Ava Vidal

 who  stars in Mock The Week two days before on 5 July      

 
"A towering talent" The List

"Wonderful. A class comic" The Stage responsibility is epidemic, and in today’s shallow society bad behaviour is not just forgiven, but celebrated. Ava herself has been praised for forging a successful comedy career despite the rigors of being a single parent – but who deserves kudos for getting pregnant at 17? It’s hardly a difficult achievement. And her irresponsibility doesn’t end there. Too much drink and drugs have landed her in some tight spots with unsavoury characters – including an attempted murder."A natural on-stage charm and chatty demeanour… Impressive" ChortleYet despite her reckless living, Ava reluctantly finds herself carrying the burdens of a role model. As a black person, as a woman, as a mother – all these elements of society expect her to represent them,and behave accordingly. That’s a responsibility no one wants.Such pressures have forced Ava to examine her image as much as her behaviour, and ask the question: can you really change either?“Funny, witty and engaging, this is a comedian worth watching” Three Weeks

 Ava Vidal was a finalist in the 2003 BBC New Comedy Awards and has since appeared in comedy clubs across the world from New York’s Improv club to The Blue Monday Club in Berlin. In 2005, she earned herself a place on Channel 4’s Kings Of Comedy, alongside Andrew Maxwell, Boothby Graffoe and Stan Boardman after just two years on the circuit. Other TV appearances include The Crouches (BBC1), Sack Race (BBC2), Malai Monologues (BBC3) 28 Acts in 28 Minutes (BBC3) andThe Comic Side of 7 Days (BBC3). She has written as a columnist for The Independent on Sunday,and been the subject of her own Channel 4 documentary. Ava’s performed her debut solo show Misfit at the Underbelly in 2005. It detailed Ava’s past and her inability to fit in with society and its stereotypes. In Responsible, Ava is shaking off that past and examining her future.plus
