Michael Che

US comedian and host of Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update - Michael Che - has announced his first London show in three years on 30 July at the Union Chapel in Islington.

A native of lower Manhattan, Che’s comedy uses humour to identify humanity in the most controversial actions. He applies street culture to world issues with a delivery that The New York Times describes as "a reflective, laid-back stage presence with jokes that draw as much from his city upbringing…as from blunt, insightful points that bring the abstract into focus.”

“He can charm an audience but it doesn't undermine his ability to get under the skin of an issue. Definitely a must-see” MIRROR *****
