Edinburgh Fringe
Mustafa Algiyadi: Almost Legal Alien
Libyan Arab stand-up Mustafa Algiyadi - **** (The Voice) - longs to be part of the European way of life but is confronted with some cultural differences that make it confusing, chaotic and sometimes highly inappropriate! If you're up for picking apart bad habits, religion, meditation, velvet sofas and for learning how to deal with annoying people, then why are you not booking your ticket already?!? 'A warm and engaging comic' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Hilarious storytelling' (ThePlaysTheThingUK.com). Approach ducks with caution.
