Hajar J WoodlandProfessional company

60 minutesHoot 5
British-Iranian stand-up, singer and Channel 4 Secret Genius finalist Hajar J Woodland makes her Fringe debut, with a musical comedy about the voice she wasn’t allowed to have. Raised in a Muslim household where singing on stage was forbidden, she became a professional singer anyway – performing for footballers and finance bros while chasing the kind of love Dawson’s Creek and 90s romcoms promised her. Blending stand-up, original songs and state-school nostalgia, Hajar, Like Badger explores faith, identity and teenage romantic idealism. Expect a bold, heartfelt debut about rebellion, belonging and finding your voice. Probably no badgers.
