Culture, comedy and plenty of laughs with Arabs and Asians
If you’re looking for something entertaining, different and guaranteed to give you a good few laughs at the Fringe, check out Arabs and Asians playing this week at the Pleasance Courtyard.
The show as the title suggests is a showcase of some of the best comedians from both Arab and Asian backgrounds performing at the festival this year.
Expect plenty of funny stories about family, culture, identity and everyday life.
The show was put together by host, Pakistani comedian Salman Malik and features a variety of other well-known names, some with very high profiles on social media – including Tez Ilyas, known for the show “Man like Mobeen” and his “Making a Husband” podcast. Also featured are Hasan Al-Habib, Sami Abu Wardeh, Nadia Manzoor and Omar Badawy.
You definitely don’t need to share the same background to appreciate the humour. Whether you’re from the community, have friends or family who are, or simply love discovering brilliant comedians, Arabs and Asians promises a warm, lively and unforgettable night at the Fringe.
The show supports the charity Forgotten Women run by women, for women, dedicated to helping women in crisis.
Arabs and Asians is running from the Pleasance Courtyard till Sunday, August 16.
