Esther Manito

Esther Manito recently won 2026 Chortle Awards, for Best Headliner and is currently touring her extremely well reviewed show "Slag Bomb"

 

Esther is an Arab Essex comedian who completely overturns expectations of what that identity might suggest. She’s appeared on Live at the Apollo (BBC), The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV), and Hypothetical (Dave), and her voice can be heard across platforms including BBC Sounds on Russell Kane’s Evil Genius, as co-host of Radio 4 Extra’s Newsjack Unplugged, as well as CBBC’s Bitesize Parents, BBC’s Breaking the News, and Russell Kane’s Boys Don’t Cry.

​

Her show last year  "#NotAllMen" earned top honours at the Leicester Comedy Festival in 2021. Over the years, she’s toured alongside major names such as Alan Davies, Shappi Khorsandi, Sindhu Vee, Jason Manford, Jo Brand, and Al Murray.

​

Esther Manito hosts her own podcast, “Ghastly Women”, with her friend and fellow comic Lily. The pair discuss everything from Gwenyth Paltrow to the scours of everyday sexism – all from a comedic angle, of course.

​

You can also catch Esther appearing as a guest on some of the UK’s most popular podcasts; recent appearances include Stu Whiffen’s Off The Beat & Track, and Lads, Lads, Lads with Rufus and Maz.
