ABOUT

Kwame uses his undeniable charisma and on stage presence to play against
audience’s expectations, which makes his comedy fresh, intelligent and most
importantly funny.

Kwame’s material touches on a wide variety of topics, drawing humour from his
Ghanaian background, family, relationships and his career as an A&E doctor, as
well as current affairs, with witty and clever observations.

Kwame started gigging in 2010 and won the Chortle Student Comedian Of The Year
award in 2012. His debut solo hour show ‘Open Arms’ went on to be nominated for
‘Best Newcomer’ at the 2017 Edinburgh Comedy Awards. More recently, he took his
latest solo hour ‘Living in Sin’ to the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it
received much critical acclaim. Kwame has performed all over the UK comedy
circuit and has even ventured internationally, with shows in Sweden, the
Netherlands and Australia. He has also made a number of TV and radio
appearances, including recording his own BBC Radio 4 pilot in September 2019.

Born and raised in South East London, Kwame now lives and works in Birmingham.
He is a member of both the Royal College of Physicians and Royal College of
Emergency Medicine. Kwame has also recently completed a Master’s degree in
Performing Arts Medicine at University College London; his interests include
performance psychology, and the influence of the audience on performance anxiety
in the performing arts.

LIVING IN SIN! – Edinburgh Fringe 2022

I performed my latest solo show 'LIVING IN SIN!' on a full run at the 2022
Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show is a hilarious, witty and heartfelt
introspective into the role of religion in modern life, modern love and modern
medicine. It was named a 'must-see show' ahead of the festival by Rolling Stone
UK and went on to receive much critical acclaim!

I am bringing the show to London for two performances at the Pleasance Theatre
in Islington, on the 26th October and 2nd November. Tickets will be available
here!

And many thanks to Impatient Productions and Blue Book Artist Management for all
of their support during the festival!
