Becky Umbers
If you think you've heard every kind of voice in comedy, wait until Becky Umbers hits the mic with a squeak that could rival a kids' cartoon – except this Kiwi firecracker drops observations with all the cheeky wit of someone who absolutely knows what they're doing. This multi-award-winning comedian from New Zealand has taken London by storm, becoming a beloved regular on the UK circuit and a favourite on the Comedy Boat at Rum Monkey since gracing our stages.
Becky's quirky storytelling and razor-sharp observations have earned her serious stripes: Best Debut at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival in 2019, a finalist spot for Hoots Fringe Act of the Year at Edinburgh 2023, and multiple nominations at the NZ Comedy Guild Awards. She's brought the house down on telly too, appearing on 7 Days, The Project, Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, and the 2025 NZ Best Foods Comedy Gala. Her debut hour Put That Cat Back in the Bag wowed Edinburgh Fringe audiences in 2025, and she's been named as a contender for the prestigious 2025 Chortle Hotshot.
Small in stature but enormous in laughs, Becky's unique persona and high-energy confidence make every set an absolute treat. Book your ticket and prepare for side-splitting stories delivered in the most delightfully unexpected voice.
