Ola Labib is one of the leading breakout comedians taking the UK comedy circuit by storm. Being the only black, Muslim, female Sudanese performing comedy in the UK, the talented artist offers a unique insight into her traditional African Islamic upbringing through comedy. On a mission to smash stereotypes, the rising star has performed at leading comedy venues, including The Comedy Store, Hot Water and The Frog and Bucket. As a big fan of the industry heavyweights Dave Chappelle and Rick Gervais, Ola takes inspiration from the legendary comedians in her performances.
Moreover, Ola is mentored by the award-winning creator Danielle Scott-Haughton, who has helped her develop as a comedian. She prides herself on constantly evolving as a performer to deliver the best content for her audience. This mentality has seen Ola gain serious ground on the comedy circuit along with a rapidly growing online reputation. In addition to her comedy work, Ola has made an appearance on the CBBC show The Dog Ate My Homework and has contributed to documentary projects for Afromic.
On her weekly online series Would You Rather, Ola is known for making even the most collected guests sweat from her animated and cheeky content. Her infectious charm and edgy comedy could be further witnessed during her appearances on shows, such as BBC’s Funny Festival Live, Yesterday, Today & The Day Before and The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan. This soaring talent is now available to hire for private events, where she will leave the audience in stitches with her original comedy.
