Opening the show is Slim! One of the UK’s biggest stand up stars and the undisputed king of the Black British Comedy Circuit. Seen on Celebrity Pointless, The Russell Howard Hour and Live at The Apollo.
Physical, ebullient and unashamedly for the people, his multi award-winning 20 year career has seen him perform to thousands all over the world. He’s sold out several smash hit tours, including the Hackney Empire numerous times over. Slim has also supported several high profile US acts including Kevin Hart and Dave Chappelle. Slim is also the first Black British comedian to sell out the London Palladium with his own show.
With Fatiha El-Ghorri! Underneath Fatiha’s colourful hijab is a mind full of cutting observations and engaging witticisms on 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 Islam, Muslims, and Muslim women especially. As seen on The Jonathan Ross Show, The Russell Howard Hour and ITV’s Stand Up Sketch Show, Fatiha is quickly making a name for herself tackling tough subjects by sharing her own experiences in her own funny and thought-provoking way.
Hosted by the hilarious Tom Toal!
