Featuring:

- Dara Ó Briain
- Nigel Ng
- Jayde Adams

Location

Cadogan Hall

Date

27 September 2021

Joel Dommett hosts a remarkable and wonderfully diverse line-up celebrating the return to Cadogan Hall. Daliso Chaponda, who broke through on BGT, warms up the audience for the legendary Dara O Briain – who’s clearly delighted to back onstage (albeit nursing a knee operation). Nigel Ng, creator of online cult Uncle Roger, explains his difficulty with the British diet; Sindhu Vee explains her difficulty with her children; and Alun Cochrane admits he has a problem with thrill seekers. Jeneba Kanneh-Mason, one of a whole family of ‘virtuosi,’ raises the tone with Lizst’s Hungarian Rhapsody – only for Beardyman’s beatboxing video looping to raise the roof. The biggest applause of the night goes to Nina Conti, the brilliantly entertaining ventriloquist, and newcomer Jayde Adams. Her retaliatory Nessun Dorma will go down in RVS history!
