About the show
Omar Badawy is a comedian and writer presenting his highly anticipated debut show, Guided Detour, at Bunker One, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show is a collection of stupid little tales about the comfort and cost of avoidance, and recounts how Badawy once accidentally found himself in the middle of a far-right march — which still wasn't the hardest part of his day. Presented by Country Mile Productions, the show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. Tickets start from £9.
Why see this show?
A debut solo show from a writer with a sharp eye for the absurdity of everyday avoidance. Badawy turns small, awkward stories into something larger and funnier than the sum of their parts.
