Shappi hops over to the Waterfront

In addition to playing venues throughout the UK & Ireland, Shappi will also take to the stage for an impressive 15 night residency at London’s Soho Theatre.

Following on from a run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Dirty Looks And Hopscotch tells the story of how as a girl Shappi dreamed impossibly romantic dreams. She still does. But a love affair with a Rockstar - what on earth was she doing, thinking… in heaven’s name wearing?

In high demand across the UK, Shappi has been touring the UK continuously to sold-out theatres for the past three years including a 10 night sold-out run at the Soho Theatre in 2011. The Edinburgh favourite also had the honour of being nominated at the prestigious 2010 British Comedy Awards in the Best Female Comic category up against fellow nominee’s Jo Brand and Sarah Millican.

Shappi has notched up numerous high profile television appearances including; Live At The Apollo (BBC ONE), Channel 4’s Comedy Gala At The O2 (Channel 4 – 2010, 2011 & 2012), Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC ONE), Graham Norton Show (BBC ONE), Friday Night With Jonathan Ross (BBC ONE), Have I Got News For You (BBC ONE) and her own Comedy Store Special for Comedy Central.

As a sought after cultural commentator, Iranian born Shappi has also appeared on Question Time (BBC ONE) and Woman’s Hour (BBC Radio 4) as well as penning columns for several national newspapers and magazines including the Guardian, New Statesman and GQ.

Her debut book, the critically acclaimed autobiographical A Beginners Guide To Acting English (Ebury Press) is available now in paperback.

Tickets for the Belfast show are on sale now from the Waterfront Hall Box Office on 9033 4455.
