Aamer Rahman and Nazeem Hussain are Australian comedy duo Fear of a Brown Planet. Following sell-out shows in Australia, they're finally making their Edinburgh debut. Tackling the topics of immigration, race relations and the War on Terror head on, Fear of a Brown Planet promises to provoke and entertain audiences with an anarchic take on politics and race, whilst boldly tackling the delicate topic of Islam. More fun than a night in Guantanamo. 'Just go see it. It's extraordinary' (Age). 'Intensely amusing political stuff, from a very different point of view' (Daily Telegraph).

Fear of a Brown Planet: the fast show
Australian comedians Aamer Rahman and Nazeem Hussain are finding Scotland a tough place to do Ramadan.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 10th August 2011More details
After huge success at home, Award Winning Australian comedy duo Fear of a Brown Planet are making their much anticipated Edinburgh fringe debut.
Fear of a Brown Planet sees Aamer Rahman and Nazeem Hussain tackle the topics of immigration, race relations and the War on Terror in their trademark confrontational style, head on.
Not your average stand-up comedians, Fear of a Brown Planet, promises to bring audiences a distinct brand of thought-provoking political comedy, designed to entertain and aggravate in equal measures. Their anarchic take on politics and race, at home and abroad, both reflects on, and celebrates, the differences of growing up brown in white Australia whilst boldly tackling the delicate topic of Islam.
Leave your prejudice at the door.
