  • Chump’s Comedy: Vittorio Angelone, Olga Koch, Huge Davies

    • Chump’s first ever Gulbenkian show boasts an unmissable line up of Vittorio Angelone, Olga Koch and Huge Davies, hosted by Kit Proudfoot.

    Chump’s Comedy presents an amazing mixed bill comedy line up Having exploded onto the scene less than 18 months ago Chump’s has quickly gained a reputation as one of the most-exciting comedy nights in the UK by bringing a diverse mix of household names (Rose Matafeo, Fred Armisen, Phil Wang, Fern Brady, Ed Gamble, Sam Campbell) and the best new acts to buzzing sold-out crowds in Margate, Edinburgh, London and now Canterbury!

    Vittorio Angelone

    Italian name, Irish accent, Vittorio was brought up in Belfast and moved to London to train as a classical musician before making the predictable switch to stand-up comedy. He was nominated for Best Newcomer at Edinburgh 2022 and his last show sold out 8 nights at Leicester Square Theatre! Vittorio co-hosts a podcast with his friend Mike Rice called ‘Mike & Vittorio’s Guide to Parenting’, where they tackle parenting issues from the unique perspective of not having any children, any interest in children, or mentioning children at all.

    “Come for the caustic wit, stay for a poignancy that never strays into shameless pandering.” – Rolling Stone Magazine
