Edinburgh Fringe
Leila Navabi: Composition
The Welsh, brown, gay, Gen-Z comedian presents her debut hour: an audacious punk musical-comedy show about the dubious ethics of artistically exploiting marginalised identities for social gain. Leila grew up learning to utilise and monopolise her 'minority identity' for evil and mischief. Her show doesn't rely on these identities, but her overwhelming prodigious talent, actually. Star of BBC's Vandullz and the BBC New Comedy Awards 2022, Leila has written for Bad Education (BBC) and Never Mind The Buzzcocks (Sky), and can be heard in Channel 4's Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.
