Umar Azad | Halal? .. is it meat you're looking for??
Migrating to Australia as a child has given UK born Umar a unique view of
the world. In his much anticipated feature-length show, he
unapologetically describes the challenges of living multiple different
lives in order to survive. Join Umar as he lifts the veil of secrecy on
trying to be the best Bogan Muslim he can possibly be - without his
Pakistani mum finding out!
A poster child for cultural integration, Umar entertains crowds with
impersonations of influential people in his life, mixing high-energy
comedy with a unique urban flavour that left the crowd in stitches at his
sold-out split shows at FRINGE WORLD 2018.
