One of Selam’s projects — Azmari Bet — platforms her native Ethiopian culture by promoting Ethiopian music styles, artists, food, and performance.
Shakala Kurup
Shalaka Kurup is an award-winning Indian comedian. Her observational humour has been described as being “deadpan joy” (The Morning Star) and acerbic.
She recently opened for Eshaan Akbar and Ria Lina, and has been featured on Channel 4 Digital and BBC One.
Graciela
Gracie M. is Venezuelan-born, London-based comedian jokes about adapting to British culture the quirks of London life, debunking assumptions about Latin Americans and, of course, recounting the wild adventures of her dating life.
Stella Graham
Stella Graham is a naturally funny stand-up comedian, writer & actor. Shameless, charmingly aggressive and unladylike, she’s the funniest half Sri Lankan gal from Coventry.
During Lockdown, Stella made funny workout videos, a video podcast and did online gigs! What a trip. Gigging in slippers.
