Gina Yashere (comedian)

Gina is a comedy force of nature! Her unique take on being both cultural insider and outsider never fails to raise the roof. She has travelled the world, starting in Nigeria to embrace her ancestral roots and then through, to Thailand to get her “Zen On” and experience colonic irrigation! Finally she ended up in the one place where she truly feels at one with her true spiritual being....Los Angeles. Gina has also recently lost over 30kg, is looking fantastic and is happy to chat about her weight loss journey.

Gina hails from London via Nigeria and shoots from the hip. Her unique take on being both cultural insider and outsider never fails to raise the roof.  Following an early career as a Lift Engineer, she made her comedy debut at The Edinburgh Festival in 1995. The shows sold out almost immediately and overnight both audiences and critics alike were smitten.  Her bombastic delivery, infectious personality and cheeky observations have wowed audiences not just in the UK but also in America, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Montreal, South Africa and all over Europe.

A storming performance on American TV’s Last Comic Standing in 2007 led to Gina becoming the first British comic to appear on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam. As a result Gina has found herself the toast of the Hollywood hills and is now based stateside.

GINA continues to take the comedy world by storm and is now one of the most highly sought after comics in the country, making numerous appearances on TV, radio and the big screen. Her TV appearances have included The Mobo Awards (UK-host), The Lenny Henry Show (UK), and Celebrity Fame Academy (UK). Radio shows have ranged from her own BBC Radio London show to Radio 2's critically acclaimed The Powder Room.  Feature films have included Kiss Kiss and Mr In Between. In fact, it's a wonder she found the time to pick–up her 3rd award in a row for Best Female at the recent Black Comedy Awards (UK). Since moving to the US Gina has appeared on the Tonight show with Conan, Chelsea Lately and is regular on the Jay Leno show as 'Madame Yashere - The Surly Psychic'
