Shappi Khorsandi

Iranian stand-up Shappi Khorsandi is feisty, flirty and effortlessly funny as she handles every subject with a razor sharp humour, softened only by her deliciously dizzy delivery and endless charm.

Following a sell-out run of her one woman show at the 2006 Edinburgh Festival and an extended run at The Soho Theatre London, Shappi has appeared on Radio 4 and 5 Live as well as making several TV appearances, most notably in Mock The Week, Lenny’s Britain, The Big Read and Never Mind The Full Stops. In 2008 she was the highlight of the Amnesty International Secret Policeman’s Ball.

‘Khorsandi is fast emerging as one of
the best comic in the UK, full stop’
