Lots of super fun, intelligent humour on race, religion and identity can be found in Eshaan Akbar's show at the Gilded Balloon.


Following his sell-out run in 2017, Akbar returns armed with a copy of the Qur'An in hand. It's a much funnier book than people give it credit for. Akbar's own journey tells him that faith still has a place in modern society. 'Genius stand-up comedy' ***** (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine).
