After a sellout run at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, Leila is bringing her debut show - 'an eye-catching introduction to a comic of promise' (Guardian) - to ours for one week only.

 

– TEN BEST JOKES AT THE FRINGE –
Guardian

The Welsh, brown, gay, Gen-Z comedian presents an audacious punk musical-comedy show about the dubious ethics of artistically exploiting marginalised identities for social gain.

Leila grew up learning to utilise and monopolise her ‘minority identity’ for evil and mischief. Her show doesn’t rely on these identities, but her overwhelming prodigious talent, actually.

Star of BBC’s Vandullz and the BBC New Comedy Awards 2022, Leila has written for Bad Education (BBC) and Never Mind The Buzzcocks (Sky), and can be heard in Channel 4’s Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared.

Loved the show? Wanna see more?

This show has now passed, but we have a full festival programme of comedy, theatre and cabaret throughout the year. Check out what's on now to find more great shows coming up.
