About Ria Lina – Riabellion
Following her killer debut tour, Riawakening (Top Ten Best Stand-up Shows of 2024 – Telegraph), the wickedly funny Ria Lina realised she wasn’t just awake, she was ready to rebel. Expect a relentless stream of hilarity as Ria explores the state of the world, the eternal battle of the sexes, and the delight of throwing life up in the air after years of following the rules.
Much loved in the industry, this multi-award winner commands the stage with a whirlwind of energy and leaves audiences breathless with laughter. Her extensive list of credits includes Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You?, Mock the Week, co-hosting Pointless, Lovestruck High, Richard Osman’s House of Games, The Last Leg, and Celebrity Mastermind.
“Fearless, provocative, and very funny” (The Scotsman), Ria Lina is a highly accomplished comedian, writer, and actor. After a critically acclaimed stand-out debut on Mock The Week (BBC), Ria has quickly become a household name. A hugely admired act on the UK comedy circuit, this multi-award-winning artist commands respect from the moment she walks onstage and delivers with natural ease, energy, and fierceness.
Ria is the most prominent Filipina comedian in British stand-up. She has a BSc in Experimental Pathology, an MSc in Forensic Science, and a PhD in Virology under her belt, so it’s not only Ria’s comedy that’s highly intelligent.
Presented by Little Wander.
