Isabelle Farah: Work in Progress

A work-in-progress stand-up show by Isabelle Farah at Camden Comedy Club in London, built around family life and cultural background. The material is still being developed on stage.

This is a stand-up comedy show in development, performed by Isabelle Farah. The set looks at the roles people take on within their families, with jokes about becoming a mother at an older age, the relationship between mother and daughter, and growing up Lebanese.

Farah's broadcast work includes appearances on Radio 4, Channel 4 and ITV. On screen, Farah has also played a glazed ham in a Christmas advert for Walkers Crisps, a light-hearted detail that gives a sense of the performer's range.

The show takes place at Camden Comedy Club, a comedy club on Camden High Street that hosts mainly stand-up comedy, alongside other theatre performances. Because the material is a work in progress, the evening offers an early look at jokes that are still being refined in front of a live audience.
