Nabil Abdulrashid: N.A.B.I.L. (Nobody Actually Believed I’d Last)

Thursday 7th October 2021

After reaching the final of Britain’s Got Talent 2020 (3000 Ofcom complaints), Nabil Abdulrashid brings his brand-new stand-up show on tour.

From growing up under military rule in northern Nigeria to falling into legal trouble as a teenager in south London, join Nabil as he recollects the remarkable, chaotic and sometimes tragic (but always hilarious) story of his life so far.

Expect a night of ‘unapologetically funny’ (TELEGRAPH) stand-up as Nabil charts his journey from humble beginnings (and middles) to one of UK comedy’s most talked about rising stars.

‘The star by a wide margin… animated by a sardonic intelligence and sharp eye for the absurdities of racial discourse’
