SHAPPI
KHORSANDI
‘MISTRESS AND MISFIT’
Assembly George Square
Studios (Studio 3), 3rd – 27th August (not 14th)
at 6.40pm
Shappi Khorsandi presents England’s unsung heroine, Emma, Lady Hamilton. For too many years she has been known as just Nelson’s mistress, a bit of a harlot (you get one job in a brothel and bang goes your reputation). Women’s lib wasn’t a thing in Georgian times. Emma moved mountains to haul herself from scullery maid to Lady Hamilton … and yes, she occasionally danced naked on tables to get ahead in life, but who hasn’t? As a fellow naked dancer on tables, Shappi raises a glass to the woman England betrayed.
Star of Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News for You and Q.I., Fringe favourite Shappi Khorsandi is back with a brand new show for the 2017 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Don’t miss ‘Mistress and Misfit’ at Assembly George Square Studios from the 3rd – 27th August at 6.40pm.
Shappi is the best-selling author of ‘A Beginners Guide to Acting English’, released in 2009, followed by her debut novel ‘Nina Is Not OK’, which was published by Ebury in July 2016 to much critical acclaim, and released in paperback in February 2017.
Shappi has notched up numerous high profile television appearances including; Live At The Apollo (BBC ONE), Channel 4’s Comedy Gala At The O2 (Channel 4, 2010 – 2016), Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC ONE), The Graham Norton Show (BBC ONE), Have I Got News For You (BBC ONE) and her own Comedy Store Special for Comedy Central.
