Presented by the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in her much-anticipated Australian debut

Shappi Khorsandi
Asylum Speaker
Terrorism, bulimia, Enid Blyton… It hasn’t always been glamour, glamour, glamour for this sassy Iranian.

In the early '80s, Shappi became a refugee long before it was fashionable. Then Scotland Yard uncovered a plot to assassinate her father. Terror had followed them from Iran to West London.

Feisty, flirty and effortlessly funny, Shappi handles every subject with razor sharp wit, softened by a deliciously dizzy delivery and endless charm. Don’t miss her first visit to Australia.

“Britain’s best young female comic by any yardstick.” The Guardian

“… socially aware without being overbearing, and jam-packed with great gags.” chortle.co.uk

“Don’t be fooled by her innocent looks, she packs a deceptively powerful punch.” Evening Standard
