12th October 2026 – Award winning comedian and writer Ania Magliano has announced that she will be playing the London Palladium with her critically acclaimed show, ‘Peach Fuzz’. The news comes as Ania is currently starring in Saturday Night Live UK (Sky One and Peacock) as co-host of Weekend Update – a section of the show that has been highly praised by adoring fans and critics, claiming it’s “the real highlight” (The Telegraph) and “a defining moment” (Metro). The extra show at the over 2,000 seater theatre, on 29th April 2027, will be the last chance for London audiences to catch the hit show before Ania continues touring across the country. Ania is also gearing up to play her first ever shows in the US later this year with already sold out dates in New York City (at The Bellhouse) and in Los Angeles (at Dynasty Typewriter), with more US dates soon to be announced. The news marks Ania’s biggest ever London show and makes this her biggest tour to date.

‘Peach Fuzz’ will see Ania once again deliver a stellar hour of stand-up comedy with her signature laidback, story-telling style and relatable humour. Since her last tour, Ania has had another year’s worth of stories, confessions and gossip she wants to share with audiences. Armed with a microphone, Ania will explore everything and anything, sharing all of her hinged and unhinged inner thoughts – including musings on her own body’s idiosyncrasies, experience in a flotation tank, Sabrina Carpenter (everyone’s favourite pop girly) and the suffragettes (everyone’s favourite girl group).
