Citizen Khan review

Citizen Khan is certainly a larger than life character and perfect for a one-man comedy show but ninety minutes worth does seem over ambitious in the playing. On the plus side, it is great that an audience of mixed races enjoys comedy together. Although his observations have an ethnic base, they are really universal subjects like keeping the family happy and making ends meet. His claim that things would be so much easier if everyone listened to his wisdom and did as he says is one that many families encounter universally. British Muslims encounter exactly the same problems as everyone else it seems. It's a funny old world.
