Live at the Apollo star brings his stand up to Slough

A show about trying to be a good person while staying a 'badman' will visit The Curve next week. 

Nabil Abdulrashid: The Purple Pill is a stand-up show by the Live at the Apollo star which explores empathy, morality and political contradiction.

A long long time ago, in a land far far away, a toddler was transfixed on a TV set. The kind with a big back. This toddler was watching Richard Pryor do a thing called stand-up comedy. This toddler had no clue what that was, but from that age he became obsessed with comedy.

Nabil Abdulrashid grew up in a late/post-military regime in Northern Nigeria, born to two academics. When he grew into a teen he had to push this ambition to the back of his mind as a career in comedy was not a realistic ambition (or so he thought).

But as fate would have it, two decades later Nabil would saunter into an open mic night and make his first attempt at stand-up, this went terribly. But as consistency is key and after months of licking his wounds, he tried again and kept going. Through the years of mastering his craft, he has now taken on the world to become a world-class entertainer.

In 2010 aged 25, Nabil became the youngest black comedian to perform stand-up at the Hammersmith Apollo. He was crowned the joint winner of Which Religion Is Funniest? competition, judged by David Baddiel and Omid Djalili.

Nabil Abdulrashid has featured on Live at The Apollo, Have I Got News for You, The Big Narstie Show, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Unapologetic.

His show visits the Curve Venue in Slough on Friday, June 28 at 7.30pm. Tickets are £16.50.
