Nominated twice for Best Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards, Ahir Shah returns to the Monkey Barrel with a work-in-progress show ahead of a brand new national tour, because predicting the future of the entertainment and hospitality industries has never caused any problems for anyone. The show will be about significance, insignificance, and scurvy. Probably.

“intricately crafted, profoundly moving, howlingly funny... he’s a blazing talent firing on all cylinders” ★★★★★

Tristram Fane Saunders, The Telegraph

 “It’s a highly personal howl in the dark from this sharpest of operators. Impassioned, probing and unexpectedly moving.” ★★★★ 

Mark Wareham, The Mail On Sunday

“this is an outstanding show; politically necessary, personally eviscerating, and heavy on the laughs. To cover such range and depth without even a hint of cliche is an enormous achievement. Duffer has really come good.” 

★★★★½ Paul Fleckney, Chortle
