ANGIE LE MAR
Comedian

This Lady of Comedy is no lightweight. She attracts thousands to her shows on the live comedy circuit and it is no surprise that she is not only popular to her loyal female and male fans in the UK but attracts strong support from her followers in the USA. Ten years at the top has seen the talented Angie Le Mar headline gigs at the Comedy Store in both LA and New York and was the first British comedian to storm Harlem's Apollo Theatre.

In 1994, Angie wrote, directed and starred in the groundbreaking sketch show "Funny Black Women on the Edge" which was one of the major hits of the Edinburgh Festival. She played to sell out audiences and rave reviews, which were repeated in a highly successful national tour and several seasons at the Theatre Royal Stratford East. Nevertheless, her brilliancy reached greater heights when she directed the successful "Waiting to Inhale", male take on the hit Whitney Houston movie. In addition to her comedy work, Angie recently displayed her
dramatic acting abilities in Yvonne Brewster's acclaimed Talawa Theatre
production of "Flying West".

I was first introduced to the talents of Angie Le Mar when she appeared on the successful long running comedy series of the early nineties, The Real Mccoy. Later she would appear on Channel 4's top comedy show Get Up, Stand Up, like The Real Mccoy this was a scetch show fused with real stand up comedy infront of an audience. Infact there is no stopping Angie, her TV credits include Birds of a Feather, Black Britain and Channel 4's
Late Licence. By popular demand, her late night Sunday radio show for GLR radio
and she is currently hosting a Friday night show on Choice FM.

Look out for Angie in the future as I am sure she is working on a number of exciting projects.
