Description

Our fifth year! Back with top Black international comedy acts, prize games, cabaret and giving a token straight white male comic a chance they rarely get. With previous headliners such as Paul Sinha, Desiree Burch, Dane Baptiste and Daliso Chaponda, there's a fresh line-up every day. It's like a 1970s cabaret show but with more colour and less racism!

Squeezed this show in as really wanted to see new talent. So glad we did. Laughing from start to finish. Original material and pacey delivery. You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely hilarious, great way to learn of amazing comedians of colour. The host Che Burnley has created an amazing show.
