- Ends, last year's Edinburgh Comedy Award-winning stand-up show from Ahir Shah, is being released as a Netflix special next month
- The hour-long special was recorded at London's Royal Court Theatre in March
- Shah will be the fifth British stand-up to release a Netflix special this year, when it launches on 10th September
Ahir Shah's Edinburgh Comedy Award-winning show Ends is to be released as his debut Netflix special next month, British Comedy Guide can exclusively reveal.
The comic is currently reprising the 2023 show, exploring his family's generational sacrifices, immigration and politics, at the Edinburgh Fringe from tonight for a 12-night run, ahead of its release on the streaming platform on 10th September.
The hour-long special was recorded at London's Royal Court Theatre in March, having begun life at the Fringe as a work-in-progress show. Shah took it to the US as part of the Netflix Is A Joke Festival in Los Angeles and will be touring it across the UK from 30th January, after a five-night residency at the Soho Theatre in London next month.
Ends is his second recorded special, after Dots launched on HBO Max in 2021, before airing on Comedy Central in the UK. The 2023 show has attracted a raft of plaudits, with the Evening Standard calling it "truly outstanding" and The Times hailing it as "a show so magnificent on every level".
Shah will be the fifth British comic to release a Netflix special this year, after Jack Whitehall, Jimmy Carr, Fern Brady and Phil Wang, as BCG exclusively reported last week.
Ends is produced by Shah's management company Avalon (Taskmaster, Starstruck) and the comic executive produces alongside Richard Allen-Turner, Julien Matthews and Jon Thoday.
Shah is also currently starring in Radio 4's charity-set sitcom Do Gooders, alongside creator Garrett Millerick, fellow stand-ups Frank Skinner and Ania Magliano, Fay Ripley and Lisa McGrillis.
