About Osman Shibli
Some Young Boys is a split-bill comedy work-in-progress from Osman Shibli, a student and youth company, showcasing the comedic talents of Jon and Osman. Both draw on their experiences living in England and abroad. Jon is described as a naive boy who will make you laugh but also make you want to punch him in his face. Osman is someone who has looked 30 for his entire life. Running 60 minutes at Just the Spare Room, the show is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over and contains strong language.
Why see this show?
A work-in-progress split bill from two young comedians finding their voices — the raw energy of early-career comedy, grounded in experiences of living in England and abroad. An inexpensive and genuinely unpredictable Fringe hour.
