Karyna Aslanova, Nik Koukides, Levy Lupu & Mike Pigskin: PROGRESS

A four-way split work in progress comedy show featuring Karyna Aslanova, Nik Koukides, Levy Lupu and Mike Pigskin.

Mike Pigskin

A little bit rude, slightly surrealist hot and cute stand up and character comedian from Up North grafting hard on comedy circuits from Prague to London since 2017. West Didsbury Comedy Festival’s New Comedian of the Year 2020 Finalist.

“No really this is a lot to embarrass yourself and the product is not funny and disturbing. Try another career my guy” – @vgvwm3pjg5

“What the hell would make some one do this is wild is it supposed to be funny Iam confused at the target audience” – @adamdoggynew

“lol made me laugh” – @FatAlan_

Karyna Aslanova

Karyna is a Kyiv born and bred, hateful and philosophical goth chav turning drama into comedy across Europe and the UK since 2017. Agony is her element, oversharing is her gift.

She’s has taken part in various competitions and festivals including the Lancashire Fringe 2019, WDCF New Online Comedian of the Year 2020, Funny Women Content Creator Awards Finalist 2023, Sketch Off 2024, and Fashion Loves Comedy 2025.

Nik Koukides

Nik is a Cypriot comedian winning crowds over with his Mediterranean charm since 2022, tackling the subjects of love, sex, family, and the absurdities of being a foreigner in London *with his unique brand of observational humour. He has performed at multiple competitions and festivals, including the Limassol Comedy Festival.

Levy Lupu

Originally from Romania, Levy moved to the UK alone at 17 and quckly learned that life is both brutal and hilarious. His comedy is dark, low-energy, and effortlessly likeable—mixing sharp observations with brutally honest storytelling.

An award-winning comedian, Levy Lupu has been making waves on the UK circuit. Most recently, he was named “one to watch” by JW3 and has been shortlisted for the first round of heats in this year’s British Comedian of the Year. His unique perspective—shaped by his heritage, years of working many different jobs, and an unfortunate history of surviving on £3 a day—gives his material a sharp, relatable edge.

He’s proving that even the bleakest stories can get big laughs. Come for the deadpan delivery, stay for the existential dread (and the comedy gold in between).
