Since 2018, Femmes of Colo(u)r Comedy Club has presented the fiercest mixed bills celebrating the perspectives of comedians of colour who aren’t cis-men.
Curated by founder Kemah Bob, line-ups are different every time, making each show a unique experience impossible to repeat, disrupting the status quo and fighting tokenism with a 100% no-white-dudes-onstage guarantee.
‘A new generation of comics retaliating against the old template of comedy.’
‘A riot of positivity and inclusivity.’
FOC IT UP! has hit London, Edinburgh, Latitude and Southbank Festival with electric, sell-out nights packed with big laughs and big energy. Since 2023, they’ve been bringing that same unstoppable vibe to Soho Theatre.
Ps: white audience members are encouraged to check their privilege at the door.
