Shazia Mirza - New Work archiveShazia was born in Birmingham, to first generation Pakistani parents. In her earlier days she started her career as a science teacher, whilst secretly developing writing, acting and comedy skills at drama school, with late night gigs across the country. Her performance on the Have I Got News for You, made her friends and family realise the extent of Shazia's ambitions. Her comedy delivery style of fusing contemporary issues with her personal experiences, blends with her taboo-breaking, deadpan style. My mum can't find me anyone to marry. My friend Matthew who is a gay, politically correct social worker, looks at me with great concern and says, "You're not thinking of becoming a Jihadi Bride are you?" Would I do that? I mean the weather in Britain isn't great, and the sunsets and landscape in Syria are mean to be very romantic... I'd get a husband, wouldn't have to work, and would definitely get a place in heaven. Yes I'd miss my hair straighteners and hot pants, but that's a small price to pay. Revered, applauded, loved and reviled Shazia Mirza is an award-winning comedian and columnist, as much recognised for her literary prowess as she is for her unique comedic talents. She has appeared on Have I Got News For You, is a regular panellist on The Wright Stuff, Comedy Central's The World Stands Up, NBC's Last Comic Standing and BBC Radio 4's The Now Show. Listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy she won the GG2 Young Achiever of the Year Award also Woman of the Year. Shazia Mirza - New Work website.
