2 MUSLIM 2 FURIOUS Tired of being called terrorists, Aisha and Hasan became something worse: comedians. But “2 Muslim 2 Furious” (2M2F) was written before they realised its impact on their US visa applications. So their dream of “conquering America” is on hold (just how were those visas ever rejected?). But these ethnically-challenged Muslims also have a UK-based goal - smashing stereotypes! Aisha and Hasan prove that not all British Muslims perform useful jobs, like doctors, nurses or playing for Liverpool. But just try to name a funnier Kazakh-Iraqi double act… we’ll wait!...

“Ask A Stripper” returns to Edinburgh Fringe once again, and this time it’s personal. Stacey Clare (author of "The Ethical Stripper" and co-founding member of East London Strippers Collective) and Gypsy Charms (the creative powerhouse behind "The Illicit Thrill") are two former strippers, who bring their razor sharp wit and ballsy feminism into the festival context, inviting audiences to ask them anything at all. Between them they have over 30 years combined experience of dealing with boozed up punters in seedy strip joints, so no heckle is too much of a challenge. Audiences are invited to...
