Every Wednesday at The Finsbury, Bear Funny Comedy bring you some of UK's best comedians trying out brand new material.
At this show you will see three acts performing for thirty minutes each seperated by a break to explore our excellent bar, food and facilities at the Finsbury.
On Wednesday March 18th, we feature:
LOU SANDERS:
Lou is one of the most original comedians in Britain. She is the current reigning champion of the last series of Taskmaster (DAVE) and other recent television appearances include QI (BBC2), Travel Man: 48 Hours in… (Channel 4) and Aisling Bea's Sitcom "This Way Up" (C4).
Lou's debut in Edinburgh was in 2011, but following following rave reviews of the 2018 show 'Shame Pig' focused on the hilarious outcomes of reckless behavior winning the Comedian's Choice award. Sell out UK tours beckoned. Last year, her 2019 show at Edinburgh's Fringe (Say Hello To Your New Step-Mummy) was a sell out and can still be seen on tour. See Lou's BBC Live At The Apollo set from 2019 on Vimeo here!
