Evolution of Imaan: Sydney Comedy Shows

Sydney Comedy Festival is on again and I’m very much looking forward to seeing a very funny man there, My Imaan Hadchiti in his show – Evolution of Imaan.

See below his press release and information for the show. Sydney this is not one to miss.

 Imaan Hadchiti

Presents

EVOLUTION OF iMaAN

 

Imaan Hadchiti. Standing tall at just 3.4 ft,  Imaan’s not ‘bigging’ himself up when he says he’s breaking new comedy ground with his disarmingly cheeky premier of EVOLUTION OF iMaAN at The Factory Theatre @ The Matchbox this Sydney Comedy Festival

 

http://premier.ticketek.com.au/Shows/Show.aspx?sh=IMAANHAD13#.UXZ-m3BekXe

EVOLUTION OF iMaAN is a stand-up/Storytelling show in which Imaan unravels and figures out why he entered the Stand-up comedy world at the age of 15. Imaan made his TV debut on Australia’s National The NRL Football Show 2007, as the youngest stand up comedian to ever perform on the show, and has since become a household name, appearing in the Comedy TV Series Wilfred and Australia’s Balls Of Steel. Season 1 and 2

 

After a successful run in the Edinburgh Fringe festival, with 8 years of stand up comedy under his belt and sold out shows in the Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne Comedy Festivals Imaan finally comes to Sydney for his Sydney Comedy Festival debut with his most honest show yet, candidly exploring his constant efforts to be seen as a Comedian first and a short-person second. Sharing stories of actually remembering his first steps as a child, to his first steps on stage.  Recalling stories of performing in Freakshows to his now successful Solo shows.

Born a curiosity Imaan has always gotten attention whether he wanted it or not, Imaan uses his unrivalled passion for stand-up  to deal with people’s ignorance and to have a say in the kind of attention he gets.

Imaan’s composure, with his ability to identify, empathise and challenge standard beliefs, has granted him a unique place in the world of stand-up.

Mitch Fatel

I was so lucky to get the heads up from my friend who is working on the PR for the event. She arranged for me to go to Mitch Fatel and Jeremy Hotz last week. I had a blast laughing away with my friends. I can’t say Hotz was my favourite ever comedian but I certainly laughed a lot.

I also got to go and see my good friend Michael Hing perform on Thursday night at the Parade Theatre in Randwick. His show “The Illustrious Physicians of Love” also starring Magee was HILARIOUS! It was so quirky, fun and outrageous that they had me laughing right through the show.

It’s great to get out and have a laugh with friends and also get a chance to see some of Sydney’s great Venues like the NIDA Parade Theatre, the Virgin Metro Theatre and The Comedy Store at Moore Park.

Book tickets asap and laugh yourself  silly.
