‘An unapologetic celebration of comedians of colour’
Diva Magazine

The FOC IT UP! Comedy Club is an unapologetic celebration of comedians of colour that are not cis-men!

Since 2018, they have brought its revolutionary energy to sold out shows in London, Edinburgh Fringe, Latitude and Southbank Festival.

Hot off recording the first season of the FOC IT UP! Podcast, featuring stand-up from over 50 comedians, the Femmes of Colour are back at soho.

White audience members are encouraged to check their privilege at the door.
