Fresh from starring in the latest series of Taskmaster, Ania Magliano (Live At The Apollo, Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Show Nominee) brings a brand-new show full of jokes, confessions, and occasionally unhinged observations to venues nationwide. From the quirks of her own body to the legend that is Eve (yes, from Adam and), to her newly discovered boundaries, Peach Fuzz is Ania at her most relatable – and most funny. Ania has opened for Ed Gamble, Marc Maron and Catherine Cohen, and writes for Amelia Dimoldenberg’s Chicken Shop Date. Her choices on the Off Menu podcast are widely regarded as the worst of all time.
