Sam Picone

Picture a comic who can make millions laugh online but still turns up to packed basement rooms with the same dry precision that made Mo Gilligan call him "a natural on stage." That's Sam Picone—a London-based comedian whose carefully measured delivery and astute observations have been turning heads across the circuit for over five years.

With writing credits spanning the BBC's The News Quiz and Channel 4's The Big Narstie Show, Sam knows how to craft a joke that lands. His viral sketches have racked up tens of millions of views, but it's his live act—sharp, observational, and dripping with clever wit—that's cemented his reputation at clubs like The Comedy Store, Backyard Comedy Club, and Up The Creek. He dissects modern British life with an edge of darkness wrapped in innate charm, tackling everything from identity to relationships with irreverent twists.

Sam's also the creator of The List, a YouTube series where his commentary cuts through the noise with surgical precision. A runner-up at Bath Comedy Festival New Act Competition 2023, he's been a favourite on the Comedy Boat since 2024, bringing his effortlessly slick timing to Battersea Barge whenever he steps aboard. Expect astute takes, knowing smirks, and comedy that sticks.
