About Sam Campbell: Kid Giblet
With a signature style that marries absurdist loops and razor-sharp observational wit—from surreal YouTube shorts to mainstream TV and podcast success—Sam continues to evolve as one of the UK’s most distinctive and boundary-pushing comedic talents.
I definitely don’t know what’s going on. I’m not even sure I know what’s happening anymore. But I cannot wait to come to your town and respect your traditions. I have been on TV over 5 times. May I divulge a secret? I have purchased a large metal ring.
I will use it to keep all of the keys to the city that are given to me by the mayors I impress with my showmanship. Live comedy is straight up amazing because people gather to watch it in a spectacular setting rather than ogling an evil phone screen in some horrid, grey, dank little corner.
