December Comediasians & Friends: A monthly Asian night of improv & standup

About This Event

We celebrate Asian comedy every month! Comediasians host a night of improv and stand-up, as well as an audience improv jam.

This month's Comediasians & Friends night features...

Improv by Comediasians!

We're the UK's premier pan-Asian improv group, and we're on a mission to bring laughs from the diasporASIA to the UK comedy scene! We do a playful mix of short and long form improv and host a monthly night of Asian comedy in London.

Improv Jam featuring you!

We're running an improv jam for part of the night where anyone in the audience can come up on stage with the Comediasians! We welcome anyone and everyone to the jam and especially encourage Asian-identifying people to give it a go.

Stand Up by Sanj Surati!

Known for his piercing green eyes, his uncanny wit and his booming charm, Sanj Surati is a stand-up comedian and method actor born and bred in London, England. He studied theatre under John Buckingham at Feltham Community School and pursued a career as a rock musician before making his way into the comedy and acting worlds.

Sanj did his first stand-up comedy performance at Standon Calling in July 2017 and has since done shows in Los Angeles, New York City and all over London. He has supported Richard Morton, Arthur Smith and is about to support Andrew O'Neill. He has delivered a 20-minute set in front of 400 people at Mozfest at the Royal Society of Arts. He has performed in the Edinburgh and Brighton Fringes and incorporates a music aspect to his shows where he beatboxes with the crowd.

Stand Up by Aisha Amanduri!

Aisha is a South London based comedian from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. A Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year semi-finalist (2023), Funny Women One-To-Watch (2023), Komedia New Act semi-finalist (2023), NATYS semi-finalist (2022) and 2Northdown New Act Finalist (2022). She is described in the Guardian as "clever, edgy and unexpected" and in Chortle "an appealing mix of upfront attitude with mischievous undercurrent"

When she isn't explaining to people that Kazakhstan is not China, she is running her own regularly sold-out pro-comedy night called Material Girls in the 60 seater Omnibus Theatre, having had well-known comedians such as Grace Campbell and Lorna Rose Treen. She produced and performed in two sold-out shows called Funny Tinge at 2Northdown and The Bill Murray.
