Birmingham
Shazia Mirza
Following the success of her critically acclaimed recent stand-up shows; With Love From St. Tropez, a riot of Brexit, buquas and butt-plugs, and The Kardashians Made Me Do It, a searing and urgent exploration of life, love and Jihadi brides, Shazia’s latest show, ‘Coconut’, was nominated for ‘Best Stand Up Tour Show’ in Channel 4’s National Comedy Awards, and takes on the burning (and infectious) issues of our time.
Born in Birmingham, the eldest daughter of Muslim Pakistani parents who moved to England in the 1960s, Shazia read Biochemistry at the University of Manchester and spent time as a science teacher - she taught Dizzee Rascal - before becoming a stand-up comedian.
