Plenty of people recognise Emma Sidi’s face before they can place her name, and that is a fair reason to look her up. She was among the 11 cast members of Saturday Night Live UK, a six-episode series that launched on Sky on 21 March 2026 according to a BBC News report; this piece separates her sourced credits from personal claims that no retrieved source confirms.

Seven facts, one pattern: the dated, checkable material clusters around television and touring, while the personal details rest on thin sourcing or none at all.
| Item | Detail |

| Brian and Maggie | Sue Richardson, episodes 1 and 2, 2025, according to TVmaze |

| Live work | Emma Sidi is Sue Gray national tour, October to November 2024 (Beyond the Joke tour review) |
Who is Emma on Have You Been Paying Attention?
None of the retrieved sources names a role for Emma Sidi on Have You Been Paying Attention?, so no character or appearance can be stated with confidence here.
- No retrieved source names a role for her on this programme.
- Her confirmed credits do not list it.
The catch: a name that appears in a search result is not the same as a credit, and the gap is worth keeping in mind before repeating a role claim.
What has Emma Sidi been in?
Her confirmed screen work runs from a sketch-comedy cast to a comedy panel show, with dated credits drawn from Wikipedia, Stan and Apple TV listings.
- Saturday Night Live UK: named in the inaugural cast, and Apple TV lists her as a 2026 cast member (Apple TV)
- Starstruck: cast across series 1–3, 2021–2023 (Stan), with her role as Kate spanning 17 episodes (Wikipedia)
- Taskmaster: competed in series 18, finishing third behind Andy Zaltzman and Jack Dee (Wikipedia)
- Death in Paradise: played Amelia Templeton in series 13, episode 7, in 2024 (Wikipedia)
Was Emma Sidi in Ghosts?
- No retrieved source confirms a Ghosts appearance. A search for one returned no confirming result.
Was Emma Sidi in Stath Lets Flats?
- The retrieved evidence does not confirm a Stath Lets Flats role.
Has Emma Sidi appeared in Taskmaster?
- Yes. Wikipedia confirms she competed in series 18 and finished third overall.
Her strongest recent work rests on broadcaster and platform records, while the Ghosts and Stath Lets Flats names circulate without a source. Anyone repeating those roles is repeating guesswork.
The implication: her confirmed record is mostly television, and her stand-up work is documented through listings and press rather than a full filmography.
What is Emma Sidi’s ethnicity?
No retrieved source states her ethnicity, and this piece does not supply one.
Her name is not evidence either. Nothing retrieved connects a surname to a background, so any answer built on the name would be speculation.
Where is Emma Sidi from?
- According to BBC News, her profile text gives her birth as February 1991 in the US, and says she was raised in Woking.
- That is a single retrieved profile mention, and it gives no day of birth.
The trade-off: the sourced background is thin, and a confident answer on ethnicity would need a source the research does not contain.
How old is Emma Sidi?
No verified date of birth appears in the retrieved sources. The only birth detail is a month and year from BBC News profile text, which gives no day, so no age is stated here.
Does Emma Sidi have children?
- No retrieved source mentions children.
Who is Emma Sidi’s husband?
- No retrieved source names a husband, partner, or spouse.
Pages that publish exact ages and family details without a named publisher are repeating unverified claims. Treat a precise birth date or a named husband as unverified until a named, dated source confirms it.
The catch: a birth month and year is not a birth date, and family status has no source at all, so both stay out of the confirmed column.
Where can I see Emma Sidi live?
Only one forthcoming live date appears in the retrieved sources: a Friday 20 November 2026 gig at Bristol Old Vic for Kool Story Bro, listed on Comedy.co.uk.
Which UK tour dates are listed for Emma Sidi?
One forthcoming date, one undated tour and one past tour: her live calendar is thinner than her screen record.
| Dates | Show | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Friday 20 November 2026 | Kool Story Bro, Bristol Old Vic | Listed (Comedy.co.uk) |
| 10 April to 22 May, year not stated | Kiell Smith-Bynoe and Friends: Kool Story Bro UK tour | Year unconfirmed, according to Sue Terry Voices |
| October to November 2024 | Emma Sidi is Sue Gray | Past (Beyond the Joke) |
Chortle’s tour page showed no forthcoming listings when retrieved, which conflicts with the Bristol date on Comedy.co.uk. Dates change, so the venue remains the best check.
What this means: a single dated 2026 show is a thin basis for planning, so anyone hoping to see her should confirm the Bristol date with the venue before booking travel.

- Height: no retrieved source

The pattern: the confirmed column covers television and past touring, while the unverified column holds almost every personal detail readers search for.
The retrieved sources carry direct quotes from Emma Sidi only, so the words below are hers.
“I’ve been doing sketch, character comedy and improv since university.”

In a second BBC News remark, she called one of her shows a real manifesto of her taste, left-field and very cheeky.
The next checkable milestone is the second Saturday Night Live UK series, which Chortle reports will run 12 episodes from September 2026 into early 2027. Until a venue or broadcaster confirms more than the single Bristol date, the live side of her career stays thinly documented. Fans planning a 2026 night out should check Bristol Old Vic directly, because Chortle lists nothing else and a single date is a thin basis for travel.
