2011 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Join Imran Yusuf for his brand new show Bring The Thunder!! - the sequel to his 2010 Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominated show, An Audience With Imran Yusuf. This is a show about pursuing your dreams with unrelenting enthusiasm and perseverance from the star of Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow.

Motivating, inspiring and 100% comedy!

An Audience With Imran Yusuf catapulted Imran from a relatively unknown performer to one of the most talked about comedians of The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2010.

Fast and furious yet charmingly endearing, his is a unique voice with his seemingly light-hearted satire frequently masking hard-hitting topical commentary on contemporary issues such as racism, sexism and religion.

Born in Mombasa, Kenya and raised in the UK with a brief stint at school in the USA, Imran travelled much of the world including Israel/Palestine, Jordan and Saudi Arabia during the Lebanon Crisis in 2006. His work has been inspired by this rich multicultural background, giving him a youthful, energetic and highly original voice that embodies the multi-cultural wealth that exists in modern Britain.

In 2010, Imran presented his debut solo show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show was part of the Laughing Horse Free Festival and it was Imran's intention to develop his craft and material at the Fringe whilst at the same time keeping under the radar of the UK Comedy Industry and Press. However, word about the show got out and within a week Imran had gained the first of a collection of 5 star reviews, which led to him being nominated for Best Newcomer in the Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Award 2010 (He was the first performer from The Free Festival to be nominated in the history of the Awards).

Imran has also appeared on Edinburgh Comedy Fest Live (BBC3) and Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow (BBC1).
