Details

Shaparak (Shappi) Khorsandi is one of the hottest comedy prospects in the country. She's feisty, flirty and effortlessly funny she handles every subject with a razor sharp wit, softened only by her deliciously dizzy delivery and endless charm. Shappi presents England's unsung heroine. 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'. Yes, she occasionally danced on tables naked to get ahead in life, but who hasn't? As a fellow naked dancer on tables, Shappi is inspired by Emma, although she never wants hair big enough to house mice in. Shaparak Khorsandi - Mistress and Misfit - Work in Progress website.
