Critically acclaimed stand-up Bethany Black is a stalwart of the scene and can be seen performing up and down the country, as "one of the UK circuit's finest night-time raconteurs" (British Comedy Guide). Also an applauded writer and actor, you may recognise Bethany from her roles in Cucumber, Banana, Tofu (C4), No Offence (C4) and Doctor Who (BBC). Most recently, Beth won the Award for Best New Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival 2023. She is also the Winner of the Joe.co.uk comedy award 2020. 

Bethany's most recent Edinburgh Festival Fringe show, Unwinnable gained praise across the board: "A great comedy mind" (British Comedy Guide Recommended). "I went for an hour laughing at every other word" ***** The LGBT Arts Review. "You’re onto a winner with Bethany." **** Funny Women. **** Fest Mag.

“An experienced standup, she was engaging, easily confident; her accent, fast and fluent style and timing triggering associations ranging from Victoria Wood to Ken Dodd and Les Dawson, her tendency to digress reminiscent of Ronnie Corbett. Her set was traditional in other respects: predicaments, tricky situations, the comedy of embarrassment, rude bits, very British fare.” - The Guardian

“Bethany Black made us laugh out loud, caused our jaws to drop into our laps that afternoon, largely because of the combination of her gifts as a comedian and her personal traits, which enabled her to “see the world in ways which none of you will ever see.”The Guardian
