One of ‘the biggest stand up hits of the decade’
My name’s Luisa Omielan and I’m a stand up comedian and I like to PARRTYY!!
I’ve got two solo shows, my debut was called ‘What Would Beyonce Do?!’ and the follow up ‘ Am I Right Ladies?!’.
I crowdfunded a recording of my show! It’s available for download here.
My debut book ‘What Would Beyonce Do?!’ is out now published by Century at Random House. You can order it here.
I wrote a joke about the thigh gap, and now over 40 million people have seen me in my pants. Dreams really can come true. Watch it here.
I’m coming to New York City this September! Get your tickets now. In the meantime, see my recent stint on Live at the Apollo.

What’s it about? Well, you know when you find yourself approaching 30 and you have a temp career going nowhere, student debt that’s somehow not getting any smaller, an ex who’s ‘not ready’ and left you heartbroken, and to top it all off you have to move back home to your mum’s house?
Then here, at your lowest point, your best friend decides to pick that very moment to remind you that you are the same age as Beyoncé.

I'm a Bafta Breakthrough brit bringing a brand new stand up show 'God is a Woman' to the USA for my highly anticipated American debut.
Come watch me at the SOHO Playhouse in New York City! You can get your tickets here.
No one invited me, but I have the best fans, and they have crowdfunded this trip. You can see what they did here..
Supported by a bunch of friends, I'm leaving the UK whilst it's currently going a bit mad, and I've decided to flee to the very safe, very grounded, non political haven that is America.
'God Is A Woman' is my new show. My previous ones were about Beyonce, Thigh Gaps and Politics, so get you a girl who can do all 4!
My USP is making you laugh one second and cry the next, expect Mary Magdalene and dick jokes. I'm the most famous British female comedian you've never heard of, and if that's isn't enough, I'm bringing my 2 year old sidekick - Bernie, the Bernese Mountain Dog to the glorious American stage.
Come and be part of the journey.
Join me for a work in progress of my new idea 'God is a Woman and Jesus was a Feminist' Expect goddesses, divine feminine and a very hairy dog.
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!
