Priya Hall

Priya Hall is a Welsh-Indian stand-up comedian and comedy writer who’s quickly ascending the comedy scene in England and Wales.

She has already featured on BBC Presents: Stand up for Live Comedy (BBC One & Three), Fred At The Stand (BBC Radio 4), Mach Fest (BBC Radio Wales), Stand Yp (S4C), and Hunllef yng Nghymru Sydd (BBC Radio Cymru). She is a host on the podcast Here to Judge, which is available on Spotify. She is a series regular on Sunday Morning With Joanna Page (BBC Radio Wales) where she reports on the weekly news stories.

Priya has also written and starred in a new BBC 2 Wales pilot, Beena and Amrit, currently on BBC iPlayer. The pilot also aired on BBC Radio Wales.

Priya’s additional writing credits include Welcome Strangers (BBC Radio Wales), The Leak (BBC Radio Wales), and Ni Hefyd (S4C). She has a BA in Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, and speaks fluent Welsh.

Her comedy has been described as “hilariously oversharing” (Bristol 24/7) which is all fun and games but frequently gets her into trouble with her mum.
