Stand-up show 'Riabellion' by award-winning comedian Ria Lina at the Quad Theatre in Plymouth.
Ria Lina brings her stand-up show Riabellion to the Quad Theatre on Thursday 12 November, from 19:30 to 21:30. It's a single-name bill, so the whole night is her set.
If you haven't come across her yet, Lina is a multi-award-winning comedian, writer and actor, and the most prominent Filipina comedian in British stand-up. Her debut tour, Riawakening, made the Telegraph's Top Ten Best Stand-up Shows of 2024, so this is a name that's been picking up some real momentum over the last couple of years. The Scotsman described her as "fearless, provocative and very funny," which gives you a fair idea of the territory she works in.
Beyond the stage, she's a regular on the TV circuit. She first appeared on Mock The Week and has since been on Have I Got News For You?, co-hosted Pointless, and appeared on Lovestruck High, Richard Osman's House of Games, The Last Leg and Celebrity Mastermind. There's also a bit of a curveball to her background: she holds a BSc in Experimental Pathology, an MSc in Forensic Science and a PhD in Virology, so she's as comfortable with a lab coat as she is with a microphone.
