Aarian Mehrabani makes his debut stand-up hour with How's Your Head? at Bluebell, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Brown, blind and bi — there was already plenty to talk about. Then 2024 arrived and brought a brain cancer diagnosis. Written by the multi award-winning writer of the 2023 Fringe show described as a Motherf**king Pleasure, this 60-minute show is commissioned by Lowry. Suitable for audiences aged 16 and above. Contains distressing themes and strong language.
Why see this show?
A debut stand-up hour from a writer with a proven ear for comedy, tackling material — blindness, bisexuality, brain cancer — that could easily overwhelm but, by all accounts, does not. Personal and unflinching.
