Ola Labib: How Not to Lead a Double Life 🥸

Growing up as the only Black, hijab-wearing girl in a white seaside town, with strict African Muslim parents, I was stuck between a world I didn't feel part of and one I wasn't allowed to fully embrace.

I was raised to follow the rules, be the good daughter, be a top-achieving pharmacist and finally marry an eligible bachelor. But life had other plans - like falling for a rapper, sneaking into stand-up comedy, and finding myself on stage at the O2.

One of the fastest-rising names in British comedy, Ola Labib joins us live to share the hilarious, unexpected story of her journey to stardom. From family expectations and cultural identity to finding her voice on some of the UK's biggest stages, she'll reveal what it really takes to carve your own path while laughing every step of the way.
