Winner of the EMMA
Award for Best Comedienne 2003, Ria Lina has made an impact with her dry
wit and ukulele. She has been a regular on the stand-up comedy circuit
for the past six years, having in that time performed at such venues as
Jongleurs, the Comedy Café, and the Comedy Store. She also participated
in a benefit for Breakthrough Breastcancer at the Theatre Royal, Drury
Lane alongside the likes of Jo Brand, Bill Bailey, and Al Murray. Her
most recent project has been a comedy sketch show for ITV2 (Meet the Blogs,
2007). In the past, Ria has written and presented her own documentary for Channel 4 that looked at revealing the truth behind many of the myths that surround oriental women in Britain today. Her other projects include the filming of the comedy series, Malai Monologues, for BBC 3; and The World Stands Up, for Comedy Central (USA), the Paramount Comedy Channel (UK), and the Comedy Network Channel (AUS); and Sweet n' Sour Comedy Sketch Show for BBC3. Ria Lina trained as an actress, singer and dancer before deciding to try her hand at stand-up comedy. |
