Sikisa Bostwick-Barnes has always been a hard worker. When she was studying for a law degree, she had four part-time jobs to pay her way through college including teaching dance and selling bras. One job happened to be behind a bar in a comedy club and when her boss overheard her funny conversations said she should try stand-up. It was the best career advice she has ever received.
Initially she used her nickname ‘Twix’ onstage but she was a BBC New Comedy Award finalist in 2017 and it sounded like she was advertising a chocolate bar, so she switched to using just Sikisa. One name didn’t do Adele any harm.
