This year's EGR B2B Awards will be hosted by Olga Koch. Born in Russia, her stand-up is smart, bold, and brimming with wit and she’s no stranger to blending intellect with comedy gold.
Olga’s debut show Fight, a powerful, punchy exploration of her family’s departure from Russia, earned her a Best Newcomer nomination at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.
She followed this with If/Then, a brilliant deep dive into computers and romance, and Homecoming, chronicling her journey to UK citizenship, which was filmed as an Amazon Prime special. Her 2023 show Just Friends was one of the best-reviewed performances of the Edinburgh Fringe, cementing her place as a comedy force to be reckoned with.
You've probably seen her lighting up your screens on QI, Mock The Week, Late Night Mash, Frankie Boyle's New World Order, Guessable, House of Games, Question Team, and The Stand Up Sketch Show. Olga also brings her trademark wit to the airwaves as well, hosting Bad Advice with Olga Koch on Dave’s YouTube channel, Late Night Mash – The Podcast, and Human Error for BBC Sounds.
Olga studied Computer Science at New York University and gained her Masters Degree in the Social Science of the Internet from Keble College, Oxford University.
