We’re all some kind of arsebiscuit. The trick is how to be more biscuit and less arse.

What price friendship, when revolution beckons? What price joy & compassion? And what about the menz?

In her first new solo show in 2 years, Zehra is back doing what she does best; a goulash of storytelling and political commentary, peppered with absurdity, dark humour and personal context.

Winner, Outstanding Performer, Tea with Terrorists, NZ Fringe 2017

Nominee, Best In Fringe, Homicidal Pacifist, NZ Fringe 2016

Zehra has been performing comedy since 2011. She is also blues singer/songwriter, writer, director and accomplished actor who has worked at the National Theatre and toured internationally with the Royal Shakespeare Company. She has also appeared on radio and TV, both as a performer and an activist, most notably as a panel member on ABC Australia's panel show Q&A, discussing marriage equality.

Zehra is a consummate writer and performer and has a great connection with her audience. She is a storyteller, political satirist, intersectional feminist and humanist with a unique take on the world, equally at home exploring the individual experiences of daily life and the larger issues of the world we live in.

She has performed her solo shows all over the world, including Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Nordic Fringe, Fringeworld (Perth), Brighton Fringe, Adelaide Fringe and New Zealand Fringe.
