Ria Lina is to take Riawakening, her debut tour, around the UK between September and November 2023.

Her promoters say: "Fearless, provocative, and very funny, Ria Lina is a highly accomplished comedian, writer and actor. After a critically acclaimed stand out debut on Mock The Week, Ria has quickly become a household name. A hugely admired act on the UK comedy circuit, this multi-award-winning artist commands respect from the moment she walks onstage and delivers with natural ease, energy and fierceness.

"2023 will see Ria embark on her first major UK Tour - Riawakening. In the aftermath of a global pandemic, comedian and scientist, Ria Lina has had a Riawakening and sees the world differently. In this, her highly anticipated debut tour, Ria tackles the issues of coming out of a global pandemic, the new normal, divorce, dating in a new digital world, motherhood and what it really means to be a woman today.

"Ria is the only Filipina comedian in British stand-up and she also has a BSc in Experimental Pathology, an MSc in Forensic Science and a PhD in Virology under her belt, so it's not only Ria's comedy that's highly intelligent.

"Ria is also passionate about being neurodivergent, and increasingly visibility of neurodivergent talent."

Pre-sale tickets for Riawakening are available from Friday 9th December, and go on general sale on Monday 12th December.
