Multi-award winning British Asian Comedian Sajeela Kershi returns to NZ with her brand new WIP show! It picks up where her critically acclaimed show 'Fights Like A Girl' left off – a powerhouse-empowering show that she toured NZ in 2019.
In this show, Sajeela delves into the post-pandemic geo politics; culture wars, war on land, warring families – all through the cultural prism of her own experiences.
She wonders if Privilege is the new pandemic? Asymptomatic. Whilst we are bitchin’ about lack of free speech in the West, women in Afghanistan are invisible, denied a voice and education. Whilst we bemoan who has right to wear a dress and who wears the trousers in our society, Iran makes individuals disappear for a slip of the tongue or a slip of a (enforced) scarf.
Who holds the chalk that draws the line on what is or isn't offensive? On what you can and can't joke about? Whoever it is, the comedians, satirists and creatives want a quiet word with you, buddy.
Who will save humanity?
