Shazia Mirza is an award winning British stand up comedian and writer. Her latest show, Coconut, has been nominated for ‘Best Stand Up Tour’ in Channel 4’s National Comedy Awards.

‘But what do awards mean anyway? Everyone’s got an award. You get awards these days just for leaving the house and recycling your yogurt pots.’

Her parents just want her to get married.
