Ria Lina

Ria’s first performance as a stand-up comedian was while still at St. Andrews University. She did not perform regularly until she moved to London to do her PhD. By the time she had finished that, she was an award-winning stand-up comedian working regularly on the UK comedy circuit. Lina has taken four critically acclaimed shows to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Brighton Fringe, the Leicester Comedy Festival, and in Asia as part of the Magner’s International Comedy Festivals. She is also seen regularly on the UK comedy circuit, with her trademark mix of dry wit and bawdy ukulele songs. As a writer she has contributed to two Ladyboys of Bangkok tours and her project, ‘Taboo Raider’, debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2015.
