Kemah Bob Aug 01, 2025

Show notes

Kemah Bob is a bold, fearless and sharply funny comedian, writer and producer originally from Houston, Texas and now based in London. Her debut show Miss Fortunate, which explored resilience, recovery and self-acceptance, was one of The Guardian’s Top 10 Comedy Shows of 2024.

We discuss valuing authenticity over polished craft, navigating a bipolar diagnosis and turning a mental health episode into art, the healing power (and challenges) of using comedy as an open dialogue with strangers, how moving from the US to the UK gave her space to truly find herself, when to say no to club gigs, how the Black Lives Matter movement opened doors but also exposed performative allyship within UK TV and is Kemah Bob happy…
