Joint winner of Best Newcomer at the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2025 and the Bestie Award for Emerging Talent, Ayo has quickly become one of the most exciting new voices in UK comedy. His debut sold out its entire Edinburgh Fringe run, with three extra shows added, and earned nominations at the Comedians’ Comedian Awards for and across the press.
With laid-back charm and razor-sharp storytelling, Ayo takes us from primary school nativity plays to lads’ holidays, from respectability politics to Red Bull sponsorship. Exploring race, sexuality, and belonging with warmth and wit, he crafts a show that’s as heartfelt as it is hilarious.
A standout new talent who has already supported Sarah Keyworth, Olga Koch and Amy Matthews, Ayo Adenekan is one to watch, and not to miss.
