Pleasance

Admin

Janine thought she knew her family. Then she took a DNA test and things got messy. The highly anticipated second hour from Edinburgh Best Newcomer nominee Janine Harouni. The quick-witted New Yorker returns with a show that explores her Arab roots, pregnancy and what happens when your mail order DNA test does not go to plan. Star of her own Amazon Prime stand-up special and ITV2 sitcom Buffering. Seen and heard on The Russell Howard Hour, The Now Show and more. 'Ready for her Netflix special' ***** (Times). **** (Scotsman).

I'm doing the Edinburgh fringe at full-term pregnancy - and not just because I'd paid the deposit

Pregnancy is a privilege but is also weird, awkward and difficult. The cathartic nature of stand-up helps us consider the confusion of imminent parenthood.

Interview: Janine Harouni

The stand-up tells Eilidh Akilade about impending motherhood, her heritage and storytelling.
