HAVEN Coffee's Signature gig, Laff-Uccino is BACK once again, during the festive season of 2026, at Big Penny Social, with an ACE Lineup including Yuriko Kotani, John Robertson, and Rosie Jones, with even more to be announced.

The line-up includes talented and hilarious comedians from Refugee & Migrant Backgrounds performing for their very first, second or third gig, refugees from our latest stand-up workshop participants, and some old horses of the stage.

Laff-Uccino started in December 2019. Born out of Walthamstow’s HAVEN Coffee, a social enterprise that serves ethically sourced, fair-trade, organic cup of specialty coffee with a social mission of breaking false narratives around refugees and migrants through arts and culture. This show marks the 12th instalment of their signature comedy gig.
