Arabs Are Not Funny is back at Canada Water Theatre’s beautiful building with FIVE top comedians from the Arab world and beyond attempting to prove the naysayers wrong!
LINE UP:
Fathiya Saleh
Youth worker by day and comedian by night, North West London comic Fathiya with Somali-Yemeni roots, shares the funny mishaps of what it’s like being Muslim and living in a Somali household.
Fathiya recently appeared on the BBC Asian Network comedy special.
Ahmed Ibrahim
King Kong winner October 2021, Ahmed is another of South London’s brightest lights, appearing at Up The Creek and many other top comedy clubs. His natural, relaxed style is charming and endearing.
Jenna Al-Ansari
Jenna is a Bahraini/British writer and performer. She has worked in arts and comedy in London for the last decade, and is part of the Soho Theatre Writer’s lab, and a shortlisted finalist for the Sister Picture/South of the River Screenshot Award.
Phil Marzouk
Making his Canada Water Theatre debut is general scamp and So You Think You’re Funny? 2021 finalist Phil Marzouk: a man that Egypt’s tri-annual and only comedy magazine Tutan-HA-mun called “kind of okay, but not great”. Currently making a nuisance of himself all around Normal Island with shows anywhere that’ll have him.
Usif Musa
Only a year in, Usif Musa has already established himself as a promising young talent, he has beaten notorious gong shows such as the UTC blackout three times, Ding dong gong show (Vauxhall comedy club), and he’s chortle student comedy semi-finalist. His calm and charismatic stage presence allows him to deliver stories and punchlines with an almost effortless demeanour that captivates everyone.
