A decade ago Luisa Omielan looked like comedy’s next big thing. Her Edinburgh Fringe debut, What Would Beyoncé Do?! was a massive hit. Yet somehow, while she continued to deliver terrific live works and in 2018 was the first comedian to be a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit, she has never had the mainstream acclaim she deserved.
Now, while it feels like the entire comedy world is Edinburgh-bound, Omielan is in Soho performing a retrospective compilation of her best bits, with the Adele-sounding title of Ten. Which is apt as this high energy, entertaining, thought-provoking show also features some of Adele’s music among a peppering of empowering pop bangers.
