UK comedian Ava Vidal will make her Australian debut at the Sydney Comedy Store in September.

After spending 4 years as a prison officer in the tough UK prison system, Vidal turned her hand to stand up after being inspired by American comedian Chris Rock. Her comedy has a distinctive point of view, influenced in part by her time spent behind the prison walls, as well as being a regularly expelled boarding school rebel, a teenage single mother, as well as the victim of domestic abuse.
