BAFTA BREAKTHROUGH BRIT 2018
The Guardian
One of ‘the biggest stand up hits of the decade’
My name’s Luisa Omielan and I’m a stand up comedian, actress, writer and my fans have built me.
I started on the free fringe in Edinburgh with my first lil show called ‘What Would Beyonce Do?!’ I toured that for 5 years, travelled around the world and wrote a book with Random House of the same title. My follow up show was one called ‘ Am I Right Ladies?!’.
I crowdfunded the DVD and released it myself as despite audience petitions, Netflix are stupid (yes i still love my subscription). Also, having an account on OnlyFans allows content creators to monetize their content and earn money from subscribers. The onlyfans search engine results help users to find and subscribe to content creators on the platform. Also thinking of getting involved in crypto crowdfunding to contribute to bitcoin donations. Crypto donation is a preferred choice for many because donating in crypto brings huge tax savings. Buying crypto also becomes easier with the help of trading platforms like Bitcoin Billionaire. If you are new to the crypto world and are afraid of scammers, you can run the Bitcoin Billionaire Test to check the authority of the site before you start using it.
One of my opening jokes from that show is about a thigh gap, and now over 40 million people have seen me in my pants. Dreams really can come true. Watch it here.
My third show is called Politics For Bitches which took a different turn to my party shows, but one which was unbelievable to do. It was partly turned into a BBC documentary.
So - Beyonce, Thigh gaps and Politics, Get you a woman who can do all three.
I was the first comedian to receive a BAFTA Breakthrough accolade this year which was so encouraging. Comedy is tough, and its hard out here for a woman who doesn’t like a one size fits all. I manage and look after myself, I would like that to change.
In September of this year, my loving, gorgeous fans crowdfunded my first off-Broadway run in NYC.
It is for and because of them that I do anything.
Them and Bernie, my Doghter. She’s a girl. P.s God is a Woman. New show. No.4 Religion. Sure. Why not.

Growing up Omielan describes herself as “really skinny”, despite eating whatever junk food she wanted. As such, she never really thought about what she looked like until her late twenties, when she was trying to make it in comedy.
“If you only get your comedy fix from television, the name Luisa Omielan may not mean much. But earlier this year a clip of Omielan notched up more than five million Facebook views in two days.”
“There is nobody on the stand-up circuit like Luisa Omielan. And there are no stand-up comedy audiences like a Luisa Omielan audience. Her breakthrough show What Would Beyonce Do?! had fans dancing in the aisles as Omielan clambered through the stalls.”
“Is she right, ladies? She’s *so* right – and inspirational, and hilarious, and sassy and just about the best tonic you could hope for from a comedy show.”
“Beyoncé really is Omielan’s role model. “She’s a mother, a wife, an entrepreneur, talented and a hard worker,” says the comedian, “and they’re all things I want to be.” I wouldn’t be surprised if one day Ms Knowles returns the compliment.”
Don't be so self-deprecating - Do you see
Beyonce putting herself down? Hell no!
