Sian Davies

Sian Davies is a comedian, MC, presenter and writer from the North West of England. Her droll, widely relatable, observational material puts an insightful spin on the everyday. She regularly performs at theatres, festivals and comedy clubs across the UK and is the driving force behind sell out fringe phenomenon’s Best in Class and Comedy Queers. A real crowd pleaser; just as relaxed in an intimate comedy club, festival stage or huge theatre. She effortlessly combines razor sharp wit with true life stories to enthral audiences. Sian won the Edinburgh Comedy Award Panel Prize for Best in Class in 2022, the award for Best Debut Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival in 2020, was runner up in the Funny Women Stage Award in 2019 and winner of Hilarity Bites Best New Act in 2018. Sian’s 2023 show, This Charming Man was produced by Impatient, directed by Elf Lyons and supported by Homotopia. The show received 4 star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and was nominated for The Biggest Award in Comedy. Her first solo show, About Time debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022 before being recorded as a stand up special for Next Up streaming service. Sian has appeared on Comedy Central Live and has been a guest on several podcasts including Menkind with Mark Watson and Thats Me on Screen with Evelyn Mok. She has written articles for The Guardian, The Museum of Liverpool and British Comedy Guide. Sian has led Comedy workshops at Angel Comedy and Soho Theatre. She is working class and queer, and fiercely proud of belonging to both communities. “A very funny observational stand-up … imagine a queer Peter Kay with more emotional literacy and a quiff like young Morrissey.” The Evening Standard “Compelling and distinctive” The Scotsman “Excellent story-telling, audience engagement and sense of narrative…delivered with rabble-rousing intensity” One4Review “lovely word play, hedonistic flashes, and a serious political edge.” The skinny “Simultaneously warm and sharp, she’s what Jason Manford would be if he was a Liverpudlian lesbian, with a broad appeal and snappy jokes.” Chortle “A cross between Peter Kay and Zoe Lyons.” Beyond The Joke
