Ladies Of Laughter

This latest Ladies Of Laughter gig sees Noreen Khan (pictured), Kyrah Gray and Tej Dhutia being joined by Brummie comedian Shazia Mirza.
Muslim Shazia is certainly not averse to treading a delicate line when it comes to her material. Her post-9/11 joke, “My name’s Shazia Mirza - at least, that’s what it says on my pilot’s licence”, marked her out as a comic who was happy to balance on the precipice of acceptable humour. Other examples of her style and content include: “My parents really want me to get married. But Muslim men don’t want to marry me because... I speak”, and “My dad said if I went out with a black man, he’d burn me. Which would be good, because then I’d be black too.”
Not to everybody’s taste, obviously, but then which comedian ever could be?
