Luisa Omielan

Luisa Omielan is a British stand-up comedian, writer and performer known for pioneering a new wave of feminist stand-up in the UK. Her groundbreaking show What Would Beyoncé Do?! became a cultural phenomenon, selling out runs across the UK and internationally and earning her a devoted global following.

An Edinburgh Fringe veteran, Luisa has spent nearly two decades creating bold, original one-woman shows that blend comedy, storytelling, music and social commentary. Her work explores themes of power, faith, grief, patriarchy and female autonomy, always delivered with razor-sharp humour and emotional honesty.

She is currently developing her most ambitious work yet, God Is a Woman The Musical, a comedic musical re-imagining the story of Mary Magdalene and asking how different our world might look if history and the Bible, had been written by women.

Luisa’s work sits at the intersection of comedy, activism and theatre, inviting audiences to laugh, question and imagine new possibilities for the stories we inherit and the world we create.
