“Absolutely riveting”—The Guardian

“Not just another w***** talking about comedy.” — Greg Proops
Bilal Zafar is an award-winning stand-up comedian who first broke through with a lastminute.com Best Newcomer Award for his debut show, CAKES. He’s now back with Rubicon, a multimedia, interactive hour with games, prizes and stories, promising a genuinely life-changing experience.
Bilal has appeared on screen in Catastrophe, Sick of It and Paul Feig's Last Christmas and to many people, he’s known best as a full-time football manager embroiled in scandal on his hugely popular Twitch channel. We discuss:
diving headfirst into football management through Twitch in lockdown on Limmy's advice and building an audience through him
the challenge of sustaining momentum after his 2016 best newcomer nomination, and carrying that history into this year's Fringe
and touring his debut show Cakes, and filming it for YouTube years later when he had the resources to do so
finding unexpected happiness in a new career
and developing new show Rubicon with Nick Helm, and being pushed to play a more arrogant, less "nice" version of himself

A Very Important Announcement...
vendredi 29 mai 2026 • Durée 05:30
HUGE NEWS: I'M GOING ON TOUR!
I'm heading on my first UK tour in nearly a decade with Canary. As the miners scrambled to safety, they’d try to grab the dead canary and then immediately revive it with pure oxygen, condemning it to a constant loop of singing, panicking, dying and then singing again.
Which is a tiny bit like medicating your chronic dread by making people laugh about the climate crisis*
*As certified by The TImes: "The funny side of climate change… No, really!"
This week we’re delving into the archives and going back to episode 259 in 2018 with that year's Edinburgh Comedy Award winner, Rose Matafeo! We discuss:
how she ensured her hilarious material about female sexuality in Horndog brought the whole room along with it
how she's actively mining for hot takes
and why she has a quintuple-threat approach to performance
