Martha Burns

Picture this: a comedian who can dissect your dating disasters in three languages while making you feel utterly seen and slightly called out – that's Martha Burns in a nutshell. Originally from Italy (3/4 Italian, 1/4 American, to be precise), she's brought her delightfully shameless storytelling to London's comedy circuit with the kind of infectious energy that turns awkward truths about relationships, mental health, and modern life into absolute comedy gold.

Martha's confessional, observational style has quickly made waves across the city. She was a finalist in the West End New Act of the Year 2024 and semi-finalist for Leicester Square Not So New Comedian of the Year 2024, proving that her witty, empowering material resonates far and wide. When she's not serving as resident MC at South Kensington Comedy Club or headlining at JK Comedy Club Soho, she's curating brilliant nights like PU55Y JOKES (an all-female lineup) and her hilarious dating experiment, Never Date a Comedian.

A favourite on the Comedy Boat since 2024, Martha brings that rare combination of naked enthusiasm and razor-sharp insight to every performance. She's living the dream one joke at a time, and honestly? We're all better for it.
