Content Advice

The critically acclaimed debut show about suffering (and smiling) from Nigerian stand-up Ayoade Bamgboye.

Winner: Best Newcomer
Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2025

Following her sold-out run at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, Swings and Roundabouts transfers to Soho. 

Burdened by the gift of sight, a primeval awareness that something is not quite right, and almost three accents, she’ll ask life’s big questions and provide absolutely no answers. 

Born in London, raised in Lagos, sacked in Budapest, the poor woman has been there and done that – and to what end? 

Swings and Roundabouts is about going nowhere fast, being too British to stop apologising, and too Nigerian to stop shouting. 

Directed by Anna Fox.
