The Guardian, 15th August 2016Edinburgh Fringe: Why comedians need to get serious
found myself sitting at a comedy gig at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe the other day and having a Richard Pryor moment. It was a decent show, by an established comic, musing on the vagaries of life. It was funny and well observed but all I could think was, what am I doing here? I wanted something different. A comic who would use his or her wit to interrogate some of the big issues we're facing.

Stephen Armstrong, The Sunday Times, 7th August 2016Shazia Mirza: 'Mocking Isil doesn't mean I'm brave'
Shazia Mirza had problems when it came to naming her latest show. The Birmingham-born comedian originally called it The Road to Al-Baghdadi, a reference to Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, the leader of Isil. But the Tricycle theatre in north London, where the show ran last year, had other ideas. "They said: 'You can't call it that. We're worried it will attract the wrong sort of attention.' I said: 'I don't think you should worry, Isil aren't comedy fans, Abu Hamza won't be coming with his mates,'" relates Mirza, 40, a practising Muslim.
