Creator Of The Week: Ania Magliano
This week’s featured creator is Ania Magliano, one of the 4 four regular writers on the ‘Have I Got News For You’ Twitter account.
| Ania is a 22 year old stand-up and writer based in London. She has written for Frankie Boyle’s New World Order (BBC2), Newsjack (BBC R4), The Now Show (BBC R4) and has a growing social media following including 20k followers on Twitter, and over 1 million views on Youtube with over 20k subscribers. She’s recently branched out into TikTok, and when we asked why her response was as honest as it is hilarious… |
‘I’m a stand up comedian, and since that was lost during the pandemic TikTok offered a nice new place to be creative in a fun way that offers a lot comedy wise. But the real reason is I saw an ex doing it which made me want to do it better’
On TikTok she has created a series of videos around the repeatable and catchy premise ‘What your [x] says about you…’. One of our particular favourites is ‘What your email signature says about you’. She’s also a dab hand at creative and relatable pieces such as ‘If James Bond was a Gen Z girl’
‘I like to (sometimes lovingly) take the piss out of all facets of life. Sometimes it’s cringe marketing, sometimes it’s my own coming out journey. I try and make things that are relatable so thinking from that angle is important as well’
Ania is a regular at gigs across London, including the Lol Word, 21Soho Presents and Canned Laughter. She is currently developing her debut comedy hour, Ania Magliano: Absolutely No Worries If Not, which she previewed to sold out rooms at VAULTS Festival in February 2020. Her previous shows received 5 stars from Diva Magazine, and have been recommended by Comedy Central as a ‘show not to miss’. She was a Funny Women Finalist 2020, 2Northdown New Act of the Year Finalist 2019 and Chortle Student Comedy Award Finalist 2018. She is a former member of the Cambridge Footlights as one of the first Access Officers, and a founder of Stockings Comedy, a comedy collective for female and non-binary comedy performers.
