Since bursting onto the UK comedy scene in 2009, Rik Carranza has built up a reputation as a solid act.

As the only Scottish/Filipino comic on the UK circuit, Rik’s dual heritage gives him a wealth of funny stories from an intriguing perspective and experience. Engaging, likeable, sharp, and unique, Rik is rising the ranks fast.

Rik has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, making his solo debut in 2014, with Charming' - a top ten recommended show that attracted numerous positive reviews.

He is also the creator and host of Star Trek vs Star Wars, the comedy debate panel show that debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016, selling out most nights and, again, garnering great reviews. It has gone on to be performed at comic conventions and venues around the country.

Rik has reached the semi-finals of the prestigious Scottish Comedian of the Year competition, the semi-finals of the Amused Moose in 2016, won numerous gong shows and has gigged across the UK (and beyond).
