Join us for a night of celebration as we honour the pioneers who changed the game and the new voices shaping its future.
As more and more black comedians find major success on our television screens, we pay homage to those who paved the way and opened the doors for Black comedy in the UK with the Pioneers Of Comedy by bringing you a massive superstar line up of award-winning stand-up comedians, television & radio presenters and actors. Also, we introduce the next generation of comedians; we’ve handpicked the funniest and best new comedians already doing big things on television, social media and the comedy circuit and signed to the same agencies as Mo Gilligan, Judi Love and Slim.
