Gothenburg Fringe Festival presents: Tea With Terrorists - Sameena Zehra

Venue: Henriksberg

Age: 18+

A roller-coaster ride of storytelling comedy

Sharing stories from a life that straddles two very different cultures; arguing with mullahs; being an atheist in a religious, liberal family; planning the perfect murder; wandering outside the green zone in war torn Kabul; being stalked by a sheep in Coniston; and having tea with some terrorists in Kashmir.

Journey with Sameena to find out why fear is redundant, joy is essential, and terrorists can be a real hoot.

Sameena Zehra has been performing comedy since 2011, and directing since 2015. She is also blues singer/songwriter and accomplished actor who has worked at the National Theatre, and toured internationally with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Sameena is a consummate writer and performer and has a great connection with her audience. Her humour is dark and her mind is absurd. She is a storyteller, political satirist, feminist and humanist with a unique take on the world, equally at home exploring the individual experiences of daily life and the larger issues of the world we live in. She has performed her solo shows all over the world, including Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Brighton Fringe, Adelaide Fringe and New Zealand Fringe.
