Lez Misérables

Delivering you a platter of the UK’s best and brightest queer female talent at the home of queer culture, The K Hole in Dalston! 

Proving that white, cis gay men don’t speak for our entire community, this night will feature three incredible performers, all of whom are TV and Comedy Club regulars with profits going to LGSM, supporting LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers. 

We’re planning a regular night at The K Hole, giving a platform to queer female and non-binary performers so come and support live comedy!

The Lineup: 

Jen Ives

Jen is known for her often sideways look at what it means to be a trans woman today, as well as other dumb things. She has reached the finals in the Funny Women Awards 2019, been nominated for the Leicester Mercury Awards 2019 and has recently written for BBC Radio 4 Extra, Dave, Pulped, as well as writing & performing in the multi-award nominated SeanceCast for HatTrick Productions. She has also written and starred in a sketch for Channel 4.
 

Kate Martin 

Kate Martin is an up and coming stand-up comedian who was made in the South but born in the North. Kate's experience in mental health gives fuel to her confident, high energy storytelling, which she combines with razor sharp observations of life's quirks through queer eyes.

Sikisa Bostwick-Barnes (Twix)

Sikisa has been named one to watch with her authentic, fearless and vivacious personality and on-stage presence since winning the public's vote in the 2017 BBC New Comedy Award competition, for which she was a finalist. She has quickly made a name for herself on the comedy circuit with her unique style and has become a regular performer and MC at some of the UK’s favourite comedy nights.  She is also a two-time Leicester Festival Aware nominee for Best Newcomer 2020 and Best appearance 2021 with her work in progress shows.
