JENANISTAN: Work in Progress
BBC New Voices winner, Amused Moose New Act and 99 Comedy Club Award Finalist, Star of BBC Radio JENAN’S COMEDY HOUR, Jenan brings you a work-in-progress show of what it means to be ‘ethnic’ in modern Britain.
You’ve heard of Syrians but have you heard of Assyrians? Navigate a show that tells you what it’s like to be from an ethnicity rarer than an unfiltered Kardashian family photo that takes in tales including being trolled for calling out Stacey Dooley’s Iraq documentary, rejecting terms like “person of colour” and growing up as the only beige kid in a middle class Surrey school whilst teetering on the edge of assimilation and integration.
“Sharp hip smart comedian – Not to be missed!” The List
” Unique viewpoint” Chortle
