Bilal Rashid

Picture a comedian who walks on stage with the confidence of someone who's just won multiple Beat the Gong competitions and the mischievous glint of someone who titled their Edinburgh debut "The Pros and Cons of Joining ISIS." That's Bilal Rashid, the Greenwich-based comic who's been tearing up the UK circuit since 2022 with his unapologetically dark material and razor-sharp one-liners. A Beat the Frog World Series finalist and sold-out Edinburgh Fringe performer, Bilal blends savage punchlines with deceptively charming delivery, tackling everything from religion and immigration to the weirdest corners of British culture with fearless satire. Chortle praised him as "a strong and efficient joke writer" with a gag rate that hits like a freight train, while fellow comics know him as the real deal—subversive, hilarious, and consistently brilliant. By day, he's an investment broker specialising in tax-efficient solutions; by night, he's the host of Big Bill's Comedy Night and a favourite on the Comedy Boat since 2024, where his killer crowd work and blunt wit have made him unmissable. With 300+ gigs under his belt and comparisons to Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle, and Paul Chowdhry, Bilal's comedy is dark, irreverent, and brilliantly silly—definitely not for the easily offended.
