Alex Zane presents Comedy at The Union Soho

• Alex Zane (C4's Rude Tube and Balls of Steel, Sky Cinema, and recipient of a Christmas cake from Tom Cruise) introduces:

• Jonny Pelham began performing at Newcastle Uni, rising quickly through student competitions before developing acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe shows, winning the Beyond the Fringe Herald Angel Award for 'Off Limits' ★★★★★ and double Chortle nominations for Best Show and Breakthrough Act.  Jonny has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, Russell Howard’s Stand-Up Central, and Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled.  "The laughs are explosive" (Chortle). "Engagingly wry temperament and clear anecdotal gift" (The Scotsman) 

• Sam Nicoresti won the Edinburgh Comedy Award (previously The Perrier) prize in August with her show Baby Doomer, a while after being Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year.  Sam evolved in previous shows including Wokeflake into a more mainstream, joyful, joke‑dense, self-depracating stand‑up, bringing big accessible laughs to exploring life as a trans woman. “Fizzing with ideas and great jokes… a unique angle on every topic; simultaneously smart and silly” ★★★★⯪ (Chortle). “Ebullient with a sky‑high joke count” (Guardian)

• Shazia Mirza, on Celebrity Apprentice, whose "laconic one-liners represent something quite unique in modern comedy ... she actually manages to make being a Muslim woman seem wonderfully life-enhancingly funny" (Guardian), has been on sold-out ★★★★ tours and international shows. One of The Observer's 50 funniest British comedians, she won Hackney Empire Best New Act, and has appeared on QI, HIGNFY, Would I Lie to You?,  SAS: Who Dares Wins, and memorably in Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls.

• Joe Bor: Award-winner with years of brilliantly honed observational humour on the circuit, not only did he win 'Old Comedian of the Year' and gain numerous 4 and 5 stars at the Edinburgh Fringe, but also Best Comedy Film at Paris Film Awards and Best Short Film at Hollywood Gold Awards and New York Movie Awards. "Riotously funny"  ★★★★ (Fringebiscuit).  "With his natural comic ability, Bor makes for a solidly entertaining act" (Chortle)
