About Wafa Daldoul
Fresh Off the Boat is a stand-up comedy show by Wafa Daldoul, a professional company, performed at Terrace. Wafa moved to the UK expecting high tea, red telephone boxes and Jude Law — and instead found herself a fish out of water in Belfast. The show is a sharp, playful take on immigration, identity, motherhood and everyday culture shocks. Wafa is also available to take your job, particularly if you are a software engineer or an open mic comedian. The show runs for 60 minutes. Tickets are £7 and it is suitable for ages 16 and above.
Why see this show?
Warm, self-aware comedy about the collision between expectation and reality — told by someone who moved countries, became a mother and somehow ended up doing open mic nights. At £7 it is one of the better-value stands-up bills at the Fringe.
