Featuring his signature blend of philosophical inquiry, personal examination, and sweet gags, Double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Ahir Shah returns to stand-up with a new show about significance, insignificance, and scurvy.
Ahir’s last show, Featuring his signature blend of philosophical inquiry, personal examination, and sweet gags, Double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Ahir Shah returns to stand-up with a new show about significance, insignificance, and scurvy. Ahir’s last show, Dots, was recorded as a special for HBO Max (albeit after a 14 month delay brought about by events you may recall). That show was about uncertainty. Ideally, this tour will end in a way that is less on the nose. As seen on Mock The Week, Live At the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, and The Mash Report. ‘Intricately crafted, profoundly moving, howlingly funny … a blazing talent firing on all cylinders’★★★★★ Telegraph ‘Tremendously thoughtful, woundedly candid and self-laceratingly funny’★★★★ Scotsman “It’s a highly personal howl in the dark from this sharpest of operators. Impassioned, probing and unexpectedly moving.” ★★★★ Mail on Sunday Wednesday 16th February 2022 – 8pm Tickets: £12 Under 25 £6 Culture Pass 2for1 Unlimited Pass Free 12+
