Roundhouse Comedy Festival and Berk's Nest present

Edinburgh Comedy Award winner, Taskmaster champion & surrealist genius Sam Campbell headlines this blazing line-up. Most recently seen in season 2 of Last One Laughing, Sam is a fixture on TV, frequently appearing on Would I Lie to You?, QI, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and many more.
Joining him is award-winning comedian Fern Brady, known for her caustic wit and hit Netflix special, Autistic Bikini Queen. Her debut memoir Strong Female Character became a Sunday Times Bestseller and won the Nero Book Award for non-fiction. She was a fan-favourite on season 14 of Taskmaster and won the Sky Arts Award for Comedy in 2024.
Also on the bill is the star of Saturday Night Live UK Ayoade Bamgboye, whose 2025 show won her Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards and was one of the Guardian’s Top 10 Comedy Shows of the year, and acclaimed stand-up Desiree Burch. A NY-to-London transplant, Desiree has quickly and firmly established herself as one of the breakout comic stars in the UK. She recently hosted Live At The Apollo, and has appeared on Have I Got News For You, Qi, and Frankie Boyle’s New World Order.
The line-up will be hosted by Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, Melbourne International Comedy Festival winner, and social media star Sarah Keyworth, as seen on Live At The Apollo, Mock the Week and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
