Esther Manito
 

Esther Manito is a Lebanese British Comedian who heard her calling to comedy and answered it… completely by accident. Some heroes just have greatness thrust upon them, and Esther is prime example of this!

While on maternity leave with her second child, Esther took up classes at the Camden Comedy School and despite those first time jitters, she found her true calling. While she hadn’t set out to be a comic, she fell into the role fantastically and has achieved a name for herself here at home in the UK and abroad.

This superhero of comedy won the BBC New Comedy Award 2016-2018, was nominated for Arab Woman of the Year and Asian Woman of the Year, has competed in multiple competitions with good standing and had the honour of being the first female comedian to perform at the Dubai Opera House! Esther has been in the comedy game for over two and a half years now and she has well and truly raised the bar for comedians everywhere.

Fatiha El-Ghorri
 

Fatiha El-Ghorri is a London based comedian, who travels the country to bring her witty, sharp brand of humour to comedy lovers everywhere. This British Muslimah is known for having a mind full of cutting observations and an engaging witticism that leaves audiences hollering with laughter!

Fatiha uses her comedy to dismantle Muslim stereotypes and challenge people’s views on Islam, Muslims, and Muslim women. Her relatable stand-up never fails to get people laughing and thinking. She tackles some very controversial subjects like Islamophobia and dating by sharing her own experiences, which are funny, thought provoking and honest.

Comedic Wonder Woman Fatiha El-Gorri’s online presence is one to make you chuckle and she has been a finalist in multiple comedy competitions, such as Funny Women in London and the Max Turner Prize. She’s made a name for herself on the stand-up circuit and audiences can’t help but break out in applause when she graces the stage!
