Imran Yusuf - Soft Jihad
Masterfully weaving socio-political satire with heartfelt introspection in his trademark charming and endearing style, Imran has been a pioneering voice in modern British comedy and across the world, racking up over 7 million hits on his YouTube channel.
This brand new show is an honest and cheeky celebration of modern Britain. Karma has caught up with the colonial past of our nation, and those who were once subjugated by the British Empire have made it their home. Be it the Mayor, the Prime Minister, or a Stand Up Comedian; Britain has bloomed into a bountiful basket of rich talent because many of us got on with integrating, working hard and making a massive contribution through patient and peaceful endeavour... Welcome to my ‘soft jihad’.
Imran Yusuf
Comedian who was a 2008 Hackney Empire finalist renowned for his super-high energy performance. Imran has a unique voice stamping his mark for positive, uplifting comedy at every turn. Born in Mombasa, Kenya and raised in the UK with a brief stint at school in the USA, Imran has also travelled much of the world including Israel/Palestine, Jordan and Saudi Arabia during the Lebanon Crisis in 2006. His work has been inspired by this rich multicultural background, giving him a youthful, energetic and highly original voice that embodies the multi-cultural wealth that exists in modern Britain. He seamlessly switches between styles with graceful fluidity, repeatedly delivering heavy-weight punch lines with enormous panache. His seemingly light-hearted satire is mixed with hard-hitting topical commentary on contemporary issues that culminate into a tour de force of comedy offering an all-embracing sentiment in his trademark styling 'Imran Yusuf's show heralds the birth of a new comedy star. Intelligent, thought-provoking and laugh out loud funny, it's a glorious debut' (Time Out).
