Comedy Show Tickets London 2026

Um, Actually is a trivia game show hosted by Ify Nwadiwe and fact-checked by Brian David Gilbert, wherein special guest contestants are read false statements about their favorite pieces of nerdy pop culture, and they have to figure out what’s wrong (but they only get the point if they precede their correction with the phrase “um, actually…”). 

In this game show of fandom minutiae one-upmanship, nerds do what nerds do best: flaunt encyclopedic nerd knowledge at Millennium Falcon nerd-speed.

For the first ever Um, Actually live show outside of the US, Ify & Brian will be joined by special guests Aurie Styla, Ellie Gibson, and Jordan Gray.

Ify Nwadiwe is a stand-up, actor (Workaholics, Comedy Bang! Bang!, Adam Ruins Everything), does improv (The Big Team at UCB), plays tabletop RPGs on the internet (Dimension 20, Critical Role), writes for TV (Twisted Metal, Grand Crew, Tigtone), and writes for video games (Apex Legends and Borderlands 4). 

Brian David Gilbert is a comedian, writer, YouTuber, and the fact checker for Um, Actually. You can generally find him popping up on things around the internet that make people say “Wait, what is Brian doing here?”
