2015 Edinburgh Fringe
Ahir Shah: Distant
Thoughtful wastrel Ahir Shah does another funny and good stand-up comedy show. It's about cigarettes, vegetarianism, extremism, disengagement, depression, environmentalism, walking, and pirates. Shah's incisive brand of stand-up combines lyrical language, emotional frankness, and sweet gags. This erudite, philosophical style has seen him perform across the UK and abroad, earning consistent acclaim and an inconsistent income. The venue is centrally located. The show is free. Nice. 'A sophisticated comedian with an elegant, eloquent style that probes beyond the superficial' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Charismatic and of rewardingly cerebral approach' (Guardian). 'He is made for stand-up' (List).
