Line Up

Tamer Kattan
An Egyptian American powerhouse of a headliner who honed his skills in LA, New York and London, his career to date includes tours for the UN troops in Afghanistan, performing at the American University in Cairo during the Egyptian Revolution and an acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Fatiha El Ghorri
Underneath Fatiha’s colourful hijab is a mind full of cutting observations and engaging witticism of the life and times of a British Muslim woman. Fatiha smashes the Muslim stereotypes and challenges people to think about what they think they know about Muslim women. She tackles tough subjects like Islamophobia and dating by sharing her own experiences which are funny, thought provoking and honest!

Farah Sharp (MC)
Farah is an English-Egyptian comedian based in London. She has performed around the UK as well as in Sydney, Australia. Her stand-up is a mix of quirky opinions and anecdotes, often based around her upbringing or relationships and what she has (or hasn’t!) learnt from them.

Talal Karkouti
British-born, Syrian-bred Talal brings stand-up and music together in a gloriously furious and raucous way. Talal took to lockdown very well. You could say he’s been training all his life for it. But he is ready to get back on stage and bring all his songs, silliness and pent-up fury with him!
