Chortle Best Newcomer Nominee 2025.

Pleasance Reserve Member and Funny Women Stage Award Finalist Sharon Wanjohi is a queer British Kenyan comedian, who’s been making waves on the circuit with her take on the lack of Gen-z homeowners and maybe too much material on the cartoons that inspired a generation of sexual awakenings. Sharon is an alumna of the 2024 Pleasance Reserve and is making her debut at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe with ‘In The House’. As a prolific writer, Sharon has written for acclaimed television series including Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Late Night Lycett, and the Jonathan Ross Show. As seen on Comedy Central Live, Wanjohi has also provided tour support for Jessica Fostekew and Sarah Keyworth.

Stuns in New Photo is the first work-in-progress show from award-entering comedian Dominic McGovern (Chicken Shop Date co-writer, BBC New Comedy Awards, Melbourne International Comedy Festival) Join Dom as he refuses to
engage with any form of self-acceptance and instead yaps at you for 45 minutes about rock climbing, Miss Piggy, and the TV show Glee.
