Description

In this brand new episode of The Angel Comedy Podcast, you'll hear a conversation between Barry Ferns and UK renowned comedian, performer (and immigration lawyer) Sikisa!

During this episode, Sikisa talks about growing up as a black woman, how that shaped her material in the future, as well as not always catering your set to the audience you perform to. All things comedy started at The Cavendish Arms, for Sikisa, so she gives a good amount of details into the inner workings of working and performing there, as well as her route to comedy through Burlesque!
