Following our obsession with Shappi Khorsandi, we went to see her opening show last night at the Soho Theatre, courtesy of her agents Off The Kerb Productions (thank you very much!)
Shappi acted as both usher and compere introducing herself and organising her audience so we all got maximum benefit.
She delivered Carry On Shappi re-vamped with new material in a natural, engaging and intimate style that is beyond comparison to anything we have ever seen.
Book now to see Shappi - Tickets: £12 (£10 concs) to buy online click
