About the show

Last year, Omar Badawy accidentally found himself in the middle of a far-right march. And somehow that still wasn't the hardest part of his day. Join the award-winning Saturday Night Live UK writer for his highly anticipated debut show, a collection of stupid little tales about the comfort and cost of avoidance, The Daily Mail and nose jobs. Support for Emmanuel Sonubi and Aziz Ansari. As seen on Channel 4. BBC New Comedy Award finalist. Chortle Awards Best Newcomer nominee. So You Think You're Funny? winner. 'A veritable gag-machine' (Chortle.co.uk).
