"Lina is a musical comic with a brilliant line in bawdy songs... storming set!" - Evening Standard "I have no doubt she will hold her own so easily that she'll have a hand free to hold someone else's too." - The Guardian "There's no denying that the girl's got talent." - Chortle, the UK Comedy Guide Winner of the EMMA Best Comedian Award 2003, Ria Lina is still a fairly new face on the circuit. But she has already made an impact with her dry wit and her ukulele. Intermingling observations with surprisingly refreshing songs she covers topics rarely discussed on the circuit such as mail-order brides, small breasts, and ping-pong balls. Ria Lina trained as an actress, singer and dancer before deciding to try her hand at stand-up comedy. She still has an avid interest in acting, the British screening of her latest short film, Dirt, occurring October of last year. Ria has been a regular on the stand-up comedy circuit for the past 2 years, having in that time headlined at Kingston University and performed at such venues as Jongleurs, the Comedy Café, and the Comedy Store. She also participated in a benefit for Breakthrough Breastcancer at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane alongside the likes of Jo Brand, Bill Bailey, and Al Murray. She just finished filming a documentary for Channel 4 that uncovers the myth surrounding oriental women in today's society, giving her the unique opportunity to explore the use of humour in polemic television, it was aired in May, 2003. Ria will be attending the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year as part of the Big Value Late Show; venue: Cafe Royal. Television Competitions
