The Alternative Black Comedy Showcase
Comedy
Che Burnley / PBH's Free Fringe Top black international comedy acts who are still able to get into the country or afford accomodation.

With previous headliners such as Paul Sinha (ITV's The Chase), Desiree Burch (Live at the Apollo) and Langston Kerman (Amazon Prime's The Boys). It's like a 1970s cabaret show but with more colour and less racism! Back for our seventh year bigger, better and blacker. \*\*\*\*\* (ToDoList.london). None
