Sikisa: From Courtroom to Comedy, No Nonsense Allowed

🎙️Episode Overview

In this bold and unfiltered episode, Steve Otis Gunn chats with the multitalented comedian, lawyer, and wrestling superfan Sikisa. From her law-school nickname to her unapologetic admiration for Peggy Mitchell, Sikisa delivers quick wit and honest reflection in a lively chat about hustle culture, the outrageous cost of Edinburgh Fringe, and the quiet chaos of birthdays. Sikisa dives into everything from Caribbean rivalries and the gentrification of Brixton to the exhausting loop of content creation that pressures comedians to “do it all” in the digital age.

Highlights include:

Growing up between Stockwell and Barbados
Wrestling: not fake, carefully scripted, and undeniably dangerous
Why “You’re the Problem” was the show title that never was
OnlyFans, burnout, and headphones that are too clever
Why performers deserve affordable housing during festivals

This episode will appeal to comedy lovers, wrestling fans, and anyone craving a peaceful night's sleep in a Premier Inn
