BAFTA award winning comedian Luisa Omielan is bringing her hilarious ‘God is a Woman’ show to Southport Comedy Festival 2021.
She will be among a host of top comedians performing under canvas in a stylish marquee at Victoria Park in Southport in this 17-day extravaganza this October, in association with Anthony James Estate Agents.
Other headliners appearing at the festival between 1st October and 17th october include: Ed Byrne, Hal Cruttenden, James Byrne, Tez Ilyas, Paul Sinha, Geoff Norcott, Mark Thomas, Reginald D Hunter and Jo Caulfield.
Luisa already has three groundbreaking hit shows under her belt.
First, she asked “What Would Beyonce Do?! “ (sell out across the UK and Australia, is what she would do!), then she asked “Am I Right Ladies?!” and her thigh gap joke went viral with over 45 million views. Then she turned to politics and got a show on the BBC called “Politics for Bitches”.
So the next logical step was for Luisa to bring her unique genre of comedy to religion – expect Mary Magdalene jokes.
Luisa has been featured in The Guardian, The Radio Times, Forbes, Vogue, The Metro, Stylist Magazine, The Huffington Post, The Telegraph and countless other publications.
She’s been nominated two years in a row for Best Comedy Show at the Melbourne International Festival and loves taking her universal shows around the world.
Luisa is the first comedian to be acknowledged with a BAFTA Breakthrough award.
“The biggest stand up hit of the decade”
The Guardian
‘She should be put on the national curriculum’
The Scotsman
“One of the most powerful and provocative hours on The Fringe”
The Telegraph
Luisa has created a unique genre of comedy that’s a heart-wrenching journey; part rave and part rally. Her shows are uplifting, thought provoking, ahead-of-the-times and damn funny. She counts Dawn French, Lenny Henry, Richard Curtis and Ruby Wax as super fans.
And yes, Luisa will be accompanied on stage by her partner in crime, Bernie – the funniest Bernese mountain dog on the block.
