About the show
Comedy fans rejoice – Live at the Empire returns this November, headlined by Nina Conti!
One of the UK’s most distinct and recognisable comedians, Nina Conti (and Monkey) has sold out shows across the West End, Broadway, and Sydney Opera House – all without moving her lips!
She’s also a firm favourite on TV with shows such as Live at the Apollo and Taskmaster (this Autumn!), and her live show specials and In Therapy web series have amassed millions of views online.
Nina will be joined by Bridget Christie (Channel 4’s Taskmaster, BAFTA nominee for Channel 4’s The Change); Jake Lambert (BBC's Live at the Apollo; over 500 million views online); Julia Masli (renowned clown and Edinburgh Best Comedy Show/Sky Arts Best Comedy Award nominee); and John Tothill (Channel 4’s Cats Does Countdown and BBC’s Have I Got News For You).
You won’t want to miss this one!
Featuring - Nina Conti
Ground-breaking ventriloquist Nina is a star of BBC's Live at the Apollo, QI and HBO's Family Tree.
Nina began her career as an actress at the Royal Shakespeare Company, before the genius and anarchic theatre director Ken Campbell inspired her to become a ventriloquist. In 2008 she won the prestigious Barry Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for her solo show Complete and Utter Conti. In 2010, Talk to the Hand had sell out seasons in Edinburgh, London, Melbourne, the Sydney Opera House and New York.
