About Loaded Laughs

Friday 14 November

  • Tadiwa Mahlunge
  • Jamie Stevens
  • Fannie Allan
  • Bethany Black

About the comedians

Tadiwa Mahlunge
Billed as “one of the country’s top new comedy acts” by The York Press, Tadiwa Mahlunge has performed at the Latitude, Greenman, and Greenwich Comedy Festivals. He’s provided tour support for Dylan Moran, Ed Byrne, and Mark Watson, and TV warm-up for Desiree Burch’s Amazon Prime special. As seen on BBC 1, BBC 2, Dave, and Comedy Central, Tadiwa has established himself as one of comedy’s hottest prospects.

Bethany Black
Decidedly dark and deliciously different, an evening with Bethany Black is a one-way ticket to a world you never knew existed. Managing to balance being “dark-tinged but magical” (The Guardian) with being warm and chatty, she’s built a cult following for her brand of confessional comedy. She’s worked alongside some of the greats of the industry and is a regular at top clubs across the country.

Visit Loading Bay
