Maisie Adam is fast on her way from being one of the brightest rising stars of the UK comedy scene to becoming a household name.
Since winning the nationwide So You Think You’re Funny? competition in 2017, she has won Best New Act at the Chortle Awards and the Amused Moose National New Act gong, as well as being nominated Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe.l for her debut show ‘Vague’.
She followed this up with two more shows; a sold out Edinburgh run of the critically acclaimed ‘Hang Fire’, before embarking on a sold out 63-date tour of her most recent show ‘Buzzed’ which went on to finish with a sold out run at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Maisie's anecdotal material and witty charm have quickly won her praise across the country, and she has since appeared on Live At The Apollo, A League Of Their Own, Mock the Week, Have I Got News for You, QI, Roast Battle, 8 Out of 10 Cats and the Royal Variety Performance.
She is also the host of the hugely successful Big Kick Energy podcast which she co-hosts with friend and fellow comedian Suzi Ruffell, and won Sports Podcast of the Year in the Sports Broadcast Awards just 5 months after the first episode aired.
"Adam exudes an appealing, quirky energy, and is clearly a natural wit" Steve Bennett, Chortle
"There’s something incredibly watchable about Adam – whether it’s her effervescence onstage, finding jokes in the minutiae of life or her fantastic physicality. Inevitably she’ll be compared to a young, female Peter Kay, except her jokes and performance are far more eccentric." THE SKINNY
"This is a name to watch!"
