“Don’t miss your chance to see Andy preview his Edinburgh Fringe show” – Plan Z!

“The best political comedian in the business, Zaltzman lets loose a veritable torrent of jokes, facts, observations, very short stories, silly remarks and inspired asides…Zaltzman is breathtakingly good.” – Time Out

Bilal Zafar is the 2016 winner of the prestigious New Act of the year (formerly Hackney Empire award) and was also the runner up in the Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the year competition.

The East Londoner has been described as a wry storyteller with an instantly amenable onstage demeanour. His impressive material ranges from topical, satirical to mildly bizarre with plenty of inventive imagery.
