- Nabil Abdulrashid
Britain's Got Talent finalist Nabil Abdulrashid reworks and updates his 2021 hit tour show, N.A.B.I.L. (Nobody Actually Believed I'd Last).

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.

As seen on BBC Funny Festival Live and Richard Osman's House Of Games.

Refreshingly radical fare, smartly woven into a gag-packed set... a fresh comic voice
The Telegraph

The star by a wide margin... animated by a sardonic intelligence and sharp eye for the absurdities of racial discourse
The Guardian

Defiant and fearless
The Metro

Hilarious
