Ola Labib

Influential pioneer Ola Labib is one of the fastest rising names in British comedy. Best known for her infectious charm, edgy comedy material and wry humour, her engaging stories are inspired by both her strict Islamic and traditional African upbringing, citing her father as her biggest comedy hero. At the start of 2022, she was named by ITalkTelly as being one of ‘The Top 22 TV stars to keep an eye on’. She has since supported Mo Gilligan as the first black, muslim woman to perform at the O2 Arena and achieved an impressive list of TV credits including World’s Most Dangerous Road (Dave), Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled (Dave), Comedy Central Live (Comedy Central), The Emily Attack Show (ITV) and Richard Osman’s House of Games (BBC). In 2024, Ola completed her first sold out tour run for her debut show pOLArising and announced her first scripted project with Channel 4 The Pharmacy, which was released in 2025 to critical acclaim and achieved viral success.
