Hosted by War on Want
Shazia Mirza began stand up comedy in September 2000 and since then shot up the ladder, picking up along the way the 2001 Hackney Empire Best New Act competition at the London Comedy Festival and winning Metro Magazine's People's Choice Best Comic Award at the London Comedy Festival 2002.
She has appeared on BBC's Have I Got News For You and recent work has included a short stand up tour of India for the British Council.
"Her laconic one-liners represent something quite unique in modern comedy. In these fraught times, she actually manages to make being a Muslim woman seem wonderfully life-enhancingly funny. Anglo-Islamic understanding is now even more elusive than before, but if anything, that makes Shazia's comedy even more valid, and even more vital" The Guardian Guide - William Cook
