about Me
Let’s be honest — no one enjoys writing these. It’s the bit where a comedian pretends to speak in the third person, pretends they’re important and tries not to sound like they’re giving a TED Talk in a cardigan. But here we are, so let’s give it a go…
Louise Atkinson hails from Hull and sees the world through a gravy-stained lens of northern common sense. She’s a multi award-winning comedian with a knack for finding the funny in everything from friendships to biscuits.
Described as “a cross between Victoria Wood and Peter Kay” (Stuart Maconie), Louise is one of the UK’s fastest rising comedy voices. Her debut hour Mates won the Amused Moose Award at the Edinburgh Fringe and her second show landed her in The Guardian and The Times’ Top 10 Jokes lists, and she achieved all of this while wondering if she had food on her face.
Online, she’s racked up millions of views, but swears she’s ready to move to a lighthouse and befriend a puffin named Steve if it all goes south.
Louise is warm, witty, and one to watch. Grab a ticket, pick your favourite biscuit and come judge for yourself.
