London Hughes Career
Hughes began her television career presenting daytime shows on the adult television network Babestation before moving on to present the CBBC morning show for nearly two years. During that period, she also hosted live connections on BBC One and BBC Two, appeared on Blue Peter on a regular basis, and co-hosted the children’s show All Over the Place with Ed Petrie, as well as voicing characters in CBBC’s comedy Big Babies. As a comedian, she used the stage name “Miss London” at first, then “Miss London Hughes” and finally “London Hughes” to prevent confusion with the provincial beauty competition Miss London. Hughes received the 2009 Funny Women Award at the Comedy Store in London, beating out Eve Webster and Jo Selby.
Hughes made her feature film debut in Femi Oyeniran’s comedy It’s a Lot, which was distributed nationwide in 2013. London improvised a lot of the comedy material for her scenes and choreographed the film’s numerous dance routines. Hughes made her BBC Radio 4 debut in August 2013 with her own sitcom pilot, 28 Dates Later, which she wrote and starred in. The sitcom, loosely based on her life, was about two females who work in a cinema and enjoy romantic films but can’t manage to make their personal love lives meet up with the ones in the movies. She has also been on BBC Radio 4 in the comic entertainment show Life and the satirical sketch show Newsjack.
She featured as a sex store worker in an episode of Fleabag’s first season in 2016. Hughes debuted her own YouTube comedy series No Filter in 2016, which she wrote and starred in, based on her real-life friendship and dating experiences. Hughes has also appeared on the Drunk Women Solving Crime podcast, which is hosted by writer/comedian Hannah George, Catie Wilkins, and Taylor Glenn, as well as Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre Podcast, RHLSTP. She appeared on ITV’s All-Star Musical 2019 and The Stand-Up Sketch Show on ITV2 as well as BBC Two’s Mock the Week.
Hughes was working on a comedian travel program starring herself and Whoopi Goldberg in 2018. Despite Goldberg’s agreement to do the show, no TV network was interested, and the show was never made. In 2017, Hughes’ debut Edinburgh Festival Fringe show was London Hughes: Superstar (but nobody knows it). In 2019, she received critical acclaim for her performance in London To Catch a D*ck, becoming the first black candidate for Best Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. The routine was turned into a Netflix special in 2020. Hughes will co-star with Robin Thede in an upcoming Perfect Strangers revival for HBO Max.
