Ahir Shah

Double Edinburgh Comedy Award ‘Best Show’ nominee Ahir Shah is one of the fastest-rising comedians of his generation.

Shah’s sharp, intellectual brand of stand-up features a blend of philosophical inquiry, political vigour, and sweet gags.

Ahir is warming up his latest show Dots which completely sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe and is being filmed for HBO Max in early June. It follows Duffer and Control which also sold out and were nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show and subsequently toured the UK and overseas.

Ahir has performed internationally at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Adelaide Fringe and Just for Laughs Montreal, and has toured in continental Europe and India.

He has performed stand-up on BBC2's Live At The Apollo, Radio 4's The Now Show and Comedy Central's Stand Up Central. Outside of stand up, Ahir has also been seen on shows including BBC1's Have I Got News For You, BBC2's Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, Channel 4's Catastrophe and Campus.

He has also performed and regularly writes on BBC2's The Mash Report and has written and starred in the short films Ahir Shah’s Summer for Sky and Ahir Shah’s Life Lessons for BBC Three and has developed two sitcom pilots for Channel 4.
