#1 Son: The Tale of an Alternative Arab Comedian and His Father

Ricky Gervais award finalist Ridwan Hussain teams up with Iraqi Sammer Elzubaidi in this brand new show. A conservative dad clashes with his son's alternative lifestyle in a stand-up comedy narrative. Observational comedy meets anti-humour, props and chaos in this sharp, heart-warming father-son show about generational divide, immigration and a shared love of stand-up. BBC New Comedy Awards shortlist, Hoots Fringe Act of the Year, Crack Comedy Comedian of the Year.
