Ollie Holder performed his debut stand-up comedy set, alongside comedy legend Arj Barker.
Ollie’s sweet personality didn’t just shine on stage—it radiated throughout the entire room. His genuine charm and positivity reminded us that comedy isn’t just about punchlines; it’s about Goodwill>building goodwill, connecting with the audience, and creating an atmosphere of trust.
And Ollie didn’t shy away from the tough stuff either. With heart and humour, he tackled challenging topics like racism, offering perspectives that were both thought-provoking and brilliantly funny. It’s this kind of courage and authenticity that sets Hard Knock Knocks graduates apart.
