Alyssa Kyria aka Ariadne the Greek WAG
actress, comedienne, writer

“Ariadne is self obsession in a mini skirt – played with deadpan mastery…more entertaining than 1000 issues of Heat Magazine!” * * * * Metro

Ariadne the Greek WAG is the bitchiest and most glamorous act on the comedy circuit – star of the Edinburgh Festival, Hackney Empire Finalist 2010, Jongleurs Finalist 2010, host of Ariadne the WAG’s Comedy BAG and a regular at some of the biggest and best nights on the circuit – no one is safe from Ariadne’s biting wit (and filthy mouth!). Ariadne the Greek WAG is a headliner, 20 minute set act and a compere for gigs such as WAMBAM, Jongleurs, Soho Comedy Club and more.

Reviews
* * * * Metro, Three Weeks, The List
Metro : Alyssa Kyria is never less than totally engaging. This is more entertaining than 1000 issues of Heat magazine.
Three Weeks: This rude queen of characterisation may just make you piss yourself laughing.
Chortle: Alyssa absolutely bloomed, blossomed and shone. My jaw dropped. She has the potential to be a Saturday evening peak time performer with giant ratings.
