After a sold out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, and having raised over £4000 for Medical Aid for Palestinians, Aisha Amanduri (Runner-up Bath Comedy Fest. New Act Award) and Hasan Al-Habib (winner B’ham Comedy Fest. Breaking Talent Award 2023) ARE BACK!

Tired of being called terrorists, Hasan and Aisha became something much worse: comedians! See the double act people are already calling "Anwar and Dec-ina"

As the free sticker at the end of the show claimed, “First I was afraid, now I’m Islamified.”

I wasn’t afraid but I was curious as what to expect and was pleasantly surprised, also glad I managed to take in this gem of a show.

It was a Halal feast of comedy.

The Garden room at Bar 50 is a tight squeeze and has a basic set up but the comedy duo used the space as best they could. They fulfilled roles as ticket sales, ushers, tech and performers, which is all part of the fringe experience. Once they started the surroundings were unimportant. What followed was clever and beautifully written insight.

“2 Muslim 2 Furious 2: Go Halal or Go Home” explores the nuances of Muslim identity, culture, and experiences. The show’s title itself, being a clever play on words, referencing the common phrase “go hard or go home” while incorporating “halal,” which means permissible in Islam. This set the tone for a humorous and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be Muslim in contemporary society.

The show features Aisha Amanduri and Hasan Al-Habib who use their experiences being Muslim in diverse communities as prime material for their comedy. Aisha hailing from Kazakhstan and Hasan from Iraq tackled topics such as cultural expectations, religious practices, personal struggles and the British citizenship test. The show entertained while also challenging stereotypes and fostering understanding.

Their use of popular game shows made them a regular “Antwar and Dec-ina” and their tongue in cheek version of a well-known show renamed, “Who wants to be a Muslim-heir” was a delight.

The contestants from the audience were rewarded with their prize of Halal Haribo’s.

Both employed warm and engaging crowd work which brought the onlookers onboard, especially the running gag of trying to convert the non-Muslims to follow Alah.

We were also treated to a stand-up slot from both, which did break the flow slightly. They are a dynamite duo together and bounce lines back and forth like a Wimbledon rally.

By using humour to explore these topics, “2 Muslim 2 Furious 2” helped break down barriers and create a more nuanced understanding of Muslim experiences. Their comedy had the power to humanise and normalise diverse perspectives, making it a fantastic vehicle for promoting empathy and challenging prejudices.

Overall, the show was an entertaining and thought-provoking experience, offering a fresh perspective on Muslim identity and culture through the lens of comedy. If you are looking for a show that will make you laugh while also challenging your assumptions, this show might be worth checking out.

Also, 25% of the show proceeds goes to fund medical aid for Palestinians, a worthwhile blend of comedy and compassion. Click Here For Review

Comedy duo Aisha Amanduri and Hasan Al-Habib bring the strongest stage presence that I have ever seen, in their show 2 Muslim 2 Furious 2: Go Halal or Go Home. Based on their own experiences and creating jokes on the stereotypes of being a Muslim, they confidently relay themselves, holding the audience in the palms of their hands as the room fills loudly with laughter.

Being an Asian, Muslim woman myself, and having lived amongst Muslim communities, I fear I have to mention that most of these jokes are ones I’ve already heard growing up. They felt slightly unoriginal, and were more directed to entertain a White audience. Muslim friends who had accompanied me to the show even argued that they themselves could stand up on stage and complete a comedy show at this point – if it meant that all they had to do was repeat simple jokes that we’ve said amongst ourselves. They ranged from the simple “bomb joke”, Asian aunties, struggles with walking through the airport without being deemed “suspicious”, and of course, the ritualistic way of having a crush on a White boy as an Asian daughter.

It felt like there were only a few jokes directed toward a Muslim audience, such as a comment on a “sheep being slaughtered”, quickly followed by a quip “This one’s for the Muslims [in the audience]”. The one that stuck and hit me with the most laughter was the following exchanged of dialogue:

Hasan: You don’t know what type of Muslim you are?

Aisha: No, I know what I am. I’m one of the good ones!

In addition to that, the comedy set held a recurring joke of “converting” audience members to Islam: “A special shout-out to Brother Anthony, who was ‘converted’ to Brother Abdullah!”

A favourite segment in particular was shown in the first half of the show, following the titular structure of a popular game show: “Who Wants To Be a Muslim Heir?”. With questions and answers as hilarious as they come, audience members try to win the label “Muslim Heir”; comparatively, the second half lacked a certain something. It may be due to the first half being a set shared between the duo, whilst the latter half included individual sets split between them, seeming as if they chucked this into the show at the last minute just to fill up the 1-hour time slot.

Despite this, not once did I stop smiling and laughing during their show. I’m unsure whether this was based on following the non-Muslims laughing rambunctiously throughout, or if instead it was due to the way the comedy duo hold themselves (both confidently and humorously). But representation still counts as representation — so we’ll take what we can get! Click Here For Review

Do you know how to spot a stealth Muslim? Can you remember daily prayers by your five-a-day veggies? These are just some of the handy “Muslim life hacks” served up by Aisha Amanduri and Hasan Al Habib, back in Edinburgh with their sequel show 2 Muslim 2 Furious 2: Go Halal or Go Home.

Hasan, an award-winning standup from Birmingham with Iraqi heritage, brings confident delivery, a knack for storytelling and an easy rapport with the audience. Aisha, from Kazakhstan (yes, the Borat puns make an appearance), offers a vibrant counterpoint, her observations laced with sharp wit and the occasional sucker punch of poignancy.

The premise is simple but effective: two Muslim comedians navigating the contradictions, stereotypes and absurdities of life in Britain. The show blends laid-back banter with solo spots and audience participation game shows, such as Who Wants to Be a Muslim Heir. These segments are fun in concept but still need polishing; the pacing sometimes dips, and transitions can feel improvised rather than intentional.

The chemistry between Amanduri and Al Habib, or “Antwar and Dec ina”, is undeniable, as they bounce off each other like a long-running double act. What stands out most is the warmth: these are not two furious comedians railing against the world, but two confident, happy young performers who have found their place in modern British society. Questioning your roots, religion and heritage is essentially British, so they pass the citizenship test with flying colours.

2 Muslim 2 Furious 2 is a funny, stereotype-smashing hour of afternoon standup. With pay-what-you-can tickets and a portion of proceeds going to Medical Aid for Palestinians, the show is as generous in spirit as it is in laughs. Click Here For Review
