Sam Nicoresti
Sam Nicoresti is a multi-award-winning comedian from Birmingham known for her shows about body horror, cosmic dread, fever dreams, frogs, and skirt suits. She uses she/they pronouns, which means sometimes she ‘theys’ and sometimes they ‘she’. This is confusing for both the media and their parents, but that’s neither her nor their.
Sam broke into standup after winning Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year in 2021. Since then she has released her highly-acclaimed debut art-comedy special Wokeflake, and was nominated for Best Compere at the Chortle Awards 2024. Her second show Baby Doomer was nominated for Best Show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2025 before going on to win the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show at that year’s Edinburgh Fringe. Sam started making shows as part of the northern alternative scene alongside double-act partner Tom Burgess as Sam & Tom, and has been a prominent member of collectives The Glang Show and Weirdos, as well as being involved in the panel-prize winning Iraq: Out & Loud project. Behind the public persona lies a private citizen who likes cats, music, and having a quiet drink in the corner of the pub on a Wednesday night.
Samira Banks
Samira Banks is an exciting new comedic talent of middle eastern heritage. She has been making waves on the UK circuit since bursting on to the scene winning the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny? Competition in 2023 and has been a finalist in competitions such as the Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year and appeared on TV as part of the BBC New Comedy Awards. Shas acted as tour support for well known acts including Michael Odewale, Ali Woods and Eshaan Akbar. A personal highlight for her this year was opening for Stephen Merchant’s WIP. Samira has appeared at the BBC Comedy Festival, the Kilkenny Comedy Festival and Latitude Festival. Her razor sharp wit paired with her unique perspective are sure to make her a household name – and she continues to leave the audience in stitches with her dead pan delivery and devastating punchlines that seem to come from nowhere. Samira is fluent in German and Spanish and often does Spanish speaking gigs having opened for Netflix’s Sofia Niño de Rivera at the Clapham Grand. She carries her talents beyond the stage by writing for BBC Radio 4’s, The News Quiz. She has also written comedy sketches for commercial advertising campaigns.
