Shappi Khorsandi: Skittish Warrior

Date: Sunday, Mar 10 2019
Time: 8:00pm
Venue: Bristol Old Vic

Comedian, author, cultural icon and – most recently – idiot who agreed to be tortured on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, Shappi Khorsandi is a woman of many parts.

But live comedy is where she’s in her element, and now – after her spell in the jungle – she sets out for the more welcoming destination of Bristol.

A brand new show packed full of sharp-tongued gags and cultural observation, this is Shappi’s warts-and-all journey through the ’90s comedy scene, to breaking through on telly and then letting it all slip away.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

As heard on Radio 4, read in two warmly-received books, and seen sleeping in a hammock.

“She has plenty to say, and says it with pointedness and potency” – The Guardian

8pm, £16.
