Desiree Burch was the name on everyone’s lips at the Edinburgh Comedy Poster Awards in 2016 after she used a collage of penises representing her own face for her This is Evolution stand-up show.

The American comedian has since gone on to earn critical acclaim for her latest show, Unf***able, which transferred from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to London’s Soho Theatre earlier this year, earning rave reviews from The Guardian and Chortle, who dubbed the show 'relentless' and 'side splitting'. Now, having caught the attention of fellow comedian Russell Howard, Burch has been seen as a guest star at his stand-up shows.
