Hugely acclaimed British Indian comic Shah headed up to the Edinburgh Fringe this year with a work-in-progress show entitled ‘Ends’ – three weeks later, the show’s status had been upgraded to finished and he’d taken home the top comedy award. The by all accounts tour de force of a show considers what his grandfather – who arrived in the UK in 1965 – would make of the UK today.
Another busy month for comedy in London combines the chance to see a trio of the most acclaimed shows from this year’s Edinburgh Fringe – from Ania Magliano, Lorna Rose Treen and Comedy Award winner Ahir Shah – with a chance to head to larger venues to catch new work from popular favourites Adam Kay and Munya Chawawa.
