Next up is a comedian that I’ve long been waiting to see, it’s Ahir Shah: Dots, at Monkey Barrel Comedy (3), at 13:45 on Wednesday 21st. Here’s the blurb: “Nominated for Best Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards in 2017 and 2018, Ahir Shah returns to the Fringe with a new hour of funny and good stand-up. Shah’s most recent show, Duffer, was performed to packed houses and critical acclaim at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe, followed by a sold-out run in London’s West End, and a UK and international tour. Now he’s written another one. Fingers crossed, eh? As seen on Live at the Apollo and The Mash Report. ‘A blazing talent firing on all cylinders’ ***** (Telegraph). ‘Magnificent’ ***** (List). **** (Times).

Ahir Shah has been on my list of comics to see for a couple of years now, and I’ve always just managed to miss him. However, the time has come and we’ll finally get to see him for ourselves. Check back around 3 pm to see how much we laughed. By then the next preview blog should be available to read too.

They say good things are worth waiting for…. Ahir Shah is a great comedian with a superbly constructed show, full of catch-you-out callbacks, fantastic observations and a whole lotta emotions. He also liked my laugh 😀 – good man!! Packed house and a must-see.
