Bio
Ania is a comedian based in London. She’s a triple threat (bisexual, Gen Z, bad at cooking). Her 2024 show Forgive Me Father sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre, with a UK tour running from January to March 2025. The Guardian described it as “a masterclass”. Her 2023 stand up show, I Can’t Believe You’ve Done This, was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show, and received multiple 4 and 5 star reviews, with the Scotsman calling it a ‘beautifully structured show’. The show was the Number 1 pick in Time Out’s ‘The 11 best comedy shows at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023’.
Her debut hour, Absolutely No Worries If Not, won Best New Show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2022 and received widespread critical acclaim. She was also a Times Breakthrough Nominee for the Sky Arts Awards 2024.
Ania is currently starring on series 20 of the smash hit C4 show Taskmaster, has appeared on Live at the Apollo and Richard Osman’s House of Games, as well as Off Menu, The Stand Up Sketch Show, and The Comedy Guide to Life. She has opened for Ed Gamble, Marc Maron, and Catherine Cohen. As a writer, she has worked extensively with Amelia Dimoldenberg across her viral Chicken Shop Date series.
With a growing online presence—including over 1 million YouTube views and 2.5 million TikTok likes—Ania is a rising star.
