Biography
Eddie Kadi has grown to become one of the UK’s most prominent comedians. As a media personality, his accolades are as extensive as they are staggering, and the stuff of dreams in the entertainment world; hosting with the likes of Wizkid, Burna Boy, and other global superstars, touring across the US with Lauryn Hill and Nas, plus a landmark booking in 2010, where Kadi headlined the O2 Arena – the first Black British comedian to do so.
Since his early days hustling the comedy circuit fresh out of university, Kadi is proof of the magic that’s made when hard work meets creative spark. With decades of experience working in media, now he’s become a mainstay of primetime television. In 2023 Kadi received prestigious nominations from the Royal Television Society for Best Breakthrough Award thanks to his work on Sorry, I Didn’t Know, and the Edinburgh TV Awards for Breakthrough Presenter, both awarding bodies recognising his talent and ability to resonate across audiences. It’s a seasoned work ethic and penchant for dreaming big that have taken him to creative ventures once only dreamed of – proof that it takes 20 years to become an overnight success.
