SLT welcomes the Good Ship Comedy
Founded in Kilburn, migrated to Camden Town and now south of the river in West Norwood, Good Ship Comedy is your friendly neighbourhood comedy club.
For the past fifteen years GSC has featured some of the finest comics from the UK and international festival circuit including Josh Widdicombe, Sara Pascoe, Sindhu Vee, Nish Kumar, Rich Hall, Katherine Ryan and many, many more, all presented by resident compere, Ben Van der Velde.
“The perfect comedy club host – he is a master of audience interaction. The audience weren’t just warmed up, but pretty hysterical even before the first act of the night hit the stage.” Huffington Post.
Featuring: Ria Lina
Fearless, provocative and very funny, Ria Lina is a highly accomplished comedian, writer, actor and one of the hardest working performers in the business. A hugely admired act on the UK comedy circuit, she commands respect from the moment she walks onstage and delivers with natural ease, energy and fierceness. Ria is the only female Filipina comedian in British stand up and headlines at major clubs in the UK and internationally.
Ria has a BSc in Experimental Pathology, an MSc in Forensic Science and a PhD in Virology (which is just showing off, frankly) so it’s not only her comedy that is highly intelligent and no subject is too taboo. Her audacious routines always pack a punch and are brimming with charm and biting wit.
Since breaking into the big time a few years ago she has hosted Live at the Apollo, as well as appearing on QI, The Last Leg and Have I Got News for You and is about to embark on her biggest national tour yet.
