You Me & Comedy

Three of America’s biggest comedy stars are joining forces this December as Cedric the Entertainer, Grammy Award winner Tiffany Haddish and Academy Award winner Mo’Nique come together for You Me & Comedy – a major three-city UK arena event.

The all-star line-up will take over Utilita Arena Birmingham on 6 December, OVO Arena Wembley in London on 7 December and AO Arena Manchester on 8 December. UK comedy favourites Slim, Richard Blackwood and Axel Blake will also join the bill, with American comedian Rip Michaels hosting all three shows.

A leading figure in British stand-up, multi-award-winning comedian Slim is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of the Black British comedy circuit. He is joined by comedian, actor and presenter Richard Blackwood and Britain’s Got Talent winner Axel Blake, bringing three established UK favourites to the arena line-up.

Hosting the shows is Rip Michaels, the American comedian and producer known for his high-energy, no-holds-barred style and sharp audience interaction.

Tiffany Haddish is a Grammy Award-winning comedian and actress, celebrated for her breakthrough role in Girls Trip and appearances in films including Bad Boys: Ride or Die and The Lego Movie 2. Her Netflix special and comedy album Black Mitzvah earned the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album in 2021.

Cedric the Entertainer is one of America’s most recognisable comedy stars, with a career spanning stand-up, television and more than 30 films. His credits include the Barbershop franchise, the Madagascar films, Ice Age, Planes and The Neighborhood, and he has been recognised by Comedy Central among its greatest stand-up comedians.

Mo’Nique is an Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award-winning actress and comedian, receiving major acclaim for her performance in the 2009 film Precious. A formidable stand-up performer, she also made history as the first woman to host the nationally televised Showtime at the Apollo.

Bringing together major US comedy names and leading UK talent across three of the country’s biggest arena cities, You Me & Comedy is set to be one of December’s standout live comedy events.
