Isma Almas: About A Buoy interview
Ever since I saw the press release telling me all about Isma Almas and her show this year, I've been hoping to see it, because it sounds like just my sort of comedy: the kind that has a bit of a narrative, covers pertinent and topical themes, and - as well as being funny - has a lot of heart.
