Gina Yashere “Still Funkin Funny” at Underbelly Festival Southbank
With her previous London performances all total sell-out shows, international stand-up sensation Gina Yashere returns to the Underbelly Southbank Festival from 21st-23rd June with some hysterical tales from the past year.
Taking a break from travelling the globe and making a splash in the USA, international stand-up sensation Gina Yashere returns to her hometown for three nights only with some hysterical tales from the past year.
Gina has just secured a book deal with Harper Collins for her autobiography and has co-written, co-produced and acted in TV pilot Bob Abishola with ‘King of Sitcom’ Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory), due to air on CBS later this year.
In addition to her ongoing TV appearance as British correspondent in the US for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and regular appearances on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, The Jay Leno Show, The Wine Show, Mock the Week and Celebrity Chase, Gina’s last two one-off specials were snapped up by Netflix, where you can also see her as part of the new series of The Standups. In December 2018 she hosted BBC’s Live at The Apollo for a second time, and she can be heard in the latest Aardman movie, Early Man, alongside Eddie Redmayne, Maisie Williams and Tom Hiddleston.
All of her London performances, from the Underbelly to the Brixton Academy, are sell-out shows – so book early!
