Bethany Black has been described as ‘decidedly dark and deliciously different‘. A comedian, actor and writer, an evening with Bethany is a one way ticket to a world you never knew existed, where dark-tinged comedy is balanced with a warm and chatty style.

Bethany has been performing for over 20 years and has supported many acts on tour including Joe Lycett and Paul Sinha. Blessed with a sharp tongue and a desire to overshare she's been critically acclaimed for her personal, confessional style of comedy. Just as comfortable performing in a small room as in a stadium she has travelled the world and is a regular at some of the biggest clubs in the UK.
