Ahir Shah: Golden

Ahir Shah discusses love, money, family, responsibility, fear, forever and frogs. His last show, Ends, won the Edinburgh Comedy Award, toured to international acclaim and is streaming on Netflix. As seen on Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, QI, that sort of thing.

'The most important stand-up of the year, if not decade’ (Stephen Armstrong). ***** (Guardian, Independent, Telegraph, Standard, Chortle.co.uk).

Paddy Young: Will Sir Be Laughing Alone?

You’re born alone, you die alone. That’s true enough. But what happened to that part in the middle? Big Year for Pad. SNL (UK, but still a big deal), a bunch of awards (hate bringing them up), and plenty of bit-parts to boot. But what’s it all about? I’ve fallen in love more times than you’ve had hot dinners and I’ve fumbled every single one of them. But I don’t even think about that shit anymore.
Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee in 2023.
