About the comedians
Fresh from his debut at Live at the Apollo, we are delighted to have the wonderful Stuart Goldsmith back to host Heli Laughs again, bringing his witty charm and relatable stories to the stage and keep everything ticking along.
Headlining the evening is the wonderful Angela Barnes, a series regular on Mock the Week and with Live at the Apollo under her belt we are delighted to bring her to the Heli Laughs stage. With her easy going manner, warm autobiographical stories and strong jokes, she is great fun to watch and we cant wait for her set!
Next up is Jin Hao Li, made in China and marinated in Singapore, Jin Hao is loved and feared for his dry wit, gritty softness, and surreal energy, he quickly became a Chortle Student Finalist, BBC New Comedy Awards Finalist, and was accepted into the Pleasance Comedy Reserve 2023. He was also recently nominated for a Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards for his debut hour, "Swimming in a Submarine".
We are delighted to be welcoming Celya AB to the Heli Laughs stage, originally from Paris she is a dynamic stand-up comedian with a captivating stage presence and brilliantly crafted material. With sold out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022/23 and appearing on Live at the Apollo and Off Menu, she is a really exciting act that we cant wait to see!
Somerset born and bred, Laura Lexx is next in our line up. She is a comedy expert both on and off the stage, with biting wit and brutal honesty juxtaposed by her warm and energy, her set will be delightfully funny and not to be missed.
She will be joined by critically acclaimed comedian and writer Jordan Brookes, who has featured on Russel Howards Good News and won the Best Comedy Show at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe! He was also nominated for the same award in 2017 and won the Chortle Comedian’s Comedian Award in 2018. We cant wait to see what he has in store for us!
Finally, local legend and GWAAC super supporter, Dani Johns, will be on stage sharing her stories and misadventures from growing up in Bristol. Sure to put a smile on your face, that wraps up our 2025 Heli Laughs line up!
About Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC)
100% of the proceeds from ticket sales go towards keeping GWAAC's service operational and delivering critical care and pre-hospital emergency medicine to Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire and parts of Wiltshire.
GWAAC sends the skill and equipment of a hospital Emergency Department to the scene of the most serious medical and trauma incidents. Using our helicopter and critical care cars, we rapidly transport our specialist team to emergency situations, from re-starting people’s hearts, to giving blood at the scene of an accident and performing lifesaving care, all before the patient reaches the hospital to give them a better chance of survival and recovery.
We look forward to seeing you at the theatre!
