SHAPPI Khorsandi is celebrating the 40th anniversary of her arrival in Britain. She's reclaiming patriotism, sending a love letter to her adopted land.

Star of Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News for You and Q.I., Shappi brings her latest tour to Southampton this weekend.

Oh My Country! From Morris Dancing To Morrissey, visits The Nuffield Theatre on Sunday April 30.

With her whip-crack jokes she handles every subject with a razor sharp wit, softened only by her deliciously mischievous delivery and endless charm.

Last summer saw the highly anticipated release of Shappi’s debut novel Nina Is Not OK. An already accomplished author, Shappi is the best-selling author of A Beginners Guide to Acting English, released in 2009.

Shappi has notched up numerous high profile television appearances including; Live At The Apollo (BBC ONE), Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, 8/10 Cats,Channel 4’s Comedy Gala At The O2 (Channel 4, 2010 - 2016), Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC ONE), The Graham Norton Show (BBC ONE), Have I Got News For You (BBC ONE) and her own Comedy Store Special for Comedy Central.

She also had the honour of being nominated at the prestigious British Comedy Awards in the Best Female Comic category up against Jo Brand and Sarah Millican.

Shappi has appeared as a panelist on ITV1's Loose Women and BBC ONE’s Question Time.

An Iranian female stand-up comic who established herself on the London circuit back in the early 2000's, Shappi is feisty, flirty and effortlessly funny.
