Emmy nominated writer and comedian, as seen on Frankie Boyle’s New World Order (BBC Two), Comedians Giving Lectures (Dave) and Comedy Central Live, Canadian-born Erika Ehler made a striking debut at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe, named as an "act to watch” by The Skinny and Rolling Stone, with critics praising her dark, incisive comedy and sharp delivery.

In 2024, she returned with her second hour, I Got Some Dope Ass Memories With People That I’ll Never Fck With Again*, at Monkey Barrel Comedy.

A graduate of Salford University’s Comedy Writing & Performance course, and winner of the Chortle Student Comedy Award 2019, Erika has also written for Roast Battle (Comedy Central), Have I Got News for You (BBC), Never Mind the Buzzcocks (Sky), and Death to 2020 (Netflix), The World According to Cunk (Netflix) establishing her as one of the UK’s most distinctive and promising comedy voices.

Reviews for this event

Naomi R reviewed Erika Ehler (Work in Progress) which happened on 7:30pm on Thu 4th Jun 2026.

You seemed a bit disheartened at the end but you were so good. You seemed to think you’d lost the audience but that was just loss of energy and momentum from checking your notes. We could sense you losing your will and we began to lose it with you. Also I know we were Guinea pigs but you were slightly dismissive towards us for that which maybe cooled us down a bit. But it was all there, just need to get the flow and pin down the ending. Maybe don’t tell us beforehand if you think the next bit is funny or not because that’s up to us! It makes us feel bad if we don’t laugh! I would come and watch this again once it’s a finished piece.
