Saaniya Abbas: Hellarious

The razor-sharp Dubai-based comedian previews her Edinburgh Fringe show, her official solo debut. She’s no novice, of course – she’s supported Jason Manford and Schalk Bezhuidenhout on tour, has opened for Frankie Boyle too, and she has more than 500,000 followers on social media. We’re told that Hellarious “dives deep into the absurdities of divorce, internet fame, and identity, wrapped in Saaniya’s signature wit and bite …’My mother always said I’d go to hell, so I figured I might as well write a show about it'”.

She takes the show to Abu Dhabi tomorrow (31 May).
