The Stand-up Diversity Podcast celebrates diverse performers in comedy, past and present. Each episode features a long-form interview with an individual comedian in which they discuss their craft, their unique contribution to the stand-up scene and the joys and challenges of their comedy careers. Produced as part of a research project at the University of Kent, the podcast documents the contribution that diverse people have made to British stand-up comedy, and looks at what still needs to be done to recognise and promote diversity in the comedy industry.
Hosted by Dr Oliver Double and Dr Sophie Quirk, with support from Research England’s Participatory and Co-produced Research Fund.

Tanyalee shares her experience of performing on both sides of the Atlantic, from the 1990s - the present. She talks about stand-up as medium to celebrate her wonderful life before elaborating on: using comedy as inspiration; the impact a comedy career has on home life; the extra labour required to combat disability discrimination and disorganisation; the UK’s aversion to discussing disability; the importance of being ‘unstoppable me’.
