London, let’s have a laugh. British Nigerian comedian Nabil Abdulrashid will be coming to Leicester Square Theatre. The Purple Pill show takes place on 23 and 24 February, and looks set to be an exciting event. 

Nabil’s show explores the idea of trying to be a good person in the modern world. He pokes fun at life’s complexities and contradictions. During the show, he makes fun of patriarchal Nigerian culture. Plus, there are lots of funny lines – “I like white culture, I’m a big fan of Lenny Henry”.

After completing a degree in Drama and Theatre, he began working as a stand-up comedian. At 25 years old, he became the youngest black comedian to perform at Hammersmith Apollo.
