Emerging Acts: Online exclusive

In a year that’s been really difficult for Live comedians, we wanted to support the most exciting emerging talent with Funny Festival Live.

Each night we invited a newer comic to perform a 5 minute set alongside the more established acts. These sets weren’t broadcast, but the performances were so strong we wanted them to have a home which is why we’re hosting them here as online exclusives.

Pharmacist by day, stand up comic by night, Ola smashes stereotypes with her edgy comedy.
