Ayoade Bamgboye is a stand-up comedian presenting Small Talk, a work-in-progress show with a Q&A, produced by Berk's Nest in association with PARKAS at Independent Talent. Small talk, she argues, is easily the most woefully misunderstood phenomenon — as the glue that keeps us together, it deserves more than it gets. A star of SNL UK, she won Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards and also won NextUp's Biggest Award in Comedy. This 60-minute show contains strong language and is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A fresh, original voice taking on the most ignored part of social life. Ayoade Bamgboye's command of the room is reportedly quite something — catch her in work-in-progress mode before the finished show arrives.
