IMRAN YUSUF | Star of Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow and Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee
Imran Yusuf is renowned for his stinging, lyrical street-slang verbiage and super-high energy performance. Fast and furious yet charmingly endearing, his is a unique voice on the comedy circuit.
“Imran Yusuf's show heralds the birth of a new comedy star. Intelligent, thought-provoking and laugh out loud funny.” TIME OUT
He seamlessly switches between styles with graceful fluidity, repeatedly delivering heavy-weight punch lines with enormous panache. His seemingly light-hearted satire is mixed with hard-hitting topical commentary on contemporary issues that culminate into a tour de force of comedy offering an all-embracing sentiment in his trademark styling.
“Imran Yusuf has to be one of the most captivating, energetic, and animated stand up comedians I’ve ever seen. His act is at a mile a minute, and he doesn’t let off for any of it.” THE NEW CURRENT
In 2010, Imran presented his debut solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival .
The show, An Audience with Imran Yusuf, gained the first of a collection of 5 star reviews within a week, and led to him being nominated for Best Newcomer in the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award 2010. All of this whilst fasting between sunrise and sunset in observation of Ramadan.
Imran’s TV debut was also made shortly after the festival appearing on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC1) and the Edinburgh Comedy Fest (BBC3) broadcast in September 2010.
