Nasser Al-Rayess brings International Habiiibi to Leicester Square Theatre.
London, it’s time to have a laugh. The Syrian-American comedian Nasser Al-Rayess is coming to Leicester Square Theatre. The show takes place on 2 April 2026, and here’s how to get hold of tickets.
Nasser is best known online as Naw Sir and the "Shawarma King." He is fast becoming one of the most exciting voices in comedy.
Blending sharp wit with cultural commentary, he explores the nuances of Arab-American identity while offering a humorous take on pop culture and current events. Drawing from his experiences growing up as a Muslim and Arab in post-9/11 America, his observations on everyday life and his appreciation for Arab culture have earned him a cross-cultural following.
Now, Nasser has more than a million followers on social media. He shares his sketches across platforms, including Instagram and TikTok, with one of his most popular series centred on “red flag” scenarios.
When it comes to live performances, his stand-up has taken him across the United States, with shows in cities ranging from Los Angeles to New York. Plus, global destinations such as Dubai – and now London. At the heart of his comedy lies a mission to unite audiences, redefine Arab-American humour, and bring Arab culture into the mainstream.
If you’re looking for more shows to watch at the Leicester Square Theatre, then you’re in luck. The theatre brings together cabaret, comedy, music and theatre. On 7 and 8 November, Micky Flanagan performs Afternoon Delight. Andrew Hamilton shares his show, Jokes About the Time I Went to Prison, on 10 November. On 21 November, Eleanor Conway performs the comedy show No Phones in the Hot Tub.
