I first saw Isma Almos  a few months ago when she was going a slot at the Stand Comedy Club and thoroughly enjoyed her set, so keen to see more I joined many more in the bijou Stand IV.

Isma must be getting a name as she is one of the few comedian who boast a warn up act, in her case Mrs Hussain, a burqa clad lady doing the ice breaking and a few gags before introducing Almas.

In what is a show that is partly biographical and partly her opinions Isma extracts humour from her culture, her family, her chosen life style and to a degree her religion.

Ms Almas is not a in-your-face  type of comic she has a pleasing style of delivery and almost like she is chatting with friends in the pub , however she also is excellent with her material and timing.

So if you are looking for a lady with an undoubted future in stand-up and you are at a loose end during the afternoon then this could well be the show for you.
