Join us for a wonderful night of comedy with the BAFTA nominated comedian, Rachel Parris from the Mash Report and Live at the Apollo. On the same bill is the new comedy sensation Ania Magliano.
The BAFTA-nominated comedian, The Mash Report (BBC2) star, Live at the Apollo (BBC1) star and viral sensation, presents a work-in-progress hour of her signature blend of stand-up and songs.
‘This is classy, clever comedy – uproarious' (Scotsman). ‘Venomously witty’ (Evening Standard). ‘Beguiling... Her songs really score... a gifted performer’ (Times). ‘Perfect timing of wryly funny lines’ (Chortle.co.uk). ‘She has us hanging on her every word... One sometimes doubts that Britain's got talent, but Parris has it in spades’ (Guardian).
Ania’s sharp, wry writing combined with her affable performance style make her a ‘glittering new talent’ (The i Paper) of the UK comedy scene.
Her debut hour of comedy, Ania Magliano: Absolutely No Worries if Not, won Best New Show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2022, and went on to sell out its entire runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre. The Times described it as ‘the sort of elegantly amusing, surprising and inspiring debut hour that you come to the Fringe to see’, whilst the Guardian listed it as one of 10 Fringe Shows Not To Miss, saying it ‘will have you crying with laughter’.
Ania also writes with comedian, journalist and viral sensation Amelia Dimoldenberg on Chicken Shop Date and Amelia’s Cooking Show, featuring guests such as Ed Sheeran, Charli XCX and Louis Theroux. Ania has already appeared on ITV2’s The Stand Up Sketch Show and Dave’s The Comedy Guide to Life. She will be supporting Ed Gamble on his tour Electric across the country this autumn.
She has written for The Emily Atack Show (ITV2), Frankie Boyle’s New World Order (BBC2), Newsjack (BBC R4) and The Now Show (BBC R4). Ania has a growing social media following, including 25k followers on Twitter, and over 1 million views on Youtube with over 20k subscribers. She’s recently branched out into TikTok, amassing over 1.5 million likes.
