Great for dates or a night out with friends, and yes, there will be a group meditation to help us all deal with the chaos!

About Mustafa:

Mustafa is the co-founder of Munich's first weekly and longest running English-language stand-up comedy club. He has a rich background in improvisational theater and trained at the renowned Second City in Chicago, giving his performance a unique spontaneity. Mustafa's humor ranges from silly to dark, all with a semi-intellectual flair that adds to his distinct impostor syndrome.

Mustafa presented "Almost Legal Alien" in London at the Museum of Comedy, establishing his presence on the international comedy stage. He has supported comedy legends such as Reggie Watts and Todd Barry on tour and runs the English language night at acclaimed German comedian Michael Mittermeier's comedy club. In 2023 Mustafa performed to over 12,600 people across Europe.

His recent debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2024 was a resounding success, with 25 performances earning him a place in the prestigious 'Best Jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe 2024' in The Times and Edinburgh Evening News. He has also been featured in the Guardian, Sunday Post and Scotsman and highlighted as one of the best debuts to watch out for at the Edinburgh Fringe by The List UK and the Edinburgh Evening News.
