Stewart Francis

Stewart Francis is a Canadian comedian. He is now based in the UK, where his two parents are ironically both from, and specializes in one-liners, delivered with a deadpan, relaxed voice. He has only recently come into the scene, thanks to programmes such as Mock the Week, 8 out of 10 Cats and The Omid Djalili Show. I would describe his style as like normal one-liners comedians, except he does manage to have a consistent topic throughout, making a story out of lots of small sentences. I would definitely recommend him, so take a look below and see what you think.

Andi Osho

Andi Osho

Andi Osho is a Plaistow born comedian of Nigerian background. Her parents are both Nigerian, but although she is fiercely proud of her African background she regularly pokes fun at the Nigerian way of life; mothers threatening their daughters, the conversations of gay men, the difference between MCing (Can't Touch This) and simply talking fast and how only men are shown assembling stuff in the IKEA catalogue.

She is the one of the newest comedians around, having only started in 2006, age 33, making her the oldest, black, Plaistow-Nigerian, female comedian to perform in England.

She has won more awards that you won't have heard of; the Laughing Horse Competition, the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year and the Nivea Funny Women Award, not for her hair, which is awesome, but for her actual material.

She has appeared on TV shows such as Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Short History of Everything Else and her own show, The Andi O Show. (hilarious)

Omid Djalili

Omid Djalili

Omid Djalili (oh-mid JAH-lily) was born in Chelsea, London to Iranian Bahá'í parents. He was educated in England and Northern Ireland  But, his material is mainly about the differences between the religions of Iran and England, and the differences between the two cultures as well. He does excellent impressions and sometimes belly dancing. He is a Chelsea Football Club fan, and regularly gigs at Stamford Bridge, their stadium. He has appeared in films such as The World Is Not Enough (2000), Notting Hill (1999) and Gladiator (2000), and the TV programmes Have I Got News for You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and his own, The Omid Djalili Show.  He has won awards like The EMMA award, LWT Comedy Award and the One World Media Award (the ones nobody has ever heard of). He is currently married and has three children, who have all somehow learned how to pronounce, and spell, his name.

Michael McIntyre

Michael McIntyre

Michael McIntyre is one of the most well known British comedians of this century, (the 21st, in case you forgot). Most people will know him for his Chinese grin, girly laugh and special walking style. He was born in Merton, in South-West London, and then raised in Hampstead. His dad was a Canadian entertainer, Ray Cameron, who worked with many British comedians like Barry Cryer and Kenny Everett. His mum, Kati,  was half British, half Hungarian, and was a dancer. His parents split when he was seven, and both remarried, but unfortunately his dad died age 53 of a heart attack. He married Kitty Ward in 2003, the only woman he actually managed to string a conversation with, who he fancied, and together they have had two children, Lucas and Oscar, who he regularly includes in his shows. He has done a Live at the Apollo show three times and has had his own shows, Hello Wembley! and Live and Laughing. He has written an autobiography, Life and Laughing, which is well worth a read, and has just started his autumn tour of England and Ireland 2012, which I am going to (woohoo!).

The Ones You Know or Should Know.
