since performed across the UK, Canada, the United States, Holland, Northern Ireland, Kenya and Turkey. Abdi’s comedy style has been described as original, confident, refreshing, upbeat, and infectious drawing on his roots in Somalia, and growing up in Brixton.

He has performed on Comedy Central’s The World Stands Up, BBC Three’s Laughter Shock and ITV’s FHM Stand Up Hero.

“Infectious and hilarious” The Guardian

“Upbeat and funny” Chortle

SHORT SPOTS:

TOM TOWELLING

Musical Comedy Award 2024 – Winner

Birmingham Breaking Talent Award 2024 – Winner

Tom Towelling is an old school fop with a nu age vibe. He brings a wild, anything can happen kind of energy. Musical, offbeat and alternative, he has received some recent praise for his performances:

“He’s a welcome addition to the circuit’s collection of weirdos.” Chortle

“So odd that it became entrancingly funny.” Beyond the Joke

ABBIE EDWARDS

Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian Of The Year 2024 Finalist

Describing her approach to stand-up comedy as “self-deprecating,” Abbie Edwards got a taste for performing after appearing at a University of Southampton Freshers Event in 2017. Now living in North West London, where she works in education, Abbie cites Sharon Wanjohi, James Acaster and Stewart Lee as some of her comedy inspirations.

All wonderfully hosted by the Funny Side’s resident compere GARETH KANE
