Shaparak Khorsandi: Scatterbrain

Wed 17 Sep

Over her 20-year career, Shaparak Khorsandi has performed to sell-outs crowds all in all corners of the globe. Nominated for the prestigious British Comedy Award, she has appeared on countless TV & Radio shows, including: Live at the ApolloMichael McIntyre’s Comedy RoadshowI’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of HereMock The Week8 Out Of 10 CatsMasterChefHave I Got News For YouQI, Pointless CelebritiesQuestion Time and Just a Minute, as well as her own show, Shappi Talk.

Having reassessed her life through the prism of an ADHD diagnosis in last year’s funny and moving memoir, one of Britain’s most beloved and most scatterbrained stand-ups, Shaparak lets you back into her mind (warning: it’s cluttered in there). Among other things, this show will be a love-letter to letter-writing, a trip back through her early years as a comic and woman-about-town, and a whirlwind tour of a chaotic, hilarious brain.
