Named as one of 2018 BAFTA Breakthrough Brits, host of Comic Relief and Live at the Apollo funny-face, Luisa Omielan has earned her stripes as a feisty, forthright and frankly downright funny stand-up comic. Join her at The Frog and Bucket when she tries out some exclusive, brand new material for an upcoming project, work in progress, God is a Woman and Jesus was a Feminist.

Her popular ‘thigh gap’ video went viral totting up more than 10 million viewers on Facebook alone.

Luisa Omielan has toured three frenetically brilliant shows – What Would Beyonce Do?! From 2012, Am I Right Ladies?! In 2014, and more recently, Politics for Bitches. The latter managed to generate a BBC3 series, which fused standup comedy with investigative journalism. She’s also made the headlines for stripping down to her spanx, and her popular ‘thigh gap’ video went viral totting up more than 10 million viewers on Facebook alone.

Empowering and liberated; sassy and refreshing.

Labelled as one of ‘the biggest standup hits of the decade’ by The Guardian. This is a super chance to experience Luisa Omielan’s unique stand-up style – empowering and liberated; sassy and refreshing.

Did I mention that Luisa’s gorgeous mountain dog, Bernie will also feature in the show?
