Jenan Younis – Jenanistan (Work in Progress)

BBC New Voices Winner 2019, Amused Moose Finalist 2020, 99 Comedy Club Bursary Nominee, star of BBC Radio Jenan’s Comedy Hour, Jenan brings you a work-in-progress show of what it means to always be the minority. You’ve heard of Syrians but have you heard of Assyrians? Here is a show that tells you what it’s like to be from an ethnicity that’s rarer than an unfiltered Kardashian family photo taking in tales of growing up as the only beige kid in a middle class Surrey school, avocado flavoured hummus (or is it humous?) and being trolled by Stacey Dooley fans, all the while navigating the fine line between assimilation and integration.
