Raj Poojara & Roger O’Sullivan (Double Previews) – The Gaffe Comedy Club

Raj Poojara grew up in a Ugandan-Indian household where career advice was less ‘follow your dreams’ and more ‘don’t embarrass the family’. In DICE, he explores what happens when life feels pre-rolled.
From identity confusion and hyper-competitive cousins to navigating respectable career paths and cultural expectation, Raj examines the pressure to land on the ‘right’ number. Sharp, personal and packed with punchlines.
Ambition is a mortal sin — or so Roger O’Sullivan was taught growing up in rural Ireland. But with the Irish identity trending and authenticity all the rage, in 2026, perhaps the real nepotism is being a peasant boy who can tell a few funny stories.
Nominee: Best Newcomer Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2025. Winner: Best Newcomer Comedian’s Choice Award 2025. ‘No shortcuts: just craft, timing and a deep love of the game’ (One4Review.co.uk). ‘Talents like O’Sullivan don’t come around very often’ (Rolling Stone).
