Camden Fringe: Shazia MirzaDespite the protestations of her family, famed Muslim comic Shazia Mirza drops into the Roundhouse for four gigs at the Camden Fringe. You see, Mirza's parents would much prefer that she was a doctor or married at home and kept under wraps. Which is, funnily enough, how the 34-year-old made her break, technically speaking: performing in hijab dress and making jokes about her pilot licence in the wake of 9/11. Notoriety followed for the "quite unique" Mirza (The Guardian), who soon ditched her job as a teacher to concentrate on breaking down cultural barriers through the medium of stand-up. Almost a decade on, however, her frank and honest routine about what it's like being a young Muslim woman seems to be losing its topicality, and it remains to be seen if she can adapt on stage as she has off (Mirza is now an award-winning columnist at the New Statesman). Still, her laconic one-liners should keep momentum going - and anyone who dares to make anal sex jokes in front of sell-out crowds in Pakistan deserves our attention. This new show - A Portrait of Shazia Mirza - includes stories about her portrait being hung in the National Portrait Gallery.
 

About Roundhouse

It's great to see this fabulous arts venue re-open its doors after a stunning refurbishment. Boasting a colourful history, the Roundhouse initially started life as an engine shed. It was later transformed into a bonded warehouse for Gilbey's Gin before Arnold Wesker the playwright came along in 1964 and established Centre 42 here, insisting it became one of the most cutting-edge performing arts venue in the country.
