Our next episode of Blizzard Comedy’s Broadcast Avalanche will be broadcast live on our Twitch channel on Monday 26th September, featuring:
Ishi Khan
Multi-award nominee, Ishi Khan has been making people laugh since her birth. She came out crying, to everyone else’s laughter. Her comedy cv began in 2008 when she started hosting her own 2 Funny Comedy events. She has been performing regularly on the comedy circuit ever since.
Ishi responds to current affairs through themes of unity, freedom & equality while exploring identity and belonging.
Ishi is a sentient being born to tickle, play and sing to the moon. Skipping along on the comedic yellow brick road, dancing through rain, sun and fairy dust, distracted by rainbows and shooting stars, she’s a unicorn rider. One day she hopes to do a cartwheel and ride a bike, not at the same time. She speaks English, Punjabi and fluent Cat.

“Side-splitting! rib-tickling!” Loughborough Echo
and Saeth Wheeler
Saeth made their debut at Bradford Fringe in 2021, and is still pretty new at this comedy thing. They plan to continue sharing their queer, slightly surreal thoughts until a) they get a standing ovation or b) being run out of town.
“So gay it nearly caused a moral panic, but the jokes were good” – their mate
“Are you still trying that comedy thing, love?” – their mum
with team captain Thom Bee
Performing comedy for six years, Thom has spent the majority of his time working in the double act (No) Money in the Bank with fellow weirdo and 90s enthusiast, Andrew Marsh. Together they’ve produced three shows, two regular nights, a podcast, and a plethora of material that has seeped into both performer’s solo work. Thom’s solo comedy is a combination of this irreverence, but with the addition of stories about his own struggles with mental health, alcholism, and his many other failings.
and
Kath Marvelley
Come say G’day to this funny, warm and theatrical Aussie storyteller as they talk about the differences between the UK and Australia, family stories and Aussie Wildlife. If you were to cross Sarah Pascoe with Steve Irwin crocodile hunter this might be what happens.
