 Terrorism, bulimia, Enid Blyton… It hasn’t always been glamour, glamour, glamour for this sassy Iranian. In the early '80s, Shappi became a refugee long before it was fashionable. Then Scotland Yard uncovered a plot to assassinate her father. Terror had followed them from Iran to West London. Feisty, flirty and effortlessly funny, Shappi handles every subject with razor sharp wit, softened by a deliciously dizzy delivery and endless charm. Don’t miss her first visit to Australia.
We went to see this show on Sunday night after just flipping through the festival guide and picking a show. It turned out to be a good choice as Shappi was quite funny. Her jokes about the current climate (terrorism, et al) in the UK were especially funny. They were the sort of jokes that only a person of Iranian or Middle Eastern background could say. Her jokes on being a refugee and growing up in the UK were not that funny in comparison. The only negative about the show was that the show felt long... I was waiting for the show to end so that we could leave. That tells me that it was not fully engrossing as some of the other shows. In spite of that, I would highly recommend this show.
