Two comedians walk into a relationship. What do Kazakhstan and Macedonia have in common? Aisha Amanduri (Rolling Stone’s 'gifted and important voice') and British Comedian of the Year Vlad Ilich share a stage and a home. A gag-packed split bill about love, identity and being a "typical British couple". They’re only here to split the bill. Probably. 'A confident, gag-packed set.' (Comedy.co.uk). 'Funny in the best way' (Helen Bauer). 'Smart, goofy and consistently funny' (Scotsman).
