Ria Lina | Speaker Biography

Touring Filipina comedian and actress
Regular pundit on major news channels
Writer and presenter of Channel 4 documentary
‌‌Ria Lina is a touring Filipina comedian, actress and writer known for her appearances on BBC’s Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, The Now Show and Mock The Week – and in November was named as one of The Evening Standard’s ‘Hottest Comedians You Should Be Watching Now’. Throughout her stand-up career, Ria has taken five shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, with her work tackling topics such as autism, topical news and racial identity. Her career stretches from stage and screen to radio and the occasional ukulele – all in a unique style described by ‘The Scotsman’ as ‘fearless , provocative and very funny’.
Ria is the only Filipina comedian in British stand-up. She 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. A regular pundit on Sky News, BBC News, Times Radio, and TalkRadio, Ria is in demand for her scientific insight, confident delivery and biting wit.
A prolific writer, Ria has written for the Ladyboys of Bangkok ‘Fantasy & Feathers’ and ‘Glamorous Amorous’ tours, and she wrote and acted in the ITV2 comedy sketch show Meet the Blogs. She has also written and presented her own Channel 4 documentary that revealed the truth behind the myths surrounding East Asian women in Britain.
