From farming to banking The Afgan Accountant recounts a life story so hilarious it has to be heard to be believed.
The Marty Fieldman look alike is joined on stage by Anil Desai who uses improvisation to create comical characters with side-splitting results. Imran Yusuf draws the evening to a close with his stinging, lyrical street-slang verbiage and super-high energy performance that repeatedly delivers heavy-weight punch lines with enormous panache.
Anil Desai made his name as an impressionist and made the leap into stand-up in 2005. His set involves Desai giving a deck of cards (with a famous name on each one) to the audience, asking them to choose a couple of cards and then challenging them to create a scenario for him to act out. At this point the magic happens with Desai improvising a situation in which the characters interact, with side-splitting results.
Imran Yusuf is renowned for his stinging, lyrical street-slang verbiage and super-high energy performance. Fast and furious yet charmingly endearing, this is a very unique voice that has never been heard before. Born in Mombasa, Kenya and raised in the UK, Imran seamlessly switches between styles with graceful fluidity, delivering heavy-weight punch lines repeatedly with enormous panache.
