After a successful run with Gilded Balloon at the Edinburgh Fringe 2025, Kidnap, “a must-see show” (The Scotsman), by “a superb storyteller” (Get Your Coats On), is returning to London.
Based on the true story of Samia’s own kidnap to Saudi Arabia as a
child, the show is a dark, challenging and defiantly funny
exploration of multiculturalism, domestic abuse, having a disabled
sibling, and how kidnap can involve a swimming
pool.
The show is supported by the charity Sibs, BBC Comedy Collective
and Funny Women, and has been developed with directorial support
from Gareth Edwards (Mitchell
and Webb Are Not Helping,
Spaced,
Upstart Crow).
★★★★★
“A deeply personal piece of storytelling, and a story that deserves
to be heard and heard again.”
Get Your Coats On
“
Filled
with tenderness, humour, and the space to think,
Kidnap
captures the complication of human beings and the lessons we can
learn from those closest to us.”
Ed Fringe Review
“Entirely
engrossing, a bonkers story, brilliantly told”
BBC Comedy Collective.
