‘One of the best comics in the world’ THE GUARDIAN

Gina Yashere has made a lot of changes in her life of late. She's travelled the world; to Nigeria to discover her ancestral roots, to Thailand to get her zen on, to Malaysia to...get robbed, to Indonesia to get tattooed, and many other places in between. But she's ended up in the one place she truly feels at home...Los Angeles.

But the might shores of Blighty keep calling her home, and this Autumn Gina will leave behind the Californian sunshine to head to a few select venues to entertain her fellow Brits. Audiences, look sharp! Gina will be filming these shows for her brand new comedy documentary.

Not content with being one of the most sought after comedians in the UK, Gina decided 3 years ago to up sticks and move to Hollywood to see if she could get a piece of the American dream. Since blasting onto the Stateside scene in Last Comic Standing (NBC), she has lost over 5 stone in weight (after all, she is in the Land of the Olsen twins and Victoria Beckham) and has performed stand up on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, HBO's Def Comedy Jam and Martin Lawrence's 1st Amendment, as well as being a regular on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, playing a crap psychic. She has also had her own 1 hour stand up special airing on Showtime.

Over this side of the pond you will have seen her on everything from The Lenny Henry Show to Mock the Week and Celebrity Fame Academy, as well as playing a principle role in ITV’s Married Single Other. She is currently developing a sitcom with the BBC, so watch this space!
