A small girl that gets big laughs, Becky Umbers is a multi-award winning comedian With a unique take on life and the voice to match. Becky won Best Debut at the 2019 New Zealand International comedy Festival and was nominated for Best Female Comedian NZ 2022 (NZ Comedy Guild Awards). Already a hit on the NZ scene with her quirky storytelling and observations, she has recently been making her way round the UK comedy circuit with the occasional trip back to restock marmite supplies.
“Umbers had us in stitches with her side-splitting stories… I felt that I was in a safe space, listening to the hilarious stories of someone I had known for years.” Ratworld Magazine
“Becky Umbers quite knocks me over. She has developed a marvellous persona that’s a cross between a Barbie doll with a voice like water noisily going down a drain and a low-esteem item of jailbait” Theatrereview.org.nz
“Full of zest and energy, her confidence keeps the audience laughing and like her voice, her personality is unique and with her own style of wit and humour added into the mix, she produces an entertaining performance well worth watching!” **** One4review
