Indian comedian Urooj Ashfaq is going on tour with her brand-new stand-up show, How to Be a Baddie. The tour follows her return to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this August, where she debuts the show at Monkey Barrel 4 as part of Soho Theatre’s 2025 Fringe programme. This marks her first full Fringe run since winning Best Newcomer at the 2023 Edinburgh Comedy Awards.
The first programming has been announced for Soho Theatre Walthamstow, a major new 960-seat venue opening in May 2025 that will house the very best UK and international comedy, theatre, cabaret and panto. The new venue includes a refurbished Grade II* listed auditorium, brand-new studio spaces, backstage facilities, four bars (Main Foyer, Ziggurat, Cross Hall and Circle), and a restaurant.
I think it's fair to say that Ikechukwu Ufomadu's Amusements is not your typical comedy show. But then Ikechukwu Ufomadu is not your typical comedian. He comes on dressed in an elegant, immaculate tuxedo backed by a jazzy lounge soundtrack. Think Rat Pack crooner rather than Comedy Store. But over the next hour he proceeds to blow away the room – and the cobwebs in my head after a hard day - with an utterly unique, and very funny show that is part performance part, part absurdist theatre, totally hilarious.
Soho Theatre has issued a further statement regarding the incident that happened during comedian Paul Currie's show at the venue on Saturday night.

"Soho Theatre will not tolerate intimidation of audience members due to their nationality, race, religion or beliefs.
