Ania Magliano - Peach Fuzz

Ania Magliano brings her new show Peach Fuzz to Portsmouth Guildhall on Monday 16 November, an hour of stand-up in her signature laidback, storytelling style. It's built from another year's worth of stories, confessions and gossip since her last tour, and it draws on the quirks of her own body, the legend of Eve and her newly discovered boundaries. Critics have called it 'body and soul comedy'.

Magliano is a stand-up comedian fresh from Saturday Night Live UK and starring in the latest series of Taskmaster. She was a Funny Women Awards 2020 finalist and a 2Northdown New Act Competition 2019 finalist, and has opened for Ed Gamble, Marc Maron and Catherine Cohen. Her writing has appeared on Frankie Boyle's New World Order on BBC2 and Amelia Dimoldenberg's Chicken Shop Date, and she was nominated for Best Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. If you've followed her work, you'll know her style is more about the slow build of a story than the quick-fire punchline, and Peach Fuzz continues that, pulling from the year since her last tour.

There's a bit of a running joke around her, too: her choices on the Off Menu podcast are widely regarded as the worst of all time. If you've heard that, you'll know the kind of thing she's talking about when she mentions her own boundaries.

The show starts at 8pm at Portsmouth Guildhall on Monday 16 November, with tickets at £23.60.
