Gits & Shiggles Comedy - Andy Zaltzman, Ria Lina + Joseph Emslie MC

Gits and Shiggles is one of London's best comedy nights, organising events throughout the capital as well as their residency at The Half Moon, Putney.

Headlining the show with an extended set, we have the incredible Andy Zaltzman. Host of BBC
Radio 4’s The News Quiz and the hugely popular satirical podcast The Bugle, Andy is also the
reigning champion of Taskmaster Series 18 and the BBC’s resident cricket statistician on Test
Match Special. A veteran of the Edinburgh Fringe and one of the country’s most distinctive
political comedians, Andy has toured his brilliantly inventive satire around the world. Described
as “probably the best satirical comic we’ve produced in the last two decades” (Time Out), we’re
delighted to have him performing an extended headline set.

Joining him is the brilliant Ria Lina. You’ll know her from appearances on Live at the Apollo,
Have I Got News for You, QI, Mock the Week and The Last Leg, as well as her regular
appearances as co-host of Pointless. A comedian, writer and actor with a PhD in virology, Ria
combines razor-sharp comedy with a scientific mind and has been named one of the Evening
Standard’s “Hottest Comedians You Should Be Watching Now”. She is “fearless, provocative
and very funny” (The Scotsman).
