Laugh off the winter blues with a night of comedy.
On the line-up is Daliso Chaponda, who came third in the eleventh series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2017. Daliso is the son of a Malawian politician who began his comedy career in Canada in 2001. He then moved to South Africa and eventually on to the UK, where he established himself on the club circuit and appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In addition to stand-up, Daliso is also a fiction writer. In 2002 he was a finalist in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest and in 2005 he was shortlisted for the P&E Award for online writing.
Daliso will be supported by Jonny Awsum, who also appeared on Britain’s Got Talent in 2017.
