2018 Edinburgh Fringe
Bilal Zafar - Lovebots
Best Newcomer nominee 2016 and Hackney Empire (NATYS) winner is back with a brand-new show! Social media has been taken over by bots spreading hate, fear and influencing how we vote. In Lovebots, Bilal has made his own bots to fight back, except these bots only want to spread love and compassion. As seen/heard on BBC Three, Channel 4, MTV, BBC iPlayer, and BBC Radio 4. 'Witty and absorbing... highly entertaining' (Times). 'Delivers big laughs' (Guardian). 'A natural storyteller with a very likeable stage presence' ***** (Shortcom.co.uk).
