Ahir Shah: Control

Date: Friday, Feb 23 2018
Time: 7:45pm
Venue: The Comedy Box at the Hen & Chicken Studio

In Control (Best Show nominee – Edinburgh Comedy Awards), rising comic Ahir Shah explores the current global sociopolitical turmoil in a show about freedom, fascism, history, hope, and resistance.

Ahir’s last show enjoyed packed runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, the Soho Theatre, and a national tour. In it, he theorised that we were being tugged in contradictory directions by a potential brighter future and the resurgent worst of the past. He’s currently trying to work out what the future now looks like in a time when the past appears to be winning.
