John Luke Roberts / Aisha Amanduri & Hasan Al-Habib WIP @Buffering - Stand Up Comedy Night

Buffering: A Stand Up Comedy Night presents a double work in progress show from professional silly John Luke Roberts and "2 Muslim 2 Furious: Mecca Drift" (2M2F) by Aisha Amanduri & Hasan Al-Habib in Elephant Castle.
 

John-Luke Roberts is an artist, writer, comedian and actor. In 2023, The Telegraph named him one of the 50 best comedians of the 21st Century.

He’s created and performed 10 critically acclaimed solo shows, which he’s taken to the Edinburgh Fringe and around the world – from Norway to Australia. As a director and dramaturg he works with a number of comics, including Myra Dubois, Josh Glanc and Deborah Frances-White.

John-Luke’s writing has featured across TV and Radio – including co-writing the sitcom Bull, and the Audio reboot of The Goodies, both with Gareth Gwynn.

His podcast Sound Heap won the BBC Audio Drama Award for Best Sketch comedy, and you can hear it on the Maximum Fun network.

"2 Muslim 2 Furious: Mecca Drift" (2M2F) was written before Aisha and Hasan realised its impact on their US visa applications.
So their “dream of conquering America” is on hold (how were those visas ever rejected?!).
But these ethnically-challenged Muslims also have a UK-based goal - smashing stereotypes!
Aisha and Hasan prove that not all Muslims are terrorists or perform useful jobs, like doctors, nurses or playing for Liverpool FC.
But just try to name a funnier Kazakh-Iraqi double act… we’ll wait!
2M2F is a work-in-progress stand-up comedy show from:

“Birmingham Comedy Festival Breaking Talent Award 2023” winner Hasan Al-Habib and
“Funny Women One-To-Watch 2023” Aisha Amanduri

Hosted by:
