Anastasia Chokuwamba and Loraine Mponela are Coventry-based comedians and performers who have emerged as stand-out stars of the No Direction Home refugee comedy collective produced by Counterpoints Arts.
They bring humour to their insights into live in the asylum system, and fresh takes on life in the UK. They have performed with No Direction Home at gigs across the country including at London’s Soho Theatre and Southbank Centre, appearing with guest headliners such as Rob Delany, Fatiha El-Ghorri and Romesh Ranganathan. Loraine is also a poet – her second collection, Now I Sing, was published in 2023.
