Return of the 2022-24 hit show. Harun Musho'd is an Arabic name. Good news is I can't fly a plane. Bad news is I have a rucksack. If you don't like that joke, don't come to this show. 'Excellent show. Sharp and witty comedy from a rising star' (FringeReview.co.uk). 'A great comedian' **** (ViewsFromTheGods.co.uk). 'When so many newer comics are Stewart Lee wannabes, at least this bears comparison to the original' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Smart' (Scotsman).

About the show

Harun Musho'd: Why I Don't Talk to People About Terrorism is a stand-up comedy show at the Back Lounge by Harun Musho'd, presented through PBH's Free Fringe. Sharp, politically engaged and deeply personal, it mines the experience of carrying an Arabic name in a world of heightened security theatre. The 60-minute show is free to attend and aimed at adults aged 18 and over. It carries warnings for distressing or potentially triggering themes and strong language.

Why see this show?

Bold, smart political comedy that confronts uncomfortable double standards with wit rather than anger. Free entry makes it all the more worth turning up for.
