📷 MEET THE PERFORMERS: ESTHER MANITO
Who she is:
Award-winning comic, writer, and all-round powerhouse, Esther Manito is known for her fierce delivery, blistering observations, and magnetic stage presence. The first comedian of Middle Eastern heritage to perform at the Royal Variety Performance, Esther is breaking boundaries and cracking audiences up across the UK.
TV, stage & festivals:
You’ll recognise her from Live at the Apollo, The Stand-Up Sketch Show, Hypothetical, Comedy Central Live, and Radio 4’s Things My Mother Never Told Me (About Lockdown). Her stand-up rages (rightly) against everyday sexism, identity clichés, motherhood madness — and everything in between.
Watch her in action:
• Live at the Apollo set:

• Esther’s YouTube Channel:

On tour and online:
Her shows Crusade, Hell Hath No Fury, and most recently Slag Bomb have sold out Soho Theatre and earned 5-star reviews. She’s also a vocal commentator on representation in comedy, and her honest take on identity and rage is as empowering as it is hilarious.
Praise for her comedy:
“A powerhouse performance” – Evening Standard
“Ferociously funny” – The Wee Review
“A class act.” – Chortle
