Jake Lambert—one of the UK’s most exciting new comedians—is heading to the Rio Theatre with his smash-hit show The Sunshine Kid.

Fresh from sell-out shows across the UK, Europe, and Australia, Jake Lambert brings his worldwide tour The Sunshine Kid to Canada in 2025.

Described by The Telegraph as “a joke machine,” Jake has firmly established himself as one of the UK’s rising stand-ups. Known for his fast-paced, gag-packed storytelling, his online videos have attracted more than half a billion views, earning him a loyal global following.

The Sunshine Kid is Jake’s debut tour, and has been an international success that continues to grow with new dates around the world, now including Canada. Alongside his touring success, Jake has performed on Live at the Apollo and joined Michael McIntyre on his world tour.
