An ode to his immigrant grandfather, how the world is better than we think it is (small print: but progress is cyclical) and a marvellous longform comparison between Ahir and Rishi Sunak. Politically astute and emotionally hopeful, we cannot think of another comedian operating at this level of intelligence, craft and confidence.
Double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Ahir Shah returns for his first full Fringe since 2019's Dots (now a special on HBO Max). This one's about family, immigration, marriage, history, politics and beans. As seen on Mock the Week, The Mash Report, QI, Live at the Apollo, Frankie Boyle's New World Order, Have I Got News For You, and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. ***** (Telegraph). **** (Guardian). **** (Times).
