Ada Campe is an award-winning variety artiste, cabaret performer, comedian and magician with an eclectic portfolio. A member of The Magic Circle, she is also a sought-after MC, cabaret performer and comedian across the UK circuit.

In 2018, Ada won both the prestigious Hackney Empire New Act of the Year Show (NATYS) and Leicester Square Theatre’s Old Comedian of the Year competition. A year later, she took the Edinburgh Festival Fringe by storm with _Ada Campe and the Psychic Duck_, which received rave reviews and enjoyed a sold-out run. After the pandemic, Ada returned to Edinburgh in 2022 with _Too Little Too Soon_, a show about queer family histories and amphibian water ballets. In 2023, she had another successful run at The Stand’s New Town Theatre with the nautical-themed _Naval Gazing_, before returning to The Stand in 2024 with _Big Duck Energy_, which was recommended in _The Telegraph_’s Top Ten Comedies to See at the Edinburgh Fringe. In 2023, Ada was nominated for Best Newcomer at the UK Pantomime Awards for her portrayal of the villainous Queen Rat in _Dick Whittington_ at Chipping Norton Theatre. In 2024, she won Best Panto Performance at the Offie Awards for her role as the capricious magician The Sorcerer in the Royal Vauxhall Tavern’s adult panto _Tossed_. She returned to the RVT for the 2024/25 panto _Wolfed_, playing Granny La Hood, and has since been nominated for Best Supporting Artist at the 2026 UK Pantomime Awards and for Best Adult Panto Performance at the 2026 Fringe Theatre Awards for her role as The Inventorer in the 2025/26 RVT panto _Growled: Beauty and the Beast Continues_.
