About Njambi McGrath
Njambi McGrath returns to Edinburgh with a stand-up show that takes a satirical look at revolution — past and present. Drawing on examples ranging from the Greeks and Tibetans to the French and Africans fighting for independence, the show examines why people throughout history have found innovative ways to challenge authority. McGrath argues that wherever there is injustice, oppression, elitism and feudalism, resistance follows. The show runs for 60 minutes at The Penny and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A sharp satirical lens trained on some of history's most significant uprisings, delivered with stand-up wit. If you enjoy comedy that makes you think as well as laugh, McGrath's exploration of why people push back against power is well worth your time.
