Stand-up show by Taskmaster star Fatiha El-Ghorri, her first-ever stand-up tour, strictly 16+.
Fatiha El-Ghorri brings her first-ever stand-up tour to the Belgrade Theatre on Saturday 21 November, as part of Cockney Stacking Doll. It's a long run of a show, which has been on the road since 25 April and doesn't wrap up until 17 December, so this is one of the later dates in the calendar.
If you've come across her name recently, it's probably from Taskmaster and Mr Bigstuff, where she's become a bit of a breakout star. Since then, she's been popping up all over the place: Live At The Apollo, QI, The Last Leg, The Jonathan Ross Show, Cats Does Countdown, and Donkey. On the radio, she's appeared on BBC Radio 4's Off Menu, Alan Carr's Life's A Beach, and A Match Made Inshallah. This is her first time taking a full hour of her own to the stage, and it's already picked up the Best Debut Show award at the Leicester Comedy Festival.
Critics have described it as a debut that justifies the hype, built on strong language, stereotype-smashing and impeccable timing. Danny Dyer called her 'a funny c**t, you are', and the New York Times praised her 'impeccable timings and tough-girl shtick'. It's a set she's been refining over months on the road, and she's admitted she never thought she'd be touring when she first started doing comedy.

One thing to keep in mind before you book: the show is strictly 16+ because of the swearing and adult content, so it's not one for a family night out. It runs for an hour and fifteen minutes, starting at 7.45pm at the Belgrade Theatre on Belgrade Square, CV1 1GS, and tickets are £23.
