Goofy and peculiar, Stephanie Laing’s comedy is partway between the needy oddness of Maria Bamford and the upbeat affability of Josie Long. Her material is a mix of silliness, filth and unusual observations, underpinned by a disarming honesty which makes her seem charmingly vulnerable.

Stephanie started performing in April 2007 on the Scottish comedy circuit. She had shows at the Edinburgh Festival in 2010 and 2012, and has performed at The Stand (Edinburgh and Glasgow), The Comedy Store, The Comedy Cafe, Crack Comedy, Downstairs at The King’s Head etc. She is now based in London.

Industry Quotes:

‘Quirky and wacky with loads of charm. One to watch.’ Noel Faulkner, Comedy Cafe
‘Fresh attitude, surprisingly different, nothing stereotypical. Great timing, intelligent material, rude but not gratuitous. A young lady with an act of superbly timed naughtiness that makes you gasp and laugh all at once. A must see!’ Nick Steel, Bath Comedy Festival
‘A delightful presence at any gig, engaging audiences with her charm, originality and confidence. She is professional in her attitude on and off stage and she makes me laugh.’ Bobby Carroll, Comedy Knights
‘Don’t let her cool calm appearance fool you, this lady is hilarious and filth, both in perfectly equal measure.’ James Beatty, Laugh Out Loud Comedy

Press Quotes:

‘Truly commanded the crowd. Disgusting and delightful in equal measure. She is definitely one to watch.’ Three Weeks
‘A great stand-up. Super smart in the fun way that always works magic.’ Phil Kay
‘In amongst a strong line-up – she stole the show for me. Her delivery is so good and material well written that she was the freshest and funniest act of the night.’ Keir McAllister
‘Stephanie Laing offered up a gloriously silly set, coming across as wonderfully unpretentious and getting the audience on her side from the first line. Her off-the-wall observations about her own anxieties were delivered with awkward tenacity and came off as entirely believable mementoes of her everyday life.’ Broadway Baby
