Komedia New Comedy Award Winner 2026 Michael Campuzano

"In a comedy scene desperately short of working-class voices, how refreshing to hear Michael Campuzano talk of his day job as a binman. No pretensions here, as a slightly geezerish manner combines with robust gag-writing." Steve Bennett, Chortle

"Michael Campuzano is electric, a fresh voice that commands attention." Victoria Nangle, Arts Journalist, co-producer Komedia New Comedy Award

"Original, warm and upbeat Michael Campuzano took the roof off in his first five-minute spot at Comic Boom comedy club at Komedia, Brighton. Our audience didn't want him to leave the stage!" Jill Edwards, promoter Comic Boom comedy club at Komedia, Brighton
