Malthouse Comedy – 24 July 2026
WITH STEPHEN K AMOS, DAVID TSONOS, BLANK PENG & HOSTED BY CHRIS BROOKER!
Headlined by award-winning comedian Stephen K Amos! Stephen has charmed and entertained audiences all over the world with his natural, assured delivery and his honest, original material.
A gifted actor, Amos has impressed critics with his performances on stage and screen and has proved he is one of the most unique comedy voices of his generation but demonstrated a penchant for drama roles. Stephen can currently be seen in cinemas in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Comfortable as a performer, presenter, actor and guest there is no doubt that Amos will retain his position as one of the nation’s favourite comedians for a long time to come.
Stephen is currently on the Australian leg of his new tour Oxymoron. Stephen regularly features on TV and Radio, including QI, Pointless Celebrities, Mock The Week, Celebrity Great British Bake Off, Eastenders and recently took part in a new BBC Two series Pilgrimage The Road To Rome.
Aside from being one of the nation’s favourite faces on the television, Stephen is a prolific writer and performer, releasing a new hour long show every year and performing all over the world at festivals. He has performed in some of the UK’s most loved theatres and also appeared at the Royal Variety Show in 2007.
Opening the show is Canadian comic David Tsonos! If you want serious comedy, David is not your man. With his friendly and confident persona, he intrigues everyone with his combination of banter and impulsive comments. His comedy stems from being the youngest of five boys, babysitting… his nephews and his cat.
David started off in Canada and since making the UK his home, he has performed in over 15 countries. He has appeared at numerous fringe festivals in the UK including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bath and Hastings and has performed overseas gigs in Bucharest, Dublin, Budapest, Malta, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Prague, Berlin, Guernsey, Oslo, Luxembourg and Brussels.
With one of the country’s most in-demand female comics right now, Blank Peng! Blank is making her mark as one of the UK’s most distinctive and compelling new comedy talents. She began her comedy journey performing stand-up in Mandarin before moving to London in 2022, committing herself to learning and mastering comedy in English. Since then, she has rapidly carved out a formidable reputation on the UK circuit, becoming a sought-after weekend act at the country’s leading comedy clubs.
Her sharp observations on culture, identity, and everyday life have quickly garnered her industry recognition. She was invited to perform on the Capital Xtra Comedy Gala and has tour-supported some of the country’s top comedians, including Babatunde Aléshé (Taskmaster), Nabil Abdulrashid (Britain’s Got Talent) , and Henning Wehn (Would I Lie to You). In 2025, she reached the London Finals of the BBC New Comedy Award and made her UK television debut on BBC Three. She has also lent her talents doing TV warm-up for The Last Leg on Channel 4.
Magnetic, sharp, and delightfully unexpected, Blank is effortlessly captivating audiences with every performance.
And hosted by the brilliant Chris Brooker! After a decade on the UK comedy circuit Chris has forged a fine reputation for himself as a stand-up comedian and compère. His versatility has seen him play to audiences of all sizes and backgrounds, winning them over with his infectious enthusiasm, swift wit and immense likeability. Dubbed comedy’s ginger Viking by a promoter, he really is a larger than life character.
